Sports stars and fashionistas unite!

On Wednesday, America's best athletes headed to Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the 26th annual ESPY Awards and they didn't come in their ratty old jerseys.

Instead, the best sports stars from every team and event descended upon L.A. in their most jaw-dropping duds and we're still not over a few of their killer looks.

While most fans tuned in to see which athlete would take home Best Female Olympian (Chloe Kim you earned it girl!) at the 2018 ESPYS we were focused on that red-hot red carpet.

Sports stars from Olympic medalists to the show's host Danica Patrick AKA the fiercest race car driver around, all slayed the red carpet, with a few actress thrown in for good measure.

Our top 10 picks for this year's best dressed are below, but we want to know which attendee you think rocked the red carpet too, so get ready to vote!

ESPYS 2018: Riskiest Looks on the Red Carpet

To kick things off, we are shining a light on a few actresses who strutted their stuff while attending the iconic sports award show.

Allison Janney for example was a shimmer goddess in a silver Jeffrey Dodd frock before taking the stage as a presenter during the show.

Baby Driver star Eiza González on the other hand opted for a velvet gown by Rasario that seemed a little hot for a summer event, but it was so fierce that we will let it slide.

When it came down to this year's host, Patrick of course set the red carpet on fire while posing with her boyfriend, Green Bay Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. She wore a spicy mini dress by Saint Laurent that had metal studs all over for an edgy look we won't soon forget.

Singer Ciara was also in attendance—with her dreamy hubbie, Seattle Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson—and she definitely stole the show when she hit the carpet. Her burnt yellow Maticevski gown with Louboutins was so stunning and modern.

Two other actresses also caught our attention during the red carpet runway and we're so happy they did.

Olivia Holt rocked a black and red polka-dot mini dress that was funky and fresh while Jessica Szohr donned a sexy blue frock by Steven Khalil that had a deep-V neckline and serious side slit that was just the right amount of daring.

Of course it wouldn't be an ESPYS red carpet without all the stylish athletes, right?

One of the best of the night was three-time ESPYS winner Kim. The Olympic snowboarder chose a Dolce & Gabbana black gown with sweetheart neckline and Ben Baller gold chain necklace perfect for a gold-medal worthy ensemble.

Our other favorites from the night were also courtesy of Olympians, all of which are figure skaters.

Mirai Nagasu for example donned a glitter-tastic Jovani dress that had hidden pants underneath, which is so fierce.

Her BFF Adam Rippon stole the show in a white suit jacket (with studded embellishments on the shoulders), white long-sleeved shirt and perfectly tailored black slacks. His power pose on the carpet didn't hurt either! 

Last, but not least, is Nastia Liukin. The Olympic figure skater looked amazing as she walked the carpet in a saucy red velvet draped dress by Alexandre Vauthier. It was seriously red hot!

Now that you've seen our top 10 picks for the best dressed star at the 2018 ESPYS we want to see which athlete or celebrity you think stole the show.
