The Academy of Country Music Awards—not to be confused with the Country Music Awards, like I did for thirty minutes this morning—took place Sunday night in the country music capital of Las Vegas, Nevada. The looks were sparkly in a way that screamed “We’re on the Strip!” but also “Reba is here!” Let’s talk about them, kicking things off with Florida Georgia Line and their Florida Georgia wives, pictured above.
Tyler Hubbard rocked our first (and certainly not least) cowboy hat of the evening, as well as a plush, sky blue Missoni suit. Brian Kelley wore a custom, dark Denimcratic suit. Needs more yeehaw, if you ask me.

Carrie Underwood shined bright like a diamond, or many diamonds, thousands of diamonds, in a Nicolas Jebran dress. Chrissy Metz’s sequins-on-sequins gets a yes-on-yes from me, and how dare anyone mistake Kelly Clarkson for a seat filler in this black Alexander McQueen gown?

Finally, some color: Lady Antebellum fits scream “Spring break, bitch!” Hillary Scott rocked Missoni; Charles Kelley looked dapper in Alexander McQueen and Dave Haywood broke out the Prada. Kacey Musgraves is always the best dressed person in every room, and this sunset-rainbow-pastel-blush flared suit is absolutely no exception. Harry Styles is shaking. Maren Morris looked sweet in a lavender mini-dress with an exaggerated train.

Chris Stapleton and his wife brought the Southwest goth goods; Nicole Kidman, her Christopher Kane dress, and Keith Urban were a happy throuple; Brandi Carlile’s beaded blazer is art.
