Los Angeles, California – RedCarpetRunner.com, the premier destination for luxury red carpet runner and VIP event flooring, is shining the spotlight on one of the most highly anticipated cultural moments of the summer: Caitlin Clark’s nomination at the 2025 ESPY Awards, set for July 16 at 8 PM EDT and airing live on ABC and ESPN+. The star-studded ceremony will be hosted at the legendary Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where sports and celebrity glamour collide in what has become one of the most-watched red carpet events of the year.
While Red Carpet Runner is not directly affiliated with the production or carpet services of this year’s ESPYs, the company widely known for its impact in high-profile fashion shows, gala events, and award ceremonies is joining millions in celebrating the achievements of Caitlin Clark, who has become a national icon and a symbol of the evolving intersection between sports and cultural relevance.
Caitlin Clark from court to cultural icon: Caitlin Clark’s explosive ascent in the basketball world has done more than break records, it has redefined the narrative around women’s sports. Her style, grace, and media presence have elevated her into a new category of celebrity, where athletic performance merges with fashion and fandom.
“She’s created a red carpet moment without even trying,” said Edward A. Baker, founder of Red Carpet Runner and a long-recognized voice in the event industry as ‘The Red Carpet Guy’. “Caitlin Clark isn’t just an athlete—she’s an icon of this generation, and what she’s doing for women’s sports is nothing short of transformational.”
The power of the red carpet: RedCarpetRunner.com specializes in red carpets, event carpet, logo rugs, step and repeat backdrops, and event flooring used at VIP entrances, luxury galas, and high-fashion premieres. The ESPYs, while not a client event, represent the kind of spectacle that aligns with the company’s core identity—where media coverage, celebrity appearances, and visual storytelling intersect.
“Our brand exists to elevate entrances and create experiences,” Baker continued. “When you watch Caitlin Clark step onto that carpet at the Dolby Theatre, you’re watching more than a nominee walk in—you’re watching a new chapter unfold in how women athletes are perceived.”
Celebrity support and national buzz: the national excitement for Clark’s ESPYs appearance is further amplified by celebrity fans like Dave Portnoy, who has publicly declared himself her biggest supporter. That kind of cultural crossover from the sports world into viral media and influencer commentary signals the shifting media landscape that Red Carpet Runner is so closely attuned to.
Legacy through design and commentary: for Red Carpet Runner, celebrating events like the ESPYs even from the sidelines is part of its broader mission: to contribute to and reflect upon the evolving nature of luxury events, red carpet treatment, and high-profile moments. The company has previously weighed in on the Oscars, Met Gala, and even presidential visits where unconventional carpet colors made bold visual statements.
“Every red carpet tells a story,” said Baker. “And this year’s ESPYs? It’s about the rise of women’s sports. It’s about spectacle meeting substance. Caitlin Clark has earned her place on that stage and we’re thrilled to watch her walk it.”
