Former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard stuns in tiny sequin dress on ESPY Awards red carpet alongside Olivia Dunne
TENNIS star Eugenie Bouchard joined the likes of Olivia Dunne at the glitzy ESPY Awards in Hollywood.
The ESPYs are an annual ceremony produced by ESPN to recognise individual and team athletic achievements.
Dubbed as sport’s equivalent to the Oscars, stars of the celebrity world flock to the red carpet and dress for the occasion.
The likes of gymnast Dunne, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard and tennis icon Serena Williams were notable names in attendance.
Influencer Dunne wore a gold dress and was joined by rap royalty Lil Wayne on stage during the night.
At Williams’ after party, the college gymnast cut a more relaxed look with a black top and white skirt.
Bouchard – a 2014 Wimbledon finalist – wore a tiny sequin dress on the night before later changing into a black outfit.
The Canadian briefly announced plans to walk away from tennis to focus on pickleball.
But, Bouchard is not totally done with the sport and plans to juggle rackets.
She told The Times: “I’m going to put tennis tournaments in where I can fit them in my schedule.
“Tennis is what I love and what I still want to keep doing. The pickleball schedule is the priority but I do want to insert those tennis tournaments.
“I want to achieve whatever I can. I’m not doing a full-time tennis schedule, so, of course, I need to understand that there will be limitations.
“I think I want to do as well as I can in each individual tournament and see where that goes.
“But I love tennis and it’s not something I want to give up yet at all.”
Other notable winners on the night were Terence Crawford as best boxer and Sean O’Malley picking up the MMA award.
Prince Harry also won the Pat Tillman Award for Service for his Invictus Games work.
Tillman was a former professional football player who became a US soldier and died in a friendly fire incident in 2004 in Afghanistan.
The Duke of Sussex’s Invictus Games supports wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women who have physical and invisible injuries.
Harry – dressed in a black suit and tie – picked up his award in person joined by wife Meghan Markle – who had a white dress on.
