2025 Academy of Country Music Awards: See what Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Shaboozey and more stars wore on the red carpet
Country music fans, assemble: The 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards is here. Just like ACM Awards past, the annual ceremony celebrates the best and brightest in the genre, while also dishing up some serious displays of country fashion. Who could forget the bright red asymmetrical dress Taylor Swift wore to the 2009 awards show? What about Carrie Underwood's fringed, floor-length Oscar de la Renta gown from the 2014 ceremony? Hosted for the 18th time by 'Queen of Country' Reba McEntire, the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards will take place at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, and will feature performances from country sensations including Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and LeAnn Rimes. Also in attendance is Keith Urban, who will receive the coveted Triple Crown Award during the show. Country music stars know that the ACM Awards sets the stage for a dazzling red carpet moment. Here are some of the night's unforgettable looks. Jelly Roll kept his ACM Awards attire classic but cool with a black tee, slacks and textured loafers. Pulling the look together was the 'I Am Not Okay' hitmaker's jacket, which featured black lace appliqué and white piping. Lainey Wilson knows how to dress for a special occasion. The country crooner, who embarked on her Whirlwind World Tour earlier this year, wore a black floral-embellished top with a plunging neckline and teardrop-shaped cutouts along the midriff. Wilson finished the look with bell-bottoms and a wide-brimmed hat. Nicole Kidman stays red carpet ready! The Nine Perfect Strangers actress accompanied her country star husband, Keith Urban, to this year's awards show. Urban wore a black velvet suit sans shirt. Kidman sported a structured leather top and black pants with a draped overskirt. Chris Stapleton kept things simple with a black suit and cowboy hat. His wife, Morgane, wore a black gown with a statement neckpiece. Shaboozey stepped out in a coordinating, distressed leather ensemble that featured delicately embroidered details along the collar and pockets. Kelsea Ballerini wore a showstopping sequinned gown with a fitted bodice and mermaid skirt. Megan Moroney put on a stunning display in an asymmetrical yellow gown, which really stood out in the details. Along the sides, the gown was enclosed by beads and sparkly fringe tassels. A sparkly display! Reba McEntire, the host of tonight's awards show, and her boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, wore coordinating looks. The Happy's Place star's ensemble featured intricate black beading along the suit jacket. For finishing touches, McEntire went country-glam with sparkly black over-the-knee boots and a bedazzled belt. It was date night for country music superstar LeAnn Rimes and her husband, Eddie Cibrian. Rimes wore a semi-sheer tulle gown with a corseted bodice, while Cibrian kept things simple in an all-black suit. Backstreet's back ... at the ACM Awards! Boy banders Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, AJ McLean and Brian Littrell of the Backstreet Boys suited up for the occasion. Standing out from the pack was Richardson, with his textured, light gray pinstripe look. Rita Wilson brought the glamour in a silver mesh midi dress. Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town wore a sequinned two-piece, while fellow bandmate Phillip Sweet opted for a brown suede jacket. Married band members Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook, meanwhile, stepped out in complementary looks. Fairchild wore a long-sleeve plum minidress, while Westbrook opted for a suit with a striped jacket. Among the evening's best dressed was Ella Langley, this year's most nominated artist at the ACM Awards. Playing with animal print and texture, the 'You Look Like You Love Me' hitmaker wore a snakeskin-print gown with a rhinestone sash and delicate eyelet lace. Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay wore monochromatic suits. Smyers opted for burnt orange, while Shay wore light purple. Also suited up were Rascal Flatts members Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus. Lead singer Gary LeVox, meanwhile, opted for a textured leather jacket, black pants and a silver wallet chain. Jessie Murph was pretty in pink! The 'Blue Stripes' singer-songwriter wore a coordinating baby pink look: a fringed plunging top with low-rise flare pants. To round out the look? Murph brought Wilbur, her pet pig. Mickey Guyton, a two-time ACM Awards nominee, wore a floor-length column dress covered in delicate silver beading. 'Called Crazy' singer-songwriter Kassi Ashton wore an off-white lace gown with delicate draping and a thigh-high slit. Dasha, a first-time ACM Awards nominee, wore a strapless pale pink gown. Pinstripes, anyone? What Not To singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore stepped out in a gray pinstripe suit with a matching gray cowboy hat. Singer-songwriter Jessie James Decker sparkled in an embellished champagne-colored gown. Wearing a sparkly silver gown with a bustier bodice and thigh-high slit was Morgan Simianer, who famously appeared on Netflix's Cheer. The star cheerleader finished off her look with a cowboy hat and brown cowboy boots. Franklin Jonas, younger brother of Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas, stepped out in an all-black suit with a silver bolo tie.

Her 2024 album "Whirlwind" is nominated on Sunday evening for potential back-to-back wins. The 2024 summer release of the critically-acclaimed album, "Whirlwind", earned the performer her best first-week sales ever as the record debuted at #8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The album features her current Top 5 country radio single '4x4xU,' which is geared up to be her eighth #1 hit. These achievements occurred during a busy 2024, where she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, co-hosted the 58th annual CMA Awards alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, and headlined the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving halftime show as part of The Salvation Army's 134th Red Kettle Campaign. Luke Bryan announces summer 2025 Country Song Came On Tour That success follows her being 2023's ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year, supported by seven No. 1 country hits, including "Watermelon Moonshine" and the double-platinum-certified "Heart Like A Truck." She has also collaborated with established male country stars Cole Swindell ("Never Say Never"), Jelly Roll ("Save Me"), and HARDY ("Wait in the Truck") in a trio of award-winning collaborations. Also growing as a star on silver and television screens, Wilson made her acting debut in season five of Paramount's hit series Yellowstone. She also recorded the Academy Award-shortlisted "Out of Oklahoma" for the 2024-released film "Twisters." Contributing: Taijuan Moorman, USA TODAY
