Entrances are everything when you arrive at a party, and gymnast Katelyn Ohashi scores 10s across the board for hers.

The UCLA athlete had everyone’s attention Wednesday in Los Angeles when she performed a handstand in heels on the red carpet at the 2019 ESPY Awards.

Ohashi had on a white, sheer jumpsuit with floral appliqués. She completed the ensemble with a pair of matching sandals on a nearly 3.5-inch stiletto heel that had glitter-embellished straps across the toe and ankle. Twitter went wild over her handstand in heels.

Perhaps it’s no coincidence that she won the Best Viral Moment award for scoring a perfect 10 during a floor exercise routine this year. The Bruins star’s perfect performance has snagged more than 40 million YouTube views.

Skechers ambassador Denise Austin and her daughter Katie showed some impressive moves in heels, too. The fitness experts synchronized a flexing pose in the air, taking a giant leap in evening gowns and sandals. Katie had on a strapless red high-low dress with gold sandals, and Denise also embraced metallic in gold python-embossed sandals with a navy blue dress.
