CMA Awards 2023 Best Dressed List
Our editorial team chose the best outfits for this year’s CMA Awards red carpet. See our picks below!
Lainey Wilson
Wilson came dressed for her big wins in equally big ruffles, which were attached to a black jumpsuit to create the ultimate pair of bell bottoms (get it?). Her capital-S statement necklace and earrings and classic black cowboy hat gave country glam to its fullest.
Kelsea Ballerini
Ballerini paired one of the night's many red lips with not red but pink, choosing a satin one-shoulder gown with a slit that showed off her bow-accented heels. The Valentine’s Day aesthetic was amplified by her date, boyfriend Chase Stokes.
Brothers Osborne
A bedazzled jacket is almost always a win, and T.J. Osborne made sure his popped by opting for a black shirt and pants. John kept the black pants but went with a powder blue jacket, white shirt and turquoise necklace.
Megan Moroney
Rising star Moroney hit the red carpet in a full ball gown in one of fall's trending colors (cherry red, btw) complete with some diamonds and a red lip for a superstar serve. She looks better in red, anyway.
K. Michelle
We got another shade of red from K. Michelle, who made a major statement in a draped burgundy gown with a Christmas bow-like train and shoulder detailing. Her sweeping updo showed off the dress and her coordinating tattoos.
Tigirlily Gold
Another duo who are professionals at coordinating without getting matchy-matchy, Kendra Slaubaugh went for edgy Old Hollywood glam with her all-black ensemble, curled bob and red lipstick, which complemented sister Krista’s sequined red pantsuit.
Nicolle Galyon
Galyon has mastered a business-glam moment, pairing her crisp black cropped blazer and pants with a sheer rhinestoned turtleneck and rhinestone heart earrin
Kevin Cahoon
A jacket embroidered with corn designs plus rhinestones? On someone starring in a musical about corn? Done and done and extra points for a belt buckle.
Hailey Whitters
Whitters' EP I'm In Love might have had something to do with her lovestruck look, a dark red gown with voluminous textured sleeves and full-length white gloves accented with a statement pair of heart-shaped earrings.
Honorable mention:
Post Malone's bolo tie and red SOLO cup.
