Country music’s biggest stars brought bold southern flair and high-fashion glam to the 2025 ACM Awards red carpet in Texas and these 10 looks stole the show.
10 Stars That Stunned On The 2025 ACM Awards Red Carpet
Country music’s biggest night didn’t just bring the heat to the stage, it delivered full glam on the red carpet, too. On Thursday night (May 8), the genre’s top stars flocked to the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas for the 2025 ACM Awards, and they showed up and showed out. From cowboy couture to red carpet glam, it’s safe to say the saying rings true: everything is bigger in Texas.
Massive fandoms tuned in to see their favorite stars strut their stuff, including Kelsea Ballerini, Jelly Roll, Keith Urban, and Dan + Shay. And while everyone brought their A-game, these 9 artists caught our eye and secured a spot on Fandom Daily’s Best Dressed List:
Lainey Wilson
Lainey rocked an all-black ensemble with serious star power. Her tailored jacket featured silver embellishments and a dramatic train that trailed behind her, while her signature black cowboy hat tied the look together in true southern fashion.
Ella Langley
This year’s most-nominated artist proved she’s a fashion force too. Langley turned heads in an animal-print gown with black lace accents and thin straps. She styled her hair in a tousled updo that screamed rocker glam.
Kelsea Ballerini
Kelsea brought modern elegance to the carpet in a sleek, two-toned gown. The black bodice and champagne sequined skirt were total opposites and it worked. Plus, her real-life leading man Chase Stokes was by her side, making it a total moment.
Megan Moroney
Megan channeled Kelsea Ballerini’s album cover for Subject To Change. She stunned in a flowing yellow gown. The color popped on the carpet, and her confidence made the whole look shine even brighter.
Reba McEntire
Our legendary host Reba reminded everyone why she’s a red carpet queen. The country icon shimmered in a black beaded top and matching blazer, pairing it with sleek black pants. Classy, commanding, and totally Reba.
Jessie Murph
Jessie didn’t come alone… she brought her pig Wilbur as her red carpet plus one. Yes, they matched. Dressed in coordinating pink, the duo brought unexpected cuteness and totally won the internet.
Riley Green
Riley may have kept it simple in a charcoal suit and brown cowboy hat, but his classic cowboy swagger did all the talking. Sometimes less is more, especially when you look like that.
Shaboozey
Fresh off his viral Met Gala appearance, Shaboozey did it again. The “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” hitmaker brought edge to the ACM carpet in a slick leather suit, proving he’s not just dominating the charts, he’s dominating the fashion scene too.
Ashley Cooke
Ashley turned heads in a fiery red dress featuring a sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit that brought just the right amount of heat. Flirty, bold, and totally fitting for the breakout star.
