These Country Music Awards looks deserve some sugar.
Country music’s biggest night is hardly a stranger to drop dead gorgeous fashion. Indeed, for decades superstars of the genre and beyond have arrived looking runway ready. Take, for instance, when Beyoncé served real-life angel in a floor-length sheer gown and huge Victorian-style sleeves while performing “Daddy Lessons” alongside The Chicks during the 2016 ceremony.
Or when Taylor Swift looked like the belle of the ball at her first CMAs in 2007, where she arrived on the red carpet in golden dress that seem to invoke the iconic Beauty and the Beast dress.
And then more recently, Kelsea Ballerini—who is up for Female Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year at the Nov. 20 ceremony—pulled up to last year’s CMAs as Barbie-coded as could be. Dressed in a pink Christian Siriano gown, the “Dibs” singer channeled Margot Robbie’s iconic character with flowing blonde locks, a red lip and of course her very own Ken—a.k.a. boyfriend Chase Stokes—on her arm.
