Denise and Katie Austin shared a heartwarming moment at the 2024 ESPY Awards.
The famous fitness instructor and her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model daughter were all smiles as they walked the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 11.
Denise, 67, looked stunning in a white dress with a high slit and silver accessories, and her blonde hair was styled in loose waves.
Katie chose a red dress with eye-catching cutouts and styled her hair in a ’90s-inspired updo with face-framing pieces.
While posing for photos, Denise proudly pointed to her daughter and said, “Sports Illustrated model!” PEOPLE captured the sweet moment. Then a photographer asked them to jump in the air for a photo, and they happily did, showing off their strong biceps.
Denise and Katie Austin had a special mother-daughter night out, two months after Katie’s wedding to Lane Armstrong on May 4 at her family’s estate in La Quinta, California.
Katie wore a Vivienne Westwood wedding dress, and for the rehearsal dinner, she wore her mom’s 1983 wedding dress, which she had altered into a minidress.
“It was such a special and unforgettable moment,” Katie told PEOPLE. Denise, who also has another daughter named Kelly, said that seeing Katie get married was amazing.
“I’m so happy Katie and Lane found each other. They are perfect together, supporting and appreciating each other in every way,” she shared.
The 2024 ESPYs, hosted by tennis star Serena Williams, will have many celebrities attending, including Jennifer Garner, Quinta Brunson, Lindsey Vonn, and Drew Brees.
Prince Harry, who will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service, and Dawn Staley, who will get the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance, are also expected to attend.
