Last night’s CMA Awards red carpet brought us plenty of glitz, sparkle and glam from some of the biggest stars in country music, but it wouldn’t be a proper awards show without taking a moment to acknowledge some of the boldest style statements of the evening. Besides 10-time host Carrie Underwood‘s head-turning 11 (yes, 11!) outfit changes throughout the evening, there were plenty of other stars that deserve some recognition for their truly, well, statement-making ensembles.
See below for our picks for the wildest, boldest and most daring red carpet looks of this year’s CMA Awards!
