US Olympic star Ilona Maher wows at Emmys before joining fellow Paris heroes Stephen Nedoroscik, Caeleb Dressel and Ezra Frech onstage

Ilona Maher’s red carpet look at the 2024 Emmys was just as medal-worthy as her performance on the rugby field. 

The 28-year-old, who led Team USA to bronze in the women’s rugby sevens in Paris, wowed as she stepped onto the red carpet at the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. 

The two-time Olympian oozed old Hollywood glamour in a strapless midnight blue velvet peplum gown from Oscar de la Renta and statement drop earrings. 

The rugby star, who is set to dazzle in the ballroom in the latest season of Dancing With The Stars, finished off the bombshell look with her signature red lip and a curled updo. 

Maher continued to sizzle as she stepped out onstage in her second jaw-dropping look of the night.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model changed into a fitted strapless black gown with a risque split up the leg and eye-catching violet sculptural bodice. 

The athlete dazzled in her outfit change when she and fellow athletes took to the stage for a category announcement. 

Maher was joined by gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, who will rival her on DWTS, swimmer Caeleb Dressel and Paralympian Ezra Frech, who won gold in both the high jump and 100m in Paris. 

Maher is no stranger to serving looks after she made her SI Swimsuit debut as the magazine’s September digital issue cover model.

She showed off her figure in several swimsuits while flashing her Olympic medal by the beach for SI.

In Paris, she made headlines for talking about turning the Olympic village into ‘Love Island’ due to the high ratio of single athletes.

‘I cannot wait to get into the Olympic villa. It’s gonna be a crazy summer,’ Maher said in a TikTok video from July, parodying Love Island contestant introductions on the UK reality TV show.

‘Honestly, I’m probably the fittest bird in there.’

After an off-camera friend reminded Maher of her main purpose at the Olympics, she reluctantly agree to not turn the Olympic Village into the ‘Love Island’ villa.

‘I guess, if we wanna say that, but I still am gonna try to couple up early on,’ Maher joked. ‘It is early days, but I am there to find love.’
