The biggest names in country music arrived in Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday for the 2023 CMA Awards – which meant there were some incredible looks on the red carpet.
Held at the city's Bridgestone Arena, the likes of Lainey Wilson, Carly Pearce, Nicole Kidman, and so many more turned up to the star-studded event – dubbed 'country music's biggest night' – to witness unforgettable solo performances, never-before-seen collaborations, and special tributes.
But before they sat down to enjoy the show, they served up some show-stopping fashion moments that certainly beat the red carpet looks from last year. While there were a few who opted for multi-colored ensembles, the most popular hues of the evening were black and red, and of course, there were plenty of sequins too.
Take a look at some of the most stylish red carpet arrivals below…
