The Texas native – the “country queen” with “so much swagger” – walked the red carpet in a scene-stealing barely-there dress, which received both praise and criticisms from her fans, one who suggests the singer prefers “trashy to classy.”

On May 17, Reba McEntire hosted the 59th annual American Country Music Awards (ACMA) at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

The show saw performances by hitmakers like Jelly Roll, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Blake Shelton and his ex-wife, the gorgeous Miranda Lambert, who prior to debuting her single, strutted the red carpet in a stunning gown.

Lambert was not nominated this year, but over her storied career, she’s earned 37 ACM Awards, most recently winning video of the year and the prestigious entertainer of the year award at the 2022 ceremonies.

‘Country elegance’
Walking across the red carpet with Brendan McLoughlin, a former cop turned doting partner, the Nashville Star first appeared in a high-slit black dress with a plunging V-neckline. She accentuated the look with a silver belt adorned with light blue embellishments and a chic silver purse. McLoughlin, her husband of five years, matched her elegance in a sleek black suit and tie.

Online fans jumped in, praising Lambert, 40, and McLoughlin – who were married in 2019 after a whirlwind two-month romance – for their spectacular red carpet looks.

One fan writes, “You’re always well put together, Miranda….in country elegance. And Brendan’s suits (loved his boutonnière) complements you too.”

“He is so proud of her. She is gorgeous. Look at those smiles,” a second writes of her adoring husband.
