The athletes were out in force for ESPN’s Espy awards on Sunday, a mostly fun event that gives nods to athletes and teams that stood out the previous year. The ladies showed lots of leg–that’s gorgeous tennis player Maria Sharapova above–while the fellas were all suited up and looking very slick. Though as far as style goes, I hate to say it but the NBA has it all over the NFL!

See Serena (with awesome mani, natch!), Estelle, Lindsey Vonn (who won female athlete of the year), Danica Patrick, Nicole Lyons, Laila Ali, Amare Stoudemire (sans Ciara, guess that’s over) and a few more.

Wwd reports on the collaboration women’s apparel line between dreamy basketball  player  Amar’e Stoudemire and  designer Rachel Roy:

Sports will play a major role in his collaboration with Roy for fall. Don’t expect the pieces to home in on active garb, though. “I am channeling a girl that goes to sporting events,” said Roy,

The line will launch in September at select Macy’s stores, macys.com and NBA.com, with retail prices from $45 to about $250.

Not that it’s any of our business since the topic is fashion but these too sure make a cute couple, just like the above logo. Check out more images on  the next page.
