Laura Rutledge did not realize that her outfit would steal the spotlight from the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals, but that is exactly what happened on Monday Night Football.

The ESPN host had everyone’s attention last night, and it was not hard to see why.

Rutledge, a two-time Emmy recipient, has been with ESPN since 2014.

The 37-year-old could be seen inside AT&T Stadium rocking a black outfit with a white lace long-sleeve shirt that appeared to be see-through.

Before the contest, Rutledge and Mina Kimes posed side-by-side together.

“Laura Rutledge looking absolutely stunning and so sexy in this lace top!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,” one fan said.

“What’s that white thing that Laura Rutledge is wearing under her dress? Looks weird on TV,” a second fan stated.

“Laura Rutledge 😍😍😍😋😋😋,” a third fan wrote.

“Laura Rutledge so damn fine..!!” a fourth fan commented.

“Laura Rutledge is still wearing her Stevie Nicks Halloween costume,” one final fan added.

The University of Florida graduate started her career as a reporter for the SEC Network before being named the full-time host of “NFL Live” in June 2020.

“Before joining NFL Live, Rutledge was a contributor on Get Up,” Rutledge’s bio for ESPN states.

She is smart and beautiful, but she can also be petty.

Earlier this year, she revealed on sports writer Andrew Marchand’s podcast that she created a burner account on Twitter to address critics of her husband, former MLB player Josh Rutledge.

“When he was with the Angels, I made a fake Twitter — I’m admitting this, OK? I know this was wrong. I’m not doing it ever since,” Rutledge said on the “Marchand Sports Media” podcast.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
