Track and field star Allyson Felix ran the last race of her more than 20-year professional career just days ago during the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Ore. Now, she’s celebrating her professional triumphs in the sporting world with statement style at the 2022 ESPY Awards on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
To attend the ESPN channel’s award show, Felix wore a long-sleeve fitted little black dress by Greta Constantine with defined shoulders and a mid-thigh hem. The dress featured a statement light pink ruffle extending from the left hem and wrapping up the body in an angular shape. Felix paired the dress with a pair of black Rene Caovilla stiletto sandals with slithering gold snake detailing wrapping up the heel.
