Lainey Wilson is arguably the best dressed at each and every red carpet, and this time around for the 2024 CMT Music Awards, it looks like she brought the best accessory: her boyfriend, Devlin “Duck” Hodges.
The “Watermelon Moonshine” singer arrived at the 2024 CMT Music Awards hand in hand with Hodges, with the former football star planting a kiss on her cheek as the cameras snapped photos of the two lovebirds.
As for what the country superstar was wearing at the time, she opted for an oh-so shiny look, turning heads in a silver top with an asymmetrical hemline from Superdown, a pair of black bell bottom pants from Area that were studded with silver circles — serving as an ode to her album, Bell Bottom Country — and silver platform heels.
To accessorize, Wilson added a black cowboy hat from Charlie 1 Horse, a vintage bolo-inspired choker from Double D — with silver detailing, of course — and a wide range of silver rings from Minnie Lane Jewelry. While her natural beauty always serves as an accessory as well, the chart-topping superstar opted for some simple yet glowy makeup, as well as some long, blonde, beachy waves to add a boho look to her overall ensemble.
Naturally, Hodges understood the assignment as well, looking dapper in a simple black suit to seemingly let his significant other shine. To match Wilson, he added a black cowboy hat and bolo tie with silver detailing, making their overall outfits look coordinated without being too matchy-matchy.
Is Lainey Wilson Nominated at the CMT Awards?
Alongside Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Kelsea Ballerini and Megan Moroney, Lainey Wilson is up for three trophies at the 2024 CMT Music Awards — Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for “Watermelon Moonshine” and Collaborative Video of the Year for “More Than Friends” with Lukas Nelson + Promise of The Real — tying for the top spot when it comes to nominations.
Taking home her first GRAMMY Award earlier this year for Best Country Album for Bell Bottom Country, will she manage to bring home some CMT Awards as well? Country music lovers can tune into CBS or Paramount+ at 8/7 CT to see for themselves.
