The stars aligned for a night of glamour and country music at the 2023 CMT Music Awards held on Sunday at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas. The red carpet was buzzing with excitement as country music’s biggest names showed off their fashion choices, from cutout gowns to colorful jumpsuits. Let’s take a closer look at the fashion highlights of the night.
One of the most talked-about appearances on the red carpet was by the iconic Shania Twain, who arrived in style wearing a stunning cutout gown with a red wig and abs on full display. The legendary singer received the CMT Equal Play Award for her advocacy in promoting gender equality in music.
Lainey Wilson, who leads this year’s nominations with four nods, including videos of the year and collaborative video of the year for her “Wait In The Truck” video with HARDY, showed off her unique style wearing a colorful jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and metallic studded belt. Wilson’s nominations are a testament to her incredible talent and growing popularity within country music.
Kelsea Ballerini not only co-hosted the night alongside Kane Brown, but she also made her red carpet debut with boyfriend Chase Stokes before hosting duties began. The singer looked stunning in a baby blue corset-style gown with a flowing asymmetrical bottom.
Megan Thee Stallion turned heads on the red carpet wearing a navy blue custom Defaïence gown with cutouts along her hips. Although known for being a rapper, Megan’s appearance at the CMT Music Awards showcases the growing influence of country music and its intersection with other genres.
The night featured a star-studded lineup of performers, including Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani, Carly Pearce, Keith Urban, and Kelsea Ballerini, to name a few. Alanis Morissette also took to the stage to perform “You Oughta Know” with Ingrid Andress, Lainey Wilson, Madeline Edwards, and Morgan Wade.
Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn Brown took home the Video of the Year award for their record-breaking duet “Thank God.” The couple also performed the song live on television for the first time. Meanwhile, wins in other categories included Carrie Underwood for Female Video of the Year and Blake Shelton for Male Video of the Year.
In addition to the awards ceremony itself, this year’s event celebrated the 10th anniversary of CMT’s “Next Women of Country,” featuring performances by Alanis Morissette, Lainey Wilson, Ingrid Andress, Madeline Edwards, and Morgan Wade.
The Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute featured performances by Slash, Billy Gibbons, Chuck Leavell, Cody Johnson, Paul Rodgers and Warren Haynes. LeAnn Rimes and Wynonna Judd served as honorary “Honkettes.”
The 2023 CMT Music Awards were truly a night to remember. From stunning fashion choices to incredible performances by country music’s biggest names and beyond, there was something for everyone at this year’s ceremony.
