WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan made headlines at the ESPYs on Wednesday, July 16, 2026, not only by bringing her WWE Women's World Championship belt but also for her eye-catching backless dress that captivated social media.

Although many viewers, including some reporters, did not watch the ESPYs live, Liv Morgan's appearance quickly became a trending topic online. Headlines described her look using terms like "stuns," "frenzy," "backless dress," and even "sideboob."

Morgan is no stranger to causing a stir outside the WWE ring; the last time she generated such a commotion was when she left the Stranger Things Season 5 red carpet in a pile of ashes. Earlier in 2026, she made notable appearances during Monday Night RAW events at venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York on March 30 and the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia in February.

Her presence at the ESPYs, an event not related to WWE, highlights her growing influence beyond wrestling.
