2017 CMA Awards cowgirl magazine

Nashville saw some stars shine bright for the CMA awards for 2017. Some looks on the red carpet wowed while others well… missed the mark (but let’s not focus on that).

Here are our favorite looks from the red carpet on country music’s big night out.

Dustin Lynch looked super snazzy in a well-fitted shiny suite with black trim and slick black boots. Not too mention that dazzling smile. Looking sharp Dusty!

Country music’s favorite couple looked on-point. Sheryl Crow wore a beautiful black one-shoulder sheer dress with lace and ruffle detailing and Tim rocked a leather-look suit jacket with satin lining.

Model Karlie Kloss stole the scene in this bright orange dress. We love the deep v neck cut and high leg slit. #SceneStealer!

John Pardi was absolutely dapper in an embroidered and blinged suite. Western style with a glamorous twist. The grey shirt underneath is the icing on the cake. We applaud you John!

Miranda channeled some Cinderella magic with this icy blue organza gown. The starry detailing and belt are just gorgeous. We doubt her ride will turn into a pumpkin at midnight though.

Brad Paisley and actress wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley looked fantastic. She wore a silver satin high-low gown with some breath-taking diamond jewelry while he sported an all-black suite with subtle black stud detailing on the lapel. This was well planned.

Kimberly Schapman of Little Big Town looked so chic in a velvet strapless dress with gold accents. We just love the simplicity yet it looks so fabulous with her hair. Instead of detracting from her it makes her shine!

Canadian singer Lindsay Ell brought the edge to Nashville with a fiery red dress full of sparkle, glitz, and va-va-voom! We especially like the ear-piece. Way to go bold Lindsay!

Absolute SHOW STOPPER. Carrie looked and sounded like an absolute angel. This performance took our breath away not just because of Carrie but because of how heart-wrenching it was. The dedication to those lost in the Vegas shooting was absolutely heart-breaking. The CMA did a wonderful job with this.
