But who is attending? Who looks incredible, and whose styles do we want to steal? These are the best-dressed celebrities from the CMAS 2025.
This post will be updated live.
Country Music Awards 2025 Best Dressed Stars
This is going to be a gathering of some of the most talented and gorgeous celebrities, all dressed to impress. It is a big night for Haley Kalil, better known by her stage name HaleyyBaylee. Together with Lauren Alaina, she will take over the CMA’s TikTok and present fans with the “CMA Awards Backstage Live” experience.
She wowed in a stunning silver-and-black sequinned dress that fit her perfectly!
LeAnn Rimes looked absolutely gorgeous in her gown at the CMAs. The floral detailing and high slit added to the wow factor.
Country singer MaRynn Taylor looked gorgeous in a soft, feminine peach-colored dress.
No best-dressed list would be complete without photos of the lovely host, Lainey Wilson. She was joined by her fiancé, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, who also looked smart. Wilson is nominated for several awards this evening, including the Entertainer of the Year Award, alongside Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Cody Johnson.
Wilson looked absolutely stunning and made a style statement, including a bold cape.
Megan Moroney brought the old school glamor to the red carpet! She stood in a black dress, complete with long black velvet gloves. It’s been a big year for Moroney, and she has been nominated for a slew of awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for “Am I Okay?”
She was also joined by Kenny Chesney, who looked dapper in a classic monochromatic outfit. His black suit and white shirt combination looked great. He chose to leave the buttons undone for a more relaxed and comfortable finish.
Statement Styles
Shaboozey’s outfit was simple, but he pulled it all together with a statement jacket, which really reflected his style.
Andrea Vasquez looks pretty in a bright orange dress. While other stars favor darker, more subtle colors, she stood out on the red carpet.
Keeping It Simple & Classic
Brett Young and his wife, Taylor Mills, kept it simple with classic black outfits, but they both looked gorgeous!
It is a big night for Zach Top, and he dressed the part. He is nominated for multiple awards this evening, including New Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, and Song of the Year for his hit track “I Never Lie.”
He chose to keep his look simple rather than make a style statement, but it works for him, and he looks so happy! Top was also joined by his girlfriend Amelia Taylor, who looked gorgeous in a silver dress.
Grace Van Patten ditched her dress for a black, skintight one-piece.
Musician Ne-Yo, a special guest and presenter at the ceremony, wore an all-black outfit, complete with leather pants and what appears to be a velvet coat. A simple look, but a head-turner, too!
