An awards show isn't often the biggest night in sports, what with the Super Bowl and the Game 7's and all.

But it can easily be the most glamorous. And it's certainly one of the few places where athletes from all your favorite teams come together in one place and can actually enjoy themselves, with nothing to lose except for a spot on the best-dressed lists.

So to help you gear up for the 2016 ESPYs, honoring the best athletes, the biggest plays and the most memorable moments from the past year in sports, here's a look at all the stars—from the sporting world and beyond—walking the red carpet.
