Athletes and Celebrities alike graced the red carpet at Wednesday night's 2011 ESPY Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. While there were a bevy of celebrities in attendance (Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Reynolds), it was the female athletes who stole the show.

With the woman's World Cup team headed to the finals on Sunday, female athletes are heating up the sporting world right now, both on and off the field.

We're used to seeing these ladies sweating on the field or bundled up in a ski suit, so when they sauntered down the red carpet on Wednesday, shoulders were turning.

Lindsey Vonn and Serena Williams vied for the most attention on the red carpet, Vonn in a short beaded dress and Williams busting out of her hot pink mini-dress.
