The 2023 CMT Music Awards are one of country music’s biggest events.
Some ensembles were too glitzy, and some weren’t glitzy enough.
Some featured odd detailing, and others were simply unflattering.
These are some of the memorable misses from one of country’s biggest nights.
Now, why doesn’t someone write a country song about an embarrassing awards-show fashion faux pas?
However, her shapeless black velvet suit didn’t dazzle, nor did it fit the country-glam theme.
She oughta have known better.
Oh, well as she put it, you live, you learn.
Instead, she underwhelmed in a gray number with corset top and sloppy handkerchief hem.
Even her hair and jewelry are a little understated for a flashy country event like this.
She tried to make a statement at the CMT Music Awards and almost succeeded.
Her over-the-knee floral stiletto boots are absolutely to die for.
Her dress, not so much.
She came to the party to shine though in her case, she shone just a little too much.
Ashley’s two-piece ensemble shows an awkward fit, and the glowing green shade is blinding.
Shania’s dress was a miss
No question that man!
Shania Twain still feels like a woman, and she’s still a country music legend.
If only the train weren’t such a long and flowy walking hazard.
The 2023 CMT Music Awards were certainly no exception.
Invited to perform on the show with Carly Pearce, she dazzled from head to almost toe.
She paired gold sequined shorts with a white button-down shirt, black tie and blazer, and fishnet stockings.
Her makeup and pulled-back hair twist were spot-on.
But the big furry boots?
We’re not fans.
A pair of spangled gold or black cowboy boots would have been a better choice.
Though she wasn’t a nominee this year, she still walked the red carpet as an honored guest.
Not even her black satin gloves could make this outfit look citified.
Losing some sparkle
“This is me.
Love it or leave it,” declares Priscilla Block on herwebsite.
Her message of self-acceptance has also made her popular among her fans.
But her smile was more sparkling than her style at the CMT Awards.
Priscilla’s blue gown was too matronly for a young artist, even with the thigh-high slit.
Love her, leave the dress.
