2016 ACM Awards — Best Dressed

There were some stunning looks this season on the red carpet for the ACM Awards. But I have to give major props to the gents this go round; there were so many who were killin’ it this past weekend. Here are all of my faves!

Kimberly Perry

Kimberly is a golden goddess in this nude, long-sleeved gown. All of the golden adorned embellishments are eye-catching!

Kimberly Schlapman

kimberly-schlapman-290

As a huge Project Runway fan, I of course had to include PR & Project Runway All-Stars alum Alexander Pope on this immaculate creation. With the current season of PRAS, the red carpet challenge, Kimberly agreed to wear one of the winning designs. Alexander by far had one of the best looks and this was a well-deserved win.

Maddie & Tae

maddie-tae-290

This duo sure knows how to slay a red carpet! Maddie is donning a fit-and-flare black strapless Lorena Sarbu sweetheart dress, paired with black L.A.M.B. heels. Her styling was by Tiffany Gifford, makeup by Tarryn Feldman, glam by Kristen Carbine, and hair by Meg Boes.

Tae looked beautiful in an all black House of CB Jumpsuit, also wearing stunning L.A.M.B. heels — super sexy!

Lindsay Ell

lindsay-ell-290

Another PR alum on the list, Johnathan Kayne — such a gorgeous look! Full on glam, including hair & makeup, which was by Dover Hair & Makeup.

Kayla Adams

kayla-adams-290

Johnathan Kayne has 2 stunning looks on the ACM red carpet. Kayla is rockin’ this bedazzled mini! She coordinated with her look, Alexis Bittar jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels. Her stylist for this dazzling look was Katy Robbins.

Kacey Musgraves

kacey-musgraves-290

This is one stunning all black look, but what sets it apart from other traditional black looks on the red carpet — the details — the embellished bodice trim, the fit, the texture on the look, just to name a few. Zac Posen did a grand job here! Her other look details were inclusive of —

Savannah Chrisley

What red carpet is complete without a barely there, insanely stunning look. Savannah wins that award here, wearing an ivory sheer, sparkling Amato Couture look. Other look details include —

Dolly Parton

Not sure who Dolly is wearing, but she looks like the country music Queen that she is — royally majestic!

Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman

nicole-kidman-290Keith looks great, not sure of the designer details for his all black look, but Nicole is very much the shining, fashionable star of the duo. But of course as a pair, the 2 look quite lovely! Nicole is wearing a long-sleeve, sheer black Alexander McQueen gown, featuring a sequin unicorn on the front and more animal motifs. She paired with her look, vintage Fred Leighton jewels.

Thomas Rhett & Lauren Gregory

Thomas went a little fun for his suit look, going with a very cool colored choice rather than staples such as black or grey. And Lauren truly was his perfect red carpet match, looking angelic in this minimalist white gown.

2013 American Country Awards — Best Dressed!

So country music has a lot of different award shows — CMAs, The Academy of Country Music Awards, etc. And then of course, we are now into the 4th annual showing of the American Country Awards. I’m not sure where traditional red carpet standouts were — Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kimberly Perry of The Band Perry. But that doesn’t mean that this red carpet wasn’t without it’s shining stars! We had everything from glamfab floor length gowns to sexy mini’s, which fit perfectly for the venue, Vegas baby! So here are my top looks!

American Country Awards 2013 - Arrivals

KELLIE PICKLER: Stunning, heavenly, elegant, yet still being able to look quite sexy in this look — all things I can say about this mint green, bedazzled fringe, couture Badgley Mischka floor length gown. You then add in the plunging deep-V neckline, which is done perfectly and also with a sheer cut-out and jeweled waistband, AMAZING! She just looks great, plain & simple. I also really love the bold silver cuff bracelet.

American Country Awards 2013 - Arrivals

LUKE BRYAN & CAROLINE BOYER: I have to dub this couple the “red carpet season” winners. I think every best dressed list I’ve done, for country music awards, these two have been on it. Since Caroline didn’t rock an LBD, Luke I guess opted for an all black ensemble. But it works and the “no tie” was a great choice. I can never seem to find who Caroline is actually wearing, but as always, she looks gorgeous. This deep-V neckline white floor-length gown with striped sparkled lines is just breathtaking.

American Country Awards 2013 - Arrivals

JAKE OWEN & LACEY BUCHANAN: Jake & Lacey were another stunning duo for the evening. Jake is donning a classic slim-fit tuxe. Well classic with a twist since it’s a navy blue suit. But these country guys sure do know how to find some stunning ladies that dazzle on the red carpet! Lacey looks great in this hip-hugging and deep red bandage floor length gown. I’m not sure, but it looks like Herve Leger by Max Azria. If it’s not then my apologies! Her silver jeweled earrings and bracelet are also perfect touches to complete this sexy and chic look.

Best-Jewel                 JEWEL

It’s a night of LBD domination! Jewel’s sparkly, strapless number, by Jovani, is definitely at the head of hat pack. The sheer lace under the bodice is also stunning. She looks great and I think she just had a baby so that is a double wow. The silver Jacob & Co. jewelry and silver Rupert Sanderson high heels add that extra special dose of needed sparkle as well.

Best-T-Rhett

THOMAS & LAUREN RHETT

Thomas looks great in this slim fit grey suit, but what did I say about LBD domination?? So his wife, Lauren, must have gotten this memo for the evening! This fitted metallic black minidress is so sexy and Lauren is definitely rocking the look.

Best-Sara-Evans                   SARA EVANS

Sara is bringin’ sexy back! I think this is a great & sexy LBD look. The oversized black buckle is the perfect Country addition & accessory also! I also love the oversized gold earings and gold/black little clutch.
