Last night, the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The annual awards show honoured leading talent in country music, and also featured a number of elegant sartorial statements on the star-studded red carpet. From Carrie Underwood to Kacey Musgraves, here’s a closer look at the best dressed stars from the evening.

Carrie Underwood

The 33-year-old Smoke Break songstress looked like the ultimate blonde bombshell in a sleeveless metallic gown which was detailed with intricate beadwork. The luminous golden creation highlighted her shapely and toned figure, while the illusion neckline and sheer hem added a subtly seductive finishing touch.

Miranda Lambert

In true Hollywood form, the 32-year-old singer-songwriter emphasized her curves in a sultry and sunny yellow number. Her brightly coloured frock was accented with a plunging deep V-neckline, softly pleated trailing hemline and thigh-high slit on one leg. Lambert accessorized her look with a statement necklace which featured a brilliant blue stone and delicate chain.

Kacey Musgraves

The 27-year-old songbird may be known for her song Miserable, but she looked absolutely radiant and chic on the red carpet! Musgraves channeled gothic glamour last night, as she stunned in a sleeveless black gown with a flowing mermaid hem. With its deep neckline, curve-enhancing silhouette and bandeau top detail, the vampy dress was a truly sophisticated look for the dark-haired beauty.
