Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
CMA Awards 2025 Kelsea Ballerini red dress

Kelsea Ballerini

The 32-year-old singer, who performed her song "I Sit in Parks" at the ceremony, was one of the most memorable attendees. She was also nominated for 'Female Vocalist of the Year' alongside Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, and Lainey Wilson; and although Lainey, who also hosted the show, took home the award, Kelsea was a winner in our eyes thanks to her stunning red carpet look!

The "Cowboys Cry Too" hitmaker rocked a Christian Siriano strapless horsehair ruffle midi dress, with a daring sheer skirt and rose-reminiscent tulle detailing at the neckline and in the center. She committed fully to the seductive scarlet theme and accessorized with towering red Christian Louboutin heels and a bold red lip. Perfection!

The Christmas in the Caribbean actress, 60, arrived arm in arm with her boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus; and she certainly set tongues wagging with her appearance!

She poured her sensational curves into a long-sleeved red wrap dress, which featured a seriously seductive thigh-high front slit, a plunging front, and additional cutout detailing at the waist. It was a true show-stopper!

She accessorized with metallic silver platform heels and a matching silver bracelet. Her brunette locks were styled in a center-parted voluminous curly down do, complemented by dramatic dark smoky eye makeup, rosy pink blush, and a soft pink lip.

The 26-year-old "Strangers" singer incorporated several major trends in one to deliver one of the best looks of the night. Lace, see-through, seductive red – her look had it all!

The rising American country music singer-songwriter wore a long-sleeved red maxi dress, featuring a high neck and a sheer skirt. She wore her dark hair in a glossy curly down do with bold bangs, and we're obsessed!

Ella wasn't just a red carpet winner, as she was also victorious in the awards department too. Out of her six nominations, she won three categories for her song "You Look Like You Love Me," taking home awards for 'Single of the Year,' 'Song of the Year,' and 'Music Video of the Year.' What an incredible night it must have been for her!
