Miranda Lambert made a striking return to the Academy of Country Music Awards stage in Las Vegas on Sunday night, performing her new song 'Crisco' in a sparkling double denim ensemble. The 42-year-old singer skipped the red carpet but captivated the audience at the MGM Grand Garden Arena with a rhinestone-covered cropped shirt and studded mini jean skirt, paired with embellished white cowboy boots and a crisp white hat.
Her outfit, described as a blend of playful Nashville glamour and rodeo chic, featured silver embellishments and a structured silhouette that accentuated her waist. Makeup artist Dee Daly reportedly used Aeston West products and sculpting techniques to achieve Lambert's luminous complexion for the live broadcast.
Later in the evening, Lambert changed into a rose-inspired gown to join Ella Langley on stage, celebrating Langley's winning song 'Choosin’ Texas', which Lambert co-wrote. The 61st ACM Awards, hosted by Shania Twain, streamed live on Prime Video.
Lambert was joined backstage by her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, who wore an all-black tailored suit. The couple, who met in 2018 when Lambert performed on Good Morning America and McLoughlin was providing security as an NYPD officer, married in January 2019. They recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary.
