Nashville’s golden girl Kelsea Ballerini arrived at the 2024 ACM Awards, where she stole the show with her style.
On Thursday, May 16, the 30-year-old country singer wore a gold halter turtleneck dress styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Heann and kept it simple with accessories. Ballerini wore her hair in a low bun with one loose strand styled in the front.
For her makeup, the CoverGirl and Pantene healthy hair ambassador’s face glowed thanks to Kelsey Deenihan, who gave her a shimmery eye and bare, glossy lips.
Ballerini — who performed a mash-up of her songs “Mountain with a View” and “Stick Season” with Noah Kahan — is nominated for three ACM awards this year, including female artist of the year and album of the year.

The ballerina and boyfriend Chase Stokes recently brought their striking couples style to the Met Gala on May 6, where she posed in a 3-D floral dress and he next to her blazer (no shirt) and pants, both from the Michael Kors collection.
“I think what we like to do is just complement versus coordinate,” he said Foreign banks star, 31, told PEOPLE about her approach to fashion in an exclusive interview ahead of the event.

The country superstar has been rocking hot styles for months now. In November 2023, she arrived at the CMA Awards in a draped one-shoulder dress from Christian Siriano’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection. The design featured a thigh-high slit and soft pleats at the waist. She completed the look with matching ballerina pink sandals, statement earrings and old Hollywood-inspired red lips.
