Sports and fashion have been keeping us busy this week.

First, the 2026 ESPYS gave us a red carpet packed with looks worth discussing. Now, the TIME100 Sports Gala has entered the chat with championship-level style of its own.

Decorated athletes from across the sports world gathered in New York City dressed to celebrate. Jerseys, warm-up sets, and uniforms were traded for rich fabrics, sculpted silhouettes, and sharp tailoring.

Several stars also arrived with plus-ones who matched their fashion game. Ciara and Russell Wilson, LeBron and Savannah James, Jordan Chiles and more made their way down the carpet.

Time honors people changing the game—and in this case, quite literally. They are breaking records, shifting conversations and giving fans plenty to cheer about.

And on this night, they also gave us plenty to look at.
