Alix Earle made a slick statement while hitting the red carpet at the 2023 ESPYs. On Wednesday night, the TikTok influencer arrived to the sports awards ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles with boyfriend Braxton Berrios — the wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins.

For the occasion, Earle wore a strapless black leather dress by Greek designer Zeynep Arcay. The influencer’s $2,950 style featured a midi-length bodice, complete with a curved neckline.

Earle allowed her dress’ texture, stitching and faint sheen to make the greatest statement, only accessorizing with a set of gleaming rectangular silver metal post earrings. Berrios, meanwhile, made a tonal statement in a light berry-pink suit, white shirt and thick white leather sneakers.

When it came to footwear, however, Earle finished her outfit by lacing into a slick pair of Steve Madden sandals for a monochrome finish. The star’s $115 Evita style featured thin, square-tipped soles crafted from black faux leather. Similarly, glossy patent strips created tiered toe straps, while longer cords wrapped around Earle’s ankles and calves for a cutout appearance. The influencer’s set was complete with thin 4.5-inch stiletto heels, providing her with a sharp height boost throughout the evening.
