How Kacey Musgraves' fashion has evolved over the years, from jeans to daring gowns

One of her earliest appearances was in 2013 at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City.

She wore red jeans, brown cowboy boots, and a denim button-up shirt for the occasion, creating a casual and classic country look.

Musgraves then accessorized with gold hoop earrings, a silver nose ring, and an assortment of bangles.

When Musgraves walked the red carpet at the 2014 CMA Awards, she was photographed wearing a pink, short-sleeved gown designed by Oscar de la Renta.

It had mesh paneling across the neckline and silver sparkles decorating the gown from top to bottom.

However, it was the musician's sky-high hair that stole the show. She wore a '60s-inspired beehive with modern highlights — a style that became her go-to that year.

The outfit she wore to perform at Stagecoach that year is just one example.

For the concert, she wore an American flag bralette, a fringe miniskirt, and blue bedazzled cowboy boots. Her accessories included sparkling tights, oversize hoop earrings, and statement red sunglasses.

It was relaxed, casual, and patriotic — as were many of her ensembles in 2015.

Her former aesthetic was on display at the 2016 CMA Awards, where she wore a custom Christian Siriano ballgown.

The lavender dress was strapless, crafted from tiers of tulle, and completed with a black waistband.

To contrast its elegance, Musgraves wore it with smoky eye makeup and deep-purple lipstick.

Musgraves has been wearing designer ensembles since the start of her career. But she took things to another level in 2018, specifically at the CMA Awards.

She walked the red carpet that year in black trousers and a mesh blouse designed by Versace.

The Western-inspired top had only a single button, creating a deep slit in the shirt's center. It was also embellished with gold Swarovski crystals across its sleeves, shoulders, and chest.

You couldn't miss her when she walked the red carpet at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards.

Valentino designed her purple minidress, which was sleeveless, ruched, and complementary to her massive feathered hat.

And the look didn't stop there. She wore see-through sandal heels and red leather gloves that extended over her elbows.

The outfit was bold, fashion-forward, and, most importantly, true to Musgraves' vibrant personality.

She wore all three at once for the 2023 Grammy Awards.

Her Valentino ensemble included a baby-pink catsuit beneath a floor-length feathered cape and pink satin heels that matched both pieces.

Musgraves perfected the look with rosy-pink makeup, an updo, and minimal jewelry.

Returning to her Western-style roots, Musgraves attended the 2024 CMA Awards in a denim minidress.

It was designed by Georges Hobeika to feature a sweetheart neckline, feathered sleeves, and teardrop crystals.

At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Musgraves walked the red carpet in a Ralph Lauren ensemble that was simple up top and party at the bottom.

The outfit comprised a white tank top tucked into a gold fringe skirt that reached the floor. She also wore a thick silver belt and dangling earrings.

Just look at the black Tanner Fletcher gown that made Musgraves one of the best-dressed at the 2025 ACM Awards.

The strapless design featured white ruffled lace across its neckline and matching lace swirls down its bodice.

She wore it with black pumps, diamond and pearl jewelry, and a vintage-inspired hairstyle.
