Keith Urban turned heads this past weekend at the CMAs with a pair of bold fashion choices.
The 58-year-old took the stage to present Entertainer of the Year wearing a sparkly black sheer shirt with nothing underneath, giving a peek at his chest tattoos. He rolled up the sleeves to showcase his arm ink and paired the daring top with black ripped jeans.
Lainey Wilson took home the award, and the duo later performed together during her opening medley of hits. For the performance, the father of two swapped the sheer top for a black T-shirt featuring a vibrant graffiti-style design, keeping the same distressed jeans and slinging a guitar for a full rocker vibe.

Keith Urban Wears See-Through Sparkly Top At The CMAs
The CMAs marked Keith’s first televised performance since his September announcement that he and Nicole Kidman had ended their 19-year marriage.
The internet couldn’t stop talking about his outfit, noting it was a major departure from the more classic red carpet looks he typically wore alongside the A-list actress.
“He looks tacky in that shirt. Sorry, I always find his clothing choices so awful,” wrote one user. Another said, “Maybe he should consider updating his style.” A third commented, “Why does there have to be revenge??” A fifth wrote, “He looks too feminine for me.” A sixth said, “Must wonder what his children think of him.” Another joked, “No revenge until he gets rid of the Ellen hairdo.”
The Oscar winner and the singer announced their separation in September 2025, ending 19 years of marriage, with Kidman filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences. Sources say Urban initiated the split, feeling the marriage had grown distant, while Kidman was reportedly heartbroken and had been trying to salvage the relationship.

Insiders suggest the split had been brewing for some time, strained by their demanding careers and differing lifestyles.
Kidman filed for divorce on September 30, 2025, submitting paperwork that included a parenting plan requesting to be named the primary residential parent of their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
While the reasons for their split are varied, Urban recently found himself at the center of controversy for performing Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” at Mar-a-Lago, the resort owned by Donald Trump and his family. Insiders soon suggested that the incident highlighted tensions in the couple’s marriage, claiming their political differences may have contributed to the breakup.
“That moment showed where Keith stands. Nicole would never step foot in that place, and there is Keith singing and entertaining the crowd, "an insider told Rob Shuter of #ShuterScoop.
