Nelly Korda showed up to the ESPYs like she was ready to win a trophy for “Boldest Fashion Play of the Night”—and depending who you ask, she either nailed it or needs a serious timeout from her stylist.
Stepping out in a sizzling satin cut-out gown with thigh-high slit and diamond-crusted heels, the golf queen didn’t just turn heads—she twisted necks, made jaws drop, and had camera flashes going off like fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Fans? Torn. Instagram lit up with love from the glam squad:
“She ATE that look 🔥🔥🔥,”
“Golf’s baddie era has arrived,”
and, our personal favorite:
“Tiger WHO?”
But not everyone was applauding.
On X (formerly Twitter), the shade was real:
“Why is a golfer trying to look like a Kardashian?”
“I miss when athletes dressed classy.”
Ouch.
Enter stage left: Jessica Korda, big sister, fellow golfer, and unintentional scene-stealer. Jessica rolled up in a power-suit-meets-princess-vibes combo: sleek black blazer dress, pearl choker, and a purse shaped like a golf ball (yes, really).
Cue the headlines: “Sister Showdown at the ESPYs!”
Commenters weren’t shy either:
“Jessica looked elegant. Nelly looked like she got lost on the way to a Vegas show.”
Yikes.
But if you thought the sisters would stay quiet, think again. Nelly posted a cheeky mirror selfie post-event with the caption:
“She wore a suit. I wore the drama. Balance.”
Fans immediately jumped in:
“Is this shade? Is this sisterly love? Is this both? I’m invested.”
Insiders say there’s no real beef between the Korda girls—they’ve always had wildly different styles. Nelly goes bold, Jessica leans classic. But with every red carpet, the fashion feud just gets juicier.
Fashion bloggers had a field day:
“Nelly Korda is reinventing golf’s image. She’s no longer just the girl with the perfect swing—she’s the girl with the boldest bling.”
As for the ESPY audience? Let’s just say a few athletes may have forgotten who won what once Nelly hit that step-and-repeat.
So was it a win or a wardrobe whoa-no-she-didn’t?
Depends who you ask—but one thing’s for sure: Nelly Korda didn’t just make a statement—she was the statement. And next year? We’re watching to see what she (and her sister) serve next.
