Miranda Lambert stuns in waist-cinching double denim look in date night with husband at the ACM Awards

Miranda Lambert returned to the Academy of Country Music Awards stage in style in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

The 42-year-old singer skipped the red carpet entirely, but all eyes were on her the moment she stepped on stage to perform her new song “Crisco” during the star-studded ceremony held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Dressed in a sparkling, waist-cinching double denim ensemble, Miranda embraced elevated Western style with a rhinestone-covered cropped shirt and studded mini jean skirt that showed off her toned legs.

She completed the statement-making look with embellished white cowboy boots, a crisp white cowboy hat and dazzling jewelry that shimmered beneath the stage lights.

The country superstar’s performance outfit struck the perfect balance between playful Nashville glamour and classic rodeo chic.

Her matching denim set featured silver embellishments throughout, while the structured silhouette highlighted her waist and gave the look a modern edge. Miranda paired the ensemble with soft blonde waves cascading beneath her cowboy hat and glowing, camera-ready makeup.

Celebrity makeup artist Dee Daly reportedly prepped the singer’s skin using Aeston West products alongside sculpting facial techniques to achieve her luminous complexion for the live broadcast.

As she performed beneath neon lights and in front of an enthusiastic crowd, Miranda looked every inch the country music queen fans have loved for decades.

Although Miranda skipped the traditional arrivals carpet, she was later joined backstage by her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, who coordinated perfectly in an all-black tailored suit.

The couple looked smitten as they posed together during the evening, continuing their long-standing tradition of supporting each other at major career milestones.

Miranda and Brendan first met in November 2018 when the singer performed with the Pistol Annies on Good Morning America, where Brendan was working as an NYPD officer providing security.

Their whirlwind romance quickly blossomed and the pair secretly tied the knot less than three months later at a farm just outside Nashville on January 26, 2019.

Earlier this year, the couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary with a loved-up Instagram tribute.

“Cheers to 7 years @brendanjmcloughlin,” Miranda wrote alongside a carousel of romantic photos.

Brendan has also frequently praised his wife publicly, previously calling her “the most loving, talented and caring person” he has ever met.

Miranda’s stylish performance was not her only big moment of the night.

Later during the ceremony, the Grammy winner changed into a romantic rose-inspired gown as she took to the stage to celebrate Ella Langley’s winning song “Choosin’ Texas,” which Miranda co-wrote.

The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Shania Twain, streamed live on Prime Video from Las Vegas and featured performances and appearances from some of the biggest names in country music.
