While there was no official red carpet for the 2020 ESPYs, that doesn't mean attendees refrained from dressing to the nines from the comfort of their own homes. Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird [1], who each pulled off five amazing outfits, hosted Sunday night's remote show [2] along with Russell Wilson. They acknowledged the Black athletes who've fought for equality for years, as well as the work the industry still has to do. But in addition to using their voices to speak up about racial inequality in sports, they wore an assortment of stylish pieces by Black designers to echo their support for the Black community.
From casual T-shirts to classy evening wear, the couple wore various complementary looks that were not only super chic, but also highlighted Black designers — plus a whole lot of Nike sneakers. Styled by Karla Welch among other celebrity stylists, Megan and Sue mixed and matched pieces from Christopher John Rogers, Pyer Moss, Virgil Abloh, and more. Thankfully, Megan [3] gave us a full breakdown of each outfit on her Instagram Stories, because I need to know where to get all of these incredible sneakers. Keep scrolling for more details on their red-carpet-worthy outfits.

The couple switched to evening wear and stunned in draped Pyer Moss gowns designed by Haitian-American designer Kerby Jean-Raymond.
For another evening look, Megan chose a canary yellow ruffle top paired with matching trousers from Christopher John Rogers and Nike x Travis Scott sneakers. In an equally fun outfit, Sue wore a long Off-White blazer, pants, and purse, with A-Cold-Wall Nike sneakers.
The pair appropriately ended the night in comfy clothing — they wore silly T-shirts with each other's faces on them, in addition to Fear of God Nikes on Megan and Off-White Nikes on Sue.
