Lainey Wilson ditched her signature bell-bottoms for the 2026 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Wilson, 33, stunned in a strapless red-orange gown for the Sunday, May 17, awards show in Las Vegas, which she paired with delicate gold drop earrings.
For glam, Wilson had forgone her usual cowboy hat to wear her long blond tresses in loose waves.
The country star, who is up for seven ACM trophies including Entertainer of the Year, wore — if you can believe it — her first dress to her wedding to Devlin “Duck” Hodges earlier this month.

“Feeling royal and confident in my dream dress and veil, made by the incredible Oscar de la Renta team,” Wilson told Vogue. “First time wearing a dress and I caught the perfect breeze to show it off! Shout out to my amazing stylist Ali Mandelkorn for bringing this vision to life with Oscar de la Renta.”
Wilson and Hodges, who accompanied his bride on Sunday night, dated for four years before the former NFL player, 30, popped the question. They tied the knot on May 10 at Tennessee’s Ruskin Cave.

“Duck and I were driving backroads in Tennessee and saw a billboard for The Ruskin Cave,” Wilson recalled of the venue, before Hodges asked if they wanted to exchange vows inside. “I said, ‘Done deal.’ We dropped by, saw the venue, and fell in love with the natural beauty of the cave and the simplicity of the property.”
According to Wilson, their ceremony ended up being a dream come true.
“You could hear the water trickling down and birds singing, and we had a nice spring breeze,” she gushed. “I arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage and walked down the aisle with my Deddy to join Duck at the altar. … I have never seen Duck smile as big as he did then. It made me feel giddy about turning the page into this next chapter of marriage. We were both anxious to say ‘I do!’”
