Kacey Musgraves has never treated country style like a strict dress code. The Grammy-winning singer moves easily between classic Western influences, sleek red carpet glamour and colorful stage looks that feel entirely her own.
Whether she is arriving at an awards show, performing beneath a wall of flames or greeting festival fans in a cowboy hat, Musgraves understands how to create a memorable fashion moment. Here are 10 of her best looks through the years.
Black-and-white drama at the ACM Awards
Musgraves delivered an instant classic at the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards in this fitted black gown. The sculpted white trim framed the strapless neckline and continued down the dress, creating a dramatic silhouette made for a cover photo.
Modern cowgirl style at Coachella
A cowboy hat, simple white tank and dark denim were all Musgraves needed to make a major entrance at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The oversized belt buckle completed a relaxed festival look that still felt unmistakably country.
Casual glamour on the Grammy red carpet
Musgraves paired a fitted white tank with a shimmering floor-length skirt at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The contrast between the understated top and sparkling statement piece made the look feel effortless rather than overly formal.
Timeless elegance at the Grammys
For the 2024 Grammy Awards, Musgraves chose a strapless black gown with a daring thigh-high slit. The clean silhouette and minimal styling allowed the classic look—and Musgraves herself—to command the stage.
A fiery red leather stage look
Musgraves matched the blazing backdrop of her 2022 star-crossed tour in a head-to-toe red leather ensemble. The fitted vest and coordinating pants brought a powerful rock-and-roll edge to her country stage style.
Golden glamour at the CMA Awards
Few looks could compete with the glittering gold gown Musgraves wore to the 2019 CMA Awards. Sheer detailing, sparkling embellishments and layers of feathered fringe turned the red carpet into her own personal runway.
A playful pink statement
Musgraves embraced full-volume glamour in this off-the-shoulder pink minidress while visiting her Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit in 2019. The exaggerated ruffles gave the sweet shade a bold, fashion-forward finish.
A little black dress with country-star attitude
Musgraves put a daring spin on the classic black minidress at the 2023 Americana Music Association Awards. Green woven detailing along the plunging neckline added an unexpected flash of color to the sleek look.
Green fringe made for the stage
This tiered green fringe dress came alive as Musgraves moved across the stage during her 2019 Oh, What a World tour. The rich color and swinging texture captured the playful, dreamlike style associated with that era of her career.
Bold orange from head to toe
Musgraves closed out the collection with one of her brightest performance looks: an orange halter top and coordinating wide-leg pants. Strategic cutouts and a knotted neckline gave the monochromatic outfit a breezy retro feel that looked electric beneath the purple stage lights.
