The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards took place at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas on Thursday, May 8th, with Reba McEntire returning as the host. And akin to every other year, the red carpet was full of head-turning looks!
Although there were a number of epic looks throughout the evening, the red carpet outfits worn by Nicole Kidman – who was there to support husband Keith Urban as he received the prestigious ‘ACM Triple Crown Award’ – as well as Kelsea Ballerini and Lainey Wilson have lived rent-free in our minds ever since. Check them out below…
The Difference Between Dragging Through Your Day And Feeling Great On Your Feet? These Arch Support Insoles
Nicole Kidman In Monse
The Nine Perfect Strangers actress, 57, wowed in a Monse Fall 2025 outfit, featuring a black leather high neck top and tailored trousers. It seemed like we were back in the noughties for a moment, as the trousers also came complete with a skirt layered on top of it. Is this trend making a comeback?!
It wasn’t just the Oscar-winner's outfit that we couldn’t stop raving about, as her super-long, sleek, straight hairstyle also commanded a lot of attention. Nicole Kidman is in her long, straight hair era and we are here for it!
Kelsea Ballerini In David Koma
Although the 31-year-old "Half of My Hometown" singer didn’t win any of the three awards she was nominated for at this month's ACM Awards – 'Entertainer of the Year,' 'Female Artist of the Year,' and 'Music Event of the Year' for being one of the producers on "Cowboys Cry Too" – much to the dismay of social media, she was sartorially victorious on the red carpet.
The "Peter Pan" artist showed off her incredible figure in a David Koma gown, featuring a glittering sequin flowing skirt with a train and a black peek-a-boo bra layered on top. She wore her hair in an elegant updo, and chose to forgo the jewelry to let the sparkly dress command all of the attention.
Lainey Wilson
The 32-year-old "Heart Like a Truck" country superstar pulled out all the stops with her ACM Awards arrivals red carpet outfit. She rocked an all-black ensemble consisting of her signature flares, and an intricate black lace jacket complete with cutout and floral appliqué detailing and a plunging front, not to mention a floor-sweeping train.
Her accessories were on point too, as she added a statement necklace (in black, of course!) and a fierce black cowboy hat. It was a very successful night for the "Watermelon Moonshine" singer, as she took home the coveted 'Entertainer of the Year' award for the second consecutive year, as well as gongs for 'Female Artist' and 'Album of the Year.' Nice!
