Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot and his wife Lilia attended the 13th Annual Tampa Bay Sneaker Soirée, an event celebrating the sports community in Tampa Bay. The event was held at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.
The Tampa Bay Sneaker Soirée is a one-of-a-kind event where formal wear meets sneaker culture. Attendees showcase their fashion-forward sneaker choices. Several celebrities attended the event, including WWE superstar Titus O'Neil, free agent cornerback KJ Sails, radio host Ronnie Lane Payne and Buccaneers analyst Tom Krasniqi, among others.
On Wednesday, Pepiot shared glimpses from the couple's time there. They arrived in coordinated black ensembles, with Pepiot donning a classic suit paired with sneakers, while Lilia turned heads in a sleek black dress and statement kicks.
"What a night at the 13th Annual @sportstampabay Sneaker Soirée," Pepiot captioned.
Pepiot posed for pictures with O'Neil and Sails, had an interview with Krasniqi and Payne and enjoyed several events as part of the celebration.
