The 2018 ESPY Awards are finally here and sandals are trending on the red carpet with the night’s host Danica Patrick stealing the spotlight in a statement-making caged style.

Walking the red carpet with her boyfriend, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the 36-year-old former race car driver showed off a one-shoulder black minidress boasting golden round studs. The cherry on top of her head-turning look was her black gladiator sandals featuring a sexy lace-up design up the front and circular cutouts all over.

Meanwhile, Patrick’s 34-year-old NFL star beau, who previously dated Olivia Munn up until 2017, looked dapper on her arm in a classic black suit teamed with black patent leather loafers.
