AceShowbiz - The Olympic alpine skier, Lindsey Vonn, aged 39, stole the spotlight at the 2024 ESPY Awards on July 11 by donning a striking yellow gown. The dress, designed with a daringly high slit and a side cutout that revealed her rib tattoo, perfectly embodied both business and party vibes. The one-sleeve yellow silk gown was accentuated with a black clutch, strappy sandals and beachy waves, adding to the overall glamorous look.
Vonn's appearance at the ESPYS, an event that celebrates the past year's achievements in sports, was more than just a fashion statement. She was among a distinguished group of presenters that included notable figures from the athletic and entertainment industries. Stars such as Quinta Brunson from "Abbot Elementary", Golden Globe winner Rob Lowe, former WNBA player Candace Parker, and NASCAR's Ryan Blaney, were all set to present at the event. The show, hosted by tennis legend Serena Williams, aired live on ABC, beginning at 8 P.M. ET.
Known for her impeccable red carpet style, Vonn is no stranger to making bold fashion statements. At the 2022 ESPY Awards, she dazzled in a peach-hued Gucci gown that featured a fitted halter top, a draped neck and a mid-thigh slit at the back. The gown's plunging open back and ruching detail ensured she was the center of attention. She completed the look with white stiletto sandals, a textured ponytail and smokey eyeshadow matching the dress hue.
Earlier this year, Vonn was also a standout at the TIME 2024 Women of the Year Gala. She attended the event in a navy velvet blazer paired with a cream button-down shirt, a matching purse and pointed shoes. On the red carpet, she opened up about preserving the memory of her mother, who passed away in 2022.
"We had a family group chat, and she would send text messages almost every day with different inspirational quotes. I've got a million of them, and I always actually look back at them," Vonn shared with PEOPLE. "I am kind of getting to the point now where I can look back with happy memories and not completely break down."
