2016 American Country Countdown Awards: The Best (& Worst!) Red Carpet Looks
The 2016 American Country Countdown Awards took over Inglewood, California, on May 1 and country music’s biggest stars didn’t disappoint when it came to the red carpet.
Here’s what your favorite country music superstars wore, including the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between, on the 2016 American Country Countdown Awards red carpet.
Carrie Underwood took a pretty big fashion risk with her American Country Countdown gown, which featured a sheer bodice and mesh, tiered skirt. The “Something in the Water” singer also opted to change things up with her makeup, ditching the signature nude lip she’s rocked since winning American Idol way back in 2005 and opting for a pop of color.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Terry Crus channeled his inner cowboy when he took to the red carpet at the country awards show. Crus donned his cowboy hat and pulled out a double denim look for his appearance, which he covered with a country music staple: cowboy boots.
Luke Bryan looked seriously dapper when he hit the big country music event. No stranger to a country award or two, this time Bryan opted to pair a denim-esque jacket with a black shirt and black pants for a sophisticated, yet still country, award show look.
Sam Hunt
Sam Hunt, who was one of the leaders when it came to nominations at the 2016 American Country Countdown Awards, kept things casual when he walked the country awards red carpet. Hunt ditched the suit and tie and instead opted for a floral button-up with mauve pants, which he paired with black dress shoes.
Just weeks after giving birth, Jane Kramer stunned in a low-cut, long-sleeved mini. Kramer opted for a blush tone on the American Country Countdown Awards red carpet, which was embellished with silver and hot pink beading and sequins.
Toby Keith was nothing if not a country star in his all-denim ensemble. Keith hit the American Country Countdown Awards in all-denim everything, from his jeans to his jacket. The only thing not made of denim? His staple white cowboy hat and black cowboy boots.
Kelsea Ballerini was pretty in pink on the American Country Countdown red carpet. The “Dibs” singer kept things conservative in her floor-length pink gown, which featured stunning, multi-colored flower embellishments around the waist. The rising country star also had a little fun with her award show ensemble, opting for a thigh high slit to show off her electric blue heels.
Jennifer Nettles opted for a striking gold glitter and white pantsuit when she hit the red carpet. The Sugarland singer seriously changed things up at the Los Angeles country awards show, before shimmering her way onto the stage to open the show with Martina McBride and Cam.
Sara Evans kept things breezy in her satin red carpet dress. The country star paired her look with strappy heels, which perfectly matched the geometric shades of blue featured on the singer’s billowy, long-sleeve dress.
Country cuties Maddie & Tae walked the American Country Countdown Awards red carpet together, proving why they’re the ones to watch in country music. Maddie opted to team her plunging mini-gown with sheer patterned lace ankle tights and sky-high pumps, while Tae donned a pink mini-dress with colorful, strappy sandals.
All black everything! Country music legend Reba McEntire kept things simple when she hit the American Country Countdown Awards. Reba proved she’s still every inch the superstar in her all-black ensemble, made up of a sleeveless top, knee-high suede boots and even matching nail polish.
