CMAs 2024: The Sparkles, the Spangles, the Feathers, and the Hats

Kacey Musgraves

This makes her look like she lives in the Land of Make Believe on Mr Rogers but honestly that is one of the biggest compliments I can bestow on a person.

Marcus King and Briley King

And SHE looks like she was styled by Miss Piggy, which is ALSO one of the greatest compliments I can pay. Miss Piggy is a QUEEN and a fashion ICON.

Brittney Boston

I love this pic. The vibe is like, "CHECK OUT THESE SLEEEEEEVES!!"

The 58th Annual CMA Awards - Arrivals

Don't worry, she was there with Chase Stokes and they hung all over each other as usual. That just made it hard to see her dress. I like it -- although the open sides feel a little unfinished to me.

Simone Biles

Simone looks great and I think her makeup is fabulous here.

Moriah Smallbone

At first, I thought her hat lit up around the brim but I think it's actually gold. Either way: This is a good event at which to wear a notable hat. Moriah hails from a part of Southern California where I have many family members, so I root for her!

Niko Moon and Anna Moon

This looks like a photo between two people who went to high school together and who ran into each other in the hotel lobby of a high end tropical resort.

Jeffrey Travis Myatt and Kassi Ashton

More people should wear sparkly hoods and/or plaid three-piece suits to award shows.

Billy Bob Thornton

BBT wants YOU for the US Army!

Pierre Wilson

This is, to me, perfect. So elegant and right for this party.

Lainey Wilson and Devlin Hodges

If you're in Nashville, definitely check out this coven meeting!!

Molly Tuttle

I might have gone for a slightly stronger lip, but this dress is great.

Jenee Fleenor

I think this is fabulous and wish more people went this direction for these country events. All her turquoise is GREAT.

Raiche Wright and Teddy Swims

I'm also here for more dramatic ponchos!

All of these Nudie suits are great.

And all of THESE suits are ALSO great! That cactus tie? AMAZING.

Rachel Smith

This is very cute and, as a bonus, will also be perfect for New Year's Eve.

Danae Hays

That blazer is rad.

Julie Williams

PERFECT for throwing a drink at someone.

Karley Scott Collins

And she'll throw one right back!

Chapel Hart

I always say this about these women because it's always true: They look like the tablemates you want to find yourself assigned to sit with at a wedding. These women always look fun.

Frank Ray

Speaking of fun! SNAZZY.

The War And Treaty

She looks fantastic, although I always have to do a double take with shoes like that. I always think they're ankle weights!

Mitchell Tenpenny and Meghan Patrick

Finally, some fringe!
