Elegance and Glamour Shine at the 2024 CMA Awards
The 2024 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, co-hosted by Carly Pearce and Jordan Davis, provided a memorable evening filled with both style and celebration. The co-hosts, when speaking with Fox News Digital, highlighted the privilege of hosting together and honoring country music legend Alan Jackson as standout moments of the night.
The red carpet was awash with glamour, featuring an array of dazzling outfits that combined traditional country elements with high-fashion sophistication. Lainey Wilson, who not only hosted the event but was also nominated in four categories, caught attention with her ensemble. She chose to pair a sparkling black blazer and hat with sheer pants, adding a modern twist to her cowgirl aesthetic. Fellow nominees Kelsea Ballerini and Kacey Musgraves opted for more traditional glamour, with Ballerini donning a silver gown and Musgraves adorned in a light blue gown embellished with crystals and feathered sleeves.
Additional fashion highlights included Katharine McPhee, who chose a classic black pantsuit for the occasion, while Alana Springsteen shimmered in a sequined black dress with a high slit. Ashley McBryde, nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year, wore a deep maroon gown complete with a dramatic flowing cape.
For numerous attendees, the ceremony doubled as a stylish date night. Noteworthy appearances included Chris Stapleton and his wife Morgane, who coordinated in matching black ensembles, each topped off with Stapleton’s signature cowboy hat. Miranda Lambert, accompanied by her husband Brendan McLoughlin, wore an elegant off-the-shoulder black dress, while McLoughlin mirrored her chic style.
Luke Bryan, in a black suit with white pinstripes, arrived alongside his wife Caroline Boyer, who wore a bright blue sequined gown with floral appliqué details. Kelsea Ballerini was joined by her boyfriend, actor Chase Stokes, adding a touch of Hollywood to the music-filled event. The couple, who have been linked since early 2023, continue to attract attention with their public appearances. In an interview with Women’s Health, Ballerini described their relationship as «a beautiful journey.»
