In the words of Laney Wilson, “those boots will never go out of style,” but country music's greatest connoisseurs are wearing their boots for glitzy events like the 2024 ACM Awards. Sometimes I get excited by wearing them. Unfortunately, for some singers, trading in denim and leather for diamonds and lace isn't always an upgrade.
Not every red carpet outfit is as revered as the boots worn by Wilson's sidekick, but the ACM nominees' list promised a night of unforgettable fashion moments. Wilson was the only female singer nominated in the Entertainer of the Year category, including country music's bell-bottom beauty queen herself. She joins other style stars in the running for the award, including Kelsea Ballerini, Kacey Musgraves, Kane Brown and Megan Moloney.
Reba McIntyre never goes out of style, either, and the audience at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, was thrilled to see her as the “Fancy” singer hosted the 17th Annual ACM Awards Show. They may be looking forward to showing off their stunning looks while changing outfits. night. (Ahead of the event, she told Billboard that her own aesthetic would be “tough, sexy cowgirl.”) She was unable to critique the looks of all the other attendees before the show. Unfortunately, it was to warn some people. 'Going out like that' might not be the best idea.
Kylie Morgan seemed ready to scandalize the megachurch
The higher your hair, the closer you are to God. Kylie Morgan may only date cowboys, but from the neck up she looked like the wife of a megachurch preacher. Her beehive hairstyle was perfectly composed and her coral silk robe was a bit choir-style. From a distance, the jeweled decorations on her dress looked like small crosses. But the scandalous length of her skirt would make the little old ladies of the church cringe. (Someone please give this girl a role in “The Righteous Gemstones,” stats!)
Rayna Roberts was a cabaret cowgirl
Rayna Roberts wrote the “Bad Girl Bible” and played a role in launching Mrs. Carter's country music career, so her fashion exploits were expected at the ACM Awards. But instead of giving something bold and edgy like the cover for Beyoncé's adult single “Texas Hold'em,” she styled it like Christina, Her Aguilera, Mya, Pink, Lil' Kim's Her 2001. 's “Lady Marmalade” music appears to have been referenced from her video. Inspiration. Her outfit looks like a saloon girl's outfit, and the peach fabric tied around her waist also interferes with her red hair.
Scotty McCreary was a tall drink with layers of beer.
Former “American Idol” star Scotty McCreary earned some points for wearing something other than blue jeans and a blazer, but his ensemble was a bit of an eyesore. What we're trying to say is that we're not “feelin' it.” He may sing about drinking taxis in his solo, but his costume seemed inspired by black and tan. His camel-colored coat was a little too tight and clashed with his black T-shirt. A man wearing a chain over a black top will also give off a The Rock meme vibe.
Kassi Ashton's flamenco debacle
Kassi Ashton has covered Christina Aguilera's classic “Genie in a Bottle,” and it looks like she's now in the “dirty” era. But instead of rocking low-rise underwear or chaps with a brown suede bralette, she wore a layered skirt with ruffles and lace-up details. After cutting up the brown chaps and petticoat and sewing them together, it will look like this. Her outfit also included some pretty shiny pieces, including a necklace with studs and concho medallions at the waist. Her outfit was more appropriate for dancing flamenco at Coyote Ugly's bar than celebrating her first ACM nomination.
Karen Fairchild looked ready to visit a galaxy far, far away
Forget about the dock. Karen Fairchild looked ready to take off and explore Mars, or at least the B-movie set version of Red Planet. The Little Big Town member wore a silver minidress with one sleeve and matching knee-high boots. The metallic fabric was cheap and reminded me of a sexy space cadet costume. Apparently, she was able to find a Spirit Halloween that opens extra early.
Jelly Roll and Bunny Zoe's failed attempt at coordinating
Bunny Zoe is known for wearing wild outfits, but the problem with her ACM dress wasn't that it was too revealing or flashy for the occasion. Unfortunately, the royal blue hue of her figure-hugging gown clashed badly with the light brown jacket her husband Jelly Roll decided to wear. (Come to think of it, it looked like it was made from the skin of a cheap recliner.) Maybe she thought the copper-colored rhinestones emblazoned on the gown would tie their look together But they only made it seem like she was doing it. Sprinkled with rusty shine.
HunterGirl had to find a less chaotic outfit
The theme of the ACM night seemed to be cheap costumes. Apparently, former “American Idol” contestant Hunter Girl went bargain hunting last Halloween, including a black bustier from a warrior princess costume and a knock-off of Michael Jackson's red “Beat It” jacket. , and found a black velvet skirt for a sassy witch costume. To add a country vibe to this random clothing combination, she made her own outfit look like a messy pile in her closet by wearing her red snakeskin cowboy boots.
Blake Shelton was just a guy with a rich girl in rags
If there's one thing we know about Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, it's that they show up to events wearing fishnet stockings, heels, blue jeans, boots, and button-down shirts. (We'll leave it up to you to decide who's wearing what.) But Stefani had Shelton wear a blazer to dress up his usual red carpet uniform, and she wore a feather-shaped piece of fabric. He appeared to be wearing a coat covered with scraps. Perhaps she was bored on her farm and cut up scraps of cloth for her husband's work.
Kane Brown's pinstripes and ink weren't in sync
Perhaps Kane Brown should have asked his famous friends for fashion advice. Instead, the Entertainer of the Year nominee recreated a tragic Donald Trump costume by rocking slacks that were bigger than the presidential candidate's ego. Brown also decided not to wear a dress shirt under a white pinstripe blazer that showed off his tattoos. Unfortunately, the muddy appearance of his ink was out of proportion to the clean lines of his coat.
