In the game of sports, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. That rule can also apply to the red carpet. 

As plenty of famous athletes and celebrities headed to the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles Wednesday night, many eyes were on the fashion as the 2016 ESPY Awards kicked into high gear.

Just like a coach would tell his players, everyone deserves an A for effort. But ultimately, some people have to come out on top. Shall we start with the winners? 

Ciara wowed in her first red carpet appearance since getting married to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. Before watching her man John Cena host tonight's show, Total Divas and Total Bellas star Nikki Bella also impressed with her little black dress.

As for the gentlemen, football stud Eric Decker likely got the ladies including his wife Jessie James Decker swooning with his style. As for Dwyane Wade, we can't help but applaud his shoe choice.

Sadly, some people didn't exactly hit it out of the park. Fitness instructor Denise Austin reminded some viewers of Britney Spears a la 2001. 

While snowboarder Mark McMorris had a nice suit, we can't help but stare at the bright white shoes that look better for the snow or gym instead of a red carpet. 

"Rise Up" singer Andra Day didn't exactly have her best look with her beaded Egyptian themed gown in blue. 

As for Carolina Panthers stud Trai Turner, we love that his personality shined through with the colorful suit. Green, however, just isn't something we are used to seeing on the red carpet.
