Check out some of the most jaw-dropping looks on this year’s red carpet as all your favorite Country artists arrive at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena for the big night hosted by Luke Bryan.

Russell Dickerson
It's parent's night out for Russell Dickerson and his wife, Kailey. The fan-favorite couple hit the red carpet looking classy as ever in all black with Kailey rocking some bling accents.

Jimmie Allen
Jimmie Allen is confident as ever strutting his stuff down the red carpet with wife, Lexi. The 36-year old was poppin’ in pink with silver rhinestoned boots… clearly his time on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars brought his already-impressive wardrobe game up a notch (who knew that was possible?!)

Old Dominion
The reigning Vocal Group of the Year showed up looking dapper with Matthew Band member Geoff Sprung opted for a white shirt with his suit, but the group aesthetic was still on point.

Carly Pearce
Carly Pearce showed off her slick long longs with a stunning navy dress featuring a knot accent in the middle. The dark look is a fresh look for the 31-year old CMA nominee, but very classy and refreshing.

Chris Young
Chris Young kept things very classy in an all black suit and full beard. We’re looking forward to his big performance of “Famous Friends” with Kane Brown!

Breland
Breland showcased his signature circle specs with a long, dressy-trench coat, buttoned up collared shirt and some neutral boots. Looking good!

Gabby Barrett
Gabby Barrett showed off her true star quality in a turquoise dress with gold detailing over the shoulders and hips. Barrett is one of the top nominees of the night with four nominations.

Lainey Wilson
Lainey Wilson took a walk on the wild side with some animal print bellbottoms and a black printed jacket. Always look forward to seeing what this Country diva will be wearing and she didn't disappoint!

Maddie & Tae
Can someone say green goddesses? Country duo Maddie & Tae dropped jaws in their green gowns. Maddie accessorizing with some black, mesh gloves and Tae with some oversized sleeves.

Luke Bryan
Luke Bryan took some time to walk the red carpet with wife, Caroline, before reporting for his hosting duties for tonight. Luke looked sharp in a textured jacket with wife, Caroline, rocking a lovely black dress embellished with sequin hearts.

Elle King
Elle King is always a welcomed guest on the Country red carpet! She stunned in a white sequin top with sharp black hat and was all smiles as she got ready to enjoy Country music’s biggest night!

Lady A
Lady A was giving us all the dreamy vibes as Hillary looked flawless in a pink, floral gown with Dave in an eggshell suit and Charles looking good in gray.

Ashley McBryde
Ashley McBryde swapped her black leather jacket for a stunning white gown and we can’t get enough of it! This look is everything for our favorite Country badass.

Brittney Spencer is performance ready in this stunning floor-length gown with gold detailing and a headpiece to top it all off. Beautiful!

Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis and his wife, Kristen, took some time away from their two little ones at home to have a classy night and they sure dressed for the occasion.

Thomas Rhett looked handsome as always as he rocked a plum suit for the night’s festivities. All set for his performance and anxious to see if he takes home a trophy — it’s already an exciting night for Rhett!

Kelsea Ballerini and Morgan Evans
This Country couple is radiant as ever in their clean-but black and white ensembles. Especially Kelsea, who is already a 2-time CMA winner tonight.

Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd
Maren and Ryan are absolute stunners! Maren sporting an open white, cape jacket and Ryan in a brown suit, the couple compliments each other perfectly. #goals

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are very on brand with Keith sporting a metallic jacket with some patch and button details, while wife Nicole is classy as ever in a black dress. Love the guitar detailing on Keith’s shirt, very fitting for the guitar mastermind!

Queen Carrie is in the building and sparkle has never looked so good on the red carpet! Looks like she’s serving up some major EOTY vibes if you know what we mean…
