This year’s annual CMT Music Awards honored some of the most talented stars in the country music industry! Although the country industry doesn’t necessarily have a reputation for stellar red carpet moments, this year’s CMT awards have proved differently. There were quite a few head-turning fashion moments this year that are worthy of note, so follow along for 12 of the best dressed country stars from this year’s CMT Awards:

12. Charles Esten

Charles Esten is such a stud that it doesn’t take much for him to look dapper! He stepped out at this year’s CMT Awards wearing a sleek black tuxedo that was classic and traditional. Often the men in the country industry tend to dress up in tacky bedazzled jackets or oversized cowboy hats, but Esten proved that it doesn’t require all that embellishment to stand out on the red carpet.

11. Chrissy Metz

Sequins are a tricky trend to pull off on the red carpet, but Chrissy Metz did so flawlessly. The This Is Us star rocked a mid-length sequined dress with a subtle fringe along the hemline. Typically sequins come across tacky when it’s in a bold color, so the neutral choice of black was perfect for a classy red carpet moment.

Her sister, Lennon, rocked a flowy white chiffon top and a black mini skirt which was super sophisticated, but she balanced it with bohemian beach waves in her hair.
