The red carpet in Frisco, Texas, transformed into a vibrant showcase of country glamour as music’s biggest stars arrived for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards. The evening was a sartorial celebration, blending classic cowboy charm with high-fashion drama.
Veteran host Reba McEntire set a powerful tone, commanding attention in a sleek black sequined blazer paired with dramatic thigh-high boots. The legendary Wynonna Judd made a striking statement in a dramatic black lace-sleeved ensemble, while Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman presented a picture of coordinated elegance in complementary all-black attire.
Among the newer generation of artists, bold colors and daring silhouettes ruled. Annie Bosko turned heads in a vibrant orange satin gown accented with faux fur and a cowboy hat, and Maggie Antone brought heat in a fiery, sequined red strapless dress. Ella Langley, one of the night’s major winners, captivated onlookers in a curve-hugging mermaid gown, and Carly Pearce shimmered in a dazzling, slitted halter dress.
The mood wasn’t all glitz; many opted for sharp, tailored looks. Artists like Frankie Jonas and Dylan Gossett embodied modern sophistication in well-cut suits, and Jelly Roll kept it cool in an all-black ensemble. Meanwhile, the enduring appeal of classic Western wear was evident, with stars like Cody Johnson and Kaitlin Butts incorporating cowboy hats and boots into their red-carpet-ready outfits.
The evening also featured heartwarming moments, such as Cody and Brandi Johnson’s coordinated beige-and-gray look, which harmoniously complemented the announcement of their growing family. From sleek monochrome to sparkling sequins, the 2025 ACM Awards red carpet proved that country style continues to evolve while staying rooted in its distinctive, spirited identity.
