Country music now has four award shows with the addition of tonight's (9/28) People's Choice Country Awards. Like the CMT Music Awards, this award show is completely based on fan votes.
The red- carpet is always fun, and a chance for country stars and newcomers to show off their style. Newcomer MaRynn Taylor told me earlier this week that she can't wait to walk the red carpet. She's looking forward to seeing who she bumps into and meets for the first time in the country music community. She also walked red carpets at the CMT Music Awards and the ACM Awards in May. Tonight (9/2*) MaRynn wore a sleek black dress and shined with her excitement and never ending big smile.
Over the years, red carpet looks in country music have had some real moments, and even the guys get into the fashion action now and then. Tim McGraw and his wife Faith Hill walked the recent ACM Honors in Nashville along with two of their daughters, and their black and white matching family outfits made many publication's top stories the next day.
Big stars tend to walk the red carpet in the last ten minutes before the show gets underway, and at each show, fans and media alike can't wait to see what Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini and her beau Chase Stokes, and Blake's wife, Gwen Stefani, will be wearing. Let's be honest: we love Blake, but until he met Gwen, he didn't wear anything but flannel shirts and the color blue. While he dresses better with Stefani by his side, he keeps it simple with a jacket, jeans, and boots.
As we get to once again celebrate country music tonight, we look at some of the red-carpet looks from the first People's Choice Country Awards.
Little Big Town

Karen Fairchild loves fashion and often styles the band herself. This evening, she wears classic black with gold trim while Kimberly shines in a pinkish dress. The guys are wearing sharp jackets in black.
Carly Pearce
Terry Wyatt/ Getty ImagesBravo to Carly for her frilly green dress look on the red carpet. Carly is always styled just right, and her straightened hair is a hot look for her. The matching green shoes are a plus. She even smiles, though she came onto the red carpet at the same time as her ex, Michael Ray, did.
Toby Keith
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesThis country legend, who will receive the Country Icon Award this evening ( 9/28), walked the red carpet early. While you can see the weight he lost during his battle with cancer, Toby looks dashing in his white button-down shirt and classic black jacket. Wearing aviator sunglasses completes the look for the "big dog daddy."
Kelsea Ballerini
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesKelsea is becoming an expert at red carpets, and on tonight's red carpet, she did not disappoint. She wore a short black shimmery dress and matching high heels. Kelsea is so comfortable on the red carpet now, and this is our favorite shot of her as she winks at the photographer.
2023 People's Choice Country Awards - Arrivals - Wynonna Judd
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesHaving walked red carpets for over twenty years, Wynonna is a pro at the pose. She glows in her trademark black outfit. She's getting a special award: the "Country Champion Award." She looks fantastic these days, and with her undeniable smile, she looks at peace and very happy.
Lady A
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesThis trio looks especially cool tonight as Charles Kelley dons a black leather jacket and his new slick long hair. The trio is matching in their black outfits, and Hillary Scott's dress is a hit. Dave Haywood always looks friendly and happy to be there.
Gabby Barrett
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesSometimes Gabby can look downright weird on the red carpet, but tonight (9/28), she has a lovely glow to her, as she holds her pregnant belly in a lovely long black velvet dress. The shiny arm attachment is a little odd but it doesn't look bad with the classic dress.
Lainey Wilson
Terry Wyatt/Getty ImagesThis girl's look has become the new look for many of her faithful followers. Lainey looked her usual fabulous self on the red carpet in mirror bellbottoms and a glittery top, complete with one of her trademark hats.
