Country stars made their fashion choices on stage and on the red carpet at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Ella Langley was the top winner with seven trophies in five categories, while Cody Johnson took home two important trophies, including Entertainer of the Year. Other honorees included Riley Green and Parker McCollum. But the looks were also unforgettable among those who made big statements in the night’s performance slots, including Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Rainie Wilson, Thomas Rhett, Jordan Davis, Dan + Shay, Blake Shelton, Zack Top, Tucker Wetmore, Carter Faith, and many more…not to mention the night’s master of costume changes, host Shania Twain.
See who our photographers captured in different locations at night at MGM Grand Garden Arena. (If you missed the two-and-a-half hour show, it will be available to watch on-demand on Prime Video starting Monday.)
