Paige Bueckers stunned in a fresh-of-the-runway look at the 2024 ESPY Award red carpet

The UConn Huskies star attended the annual ESPY Award as she was nominated in the category of Best Comeback Athlete. She was also one of the presenters for the Gatorade Athlete of the Year Award.

She wore a Lilac Kid Super suit to the red carpet. The suit, which was fresh off the runway, featured one of the brand's face doodle embroidery. Bueckers' celebrity stylist, Brittany Hampton, accessorized the outfit with white Jimmy Choo loafers and David Yurman's jewelry. Her hair was done up in a French braid updo with wavy tendrils framing her face.

Bueckers will return to her final season of college basketball and will aim to play with the healthy Huskies squad. Even though she could have declared for the 2024 WNBA draft, Bueckers wanted to play an entire season where she was free of injuries.

Considered a top pick in next year's draft class, she and the Geno Auriemma squad are also fans' favorites to win the 2025 NCAAW championship title.
