The ESPYs have something to do with sports, which isn't exactly our strong suit here. But look, pretty dresses! Now there's something we're into. We've rounded up some of the fashionable famous faces we recognized in the sea of athletes on last night's red carpet.

Oh, Posh and Becks, you've really out-fabulous-ed yourselves this time. We don't mean to offend the antiPosh out there, but Victoria is perfectly channeling Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's days in this pale yellow Roland Mouret number. And yes, she had to keep the sunglasses on, they make the look.

And they weren't the only ones looking fab in the name of sports...

Starring roles in One Tree Hill and The Hitcher means fewer red carpet invitations to award shows for Sophia Bush, so there was absolutely no way she would waste an opportunity to glam it up in an elegant (too elegant?) belted one-shoulder gown. Love the hair, love the shoes, love the jewelry.

Alright Kate Walsh, we get that it’s the ESPYs, so you can have a little fashion fun, but there’s something a little too shiny, purple-y and just all-around Vegas-y about this Jenny Packman mini that offends us. That being said, dayum girl! Those are some legs.

Some of you might be wondering where in darnation is that Jessica Biel girl, who’s lucky enough to be dating host Justin Timberlake. Well, we managed to track her down.

It appears some neck injury prevented her from walking the red carpet, so she hung out backstage. Oh, wait...that's actually some sort of scarf? Hmmm, interesting.
