'DWTS' Alum, 28, Leaves Little to the Imagination in Daring Dress at ESPYs originally appeared on Parade.
Dancing With the Stars alum Ilona Maher left little to the imagination when she walked the red carpet in a daring dress at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday, July 16.
Maher, 28, made a statement in a bold black dress that dipped so low that it revealed her torso down to her belly-button. Additionally, the dress included an open back and sides that showed off her side boob. The Team USA rugby player completed the look with black heels and gold square hoop earrings, and she styled her hair back in a slicked updo and rocked a bold red lipstick.
She attended the event as a nominee in the Best Breakthrough Athlete category, which she won. Maher has competed in two Olympics, though the 2024 games in Paris marked the first time she brought a medal home.

In addition to building a fan base with her athletic skills, Maher also captured the hearts of fans with her positive attitude and sense of humor displayed on social media.
She continued to give a glimpse into her personality when she joined the cast of season 33 of Dancing With the Stars. Maher impressed fans with her dancing and work ethic, and she ended the season in second place with her partner, Alan Bersten.

Throughout her time in the spotlight, she has inspired many fans with her body positivity advocacy. Just three days before her ESPYs debut, Maher made headlines for sharing a body positive message on TikTok.
"'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'… Uh, y'all tried being strong? I feel good. I feel well fed. I feel ready to take on anybody," she said in the clip as she flexed her muscles. "You guys gotta try this s--t. It's a different level. I'm feeling … woo! I love it."
"And also, have you guys tasted tiramisu? Because that s--t… my God," she jokingly added.
