The CMA Awards 2022 event recently happened, and of course, plenty of eyes were watching the show’s red carpet to see who the best-dressed stars for the event were. Throwbacks for past fashion themes were popular that night, and so was showing a good amount of skin. As far as the color palette is concerned, denim blue and basic white were popular choices for the stars.

We are sure you’re already dying to learn who were the best-dressed stars during the latest Country Music Association Awards. So, without further delays, here are our seven best-dressed stars (in no particular order) for the 56th annual CMA Awards event. 

Ingrid Andress

This year, Ingrid Andress had no fear whatsoever of showing more skin. She wore a bikini-style top paired with a glittering long skirt. The star didn’t sweat at all when pulling off the daring look. 

It could be because of her irresistible smokey eyes or her confidence on the red carpet. Regardless of the reason, Andress successfully shows viewers the true meaning of the phrase “less is more.” 

Danielle Bradbery 

Danielle Bradbery confused people if they were watching the Oscars or the CMA awards with her immaculate-looking outfit. Danielle stunned everyone when she arrived in a highly flattering and draping white gown. 

The country star also complemented her stunning outfit with a high bun and simple makeup. The entire dress screams, “Please Remember Me,” and Danielle can rest assured that we will.

Lindsay Ell 

Lindsay Ell arrived in a well-thought-out risque animal print gown. The dress came with a V-neckline and a high slit that showed off her legs. Her entire look was a huge win. Incidentally, her outfit twinned with the gown of Luke Bryan’s wife. 

Elle King 

Elle King is among the more notable stars on our CMA Awards 2022 Best Dressed list and one of the few that went for the autumnal shade of colors for their dress. She came in with a dress with the perfect pumpkin spice vibe. 

King complimented her dress with champagne-colored bowed platform shoes. Her outfit was a breath of fresh air during that night, and we loved her for it.  

Kelsea Ballerini 

Kelsea Ballerini also stood out by doing her own thing for her CMA Awards outfit. She arrived on the event’s red carpet wearing a stunning, sleek, stylish aqua gown. The gown had an open back and came with built-in gloves, Kim Kardashian style. 

Kelsea’s outfit this year is one that many of us will continue to discuss in the future. It’s far from what many of us expect the country diva will wear at these red-carpet events. 

Katy Perry 

In this year’s CMA Awards, Katy Perry might have thought of Britney Spears when planning her dress. The American Idol judge wore a denim-inspired dress that reminded fans of the princess of pop. 

With that said, Perry must have a thing for the denim theme because this is the second red-carpet event where she sported a denim-inspired look. Whatever the case, many of us are on board with her choice because why not? The music superstar looks fab in them.

Carrie Underwood

Of course, our list will only be complete if we include Carrie Underwood. Why? Well, her outfits during these red carpet events are always on point.

Incidentally, her outfit also reminded us of Britney Spears. It looks like Britney’s fashion is on the radar this year. That said, none of us are complaining.

Underwood’s dress is a modern take on an all-blue iconic look. The dress featured a plunging neckline, matching pumps, thigh-high slit, and cascading shreds of materials on the skirt.

So there you have it; these are our seven picks for the CMA Awards 2022 Best Dressed stars. They were the ones that truly stood out for us and wore outfits that we considered well-thought-out, on-point, and memorable.
