See what stars are wearing to celebrate country music’s biggest night

The 2024 CMA Awards will serve as a stage for some of country music’s most spectacular bands.

With Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson co-hosting the event, this year’s awards show promises a series of standout sartorial moments. Ahead of the annual bash, which will feature country musicians like Jelly Roll, Shaboozey and Kelsea Ballerini, the stars will show off their dazzling looks on the red carpet outside Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

In 2007, 17-year-old Taylor Swift, who took home the award for Entertainer of the Year, looked dreamy in a shiny gold dress. Canadian country sensation Shania Twain wore a figure-hugging spaghetti strap dress with silver accents to the 2003 awards ceremony, while the Chicks put on a sparkling show in coordinating beaded ensembles at the 2000 ceremony.
