Shania Twain stuns at the 15th Annual Academy Of Country Music Honors in Nashville

Shania Twain saddled up for a night of music and worthy recognition at the 15th Annual Academy Of Country Music Honors in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday.

The 56-year-old country queen, rocking a leopard print cowboy hat, strolled the red carpet in plunging black velvet gown with dramatic train.

She was joined at the annual ceremony at Ryman Auditorium by the likes of Kelsea Ballerini and pop punk singer Avril Lavigne.

Twain’s show-stopping dress trailed behind her as she showcased her enviably fit frame and ample bust for the cameras.

Layered beneath the garment was a rust toned bralette and she added some drama with a pair of arm-length black velvet gloves

Twain curled honey toned tresses flowed out from under her wild cowboy hat and brushed the top of her shoulders.

The You’re Still The One singer accessorized with a pair of dazzling diamond drop earrings and a sparkly emerald statement ring.

Keeping her hat in mind, Twain slipped her feet into a pair of sexy leopard print knee-high boots.

As for makeup, Twain – who reigns supreme as the best-selling female artist in country music history – rocked a smokey brown eyeshadow look topped with champagne shimmer.

Her pout was painted a glossy nude shade and her ageless visage was sculpted with a soft application of contouring and bronzing powders.

Kelsea Ballerini sparkled as she arrived to the annual shindig in a skintight white floor-length gown covered in iridescent rhinestones.

The country cutie’s getup had a chic mock neck and a mermaid-style train.

Keeping her dress the focus, Ballerini’s golden blonde hair was styled in a messy low bun and she sported a pair of diamond stud earrings.

The Roses hitmaker gave herself a sultry gaze with a soft blend of brown and bronze shadows paired with a glossy pink lip.

Avril Lavigne showed off her wild side in a spiked leather jacket with leopard sleeves and matching hood.

The Complicated singer completed the look with a matching pleated leopard mini skirt and black combat boots.

Her bleached blonde hair, which was dip dyed orange, flowed down her chest in messy waves and she rocked a bold black smokey eye.

Miranda Lambert put her tanned and toned legs on display in a bright orange blazer and matching skirt upon her arrival to the award show.

The Little Red Wagon hitmaker was joined by her hunky husband Brendan McLoughlin, who looked dapper in a black suit and a maroon tie.

Trace Adkins cozied up to his wife Victoria Pratt during their time on the red carpet.

The country crooner donned a black leather cowboy hat and a blue and white tie-dyed blazer with a black dress shirt and black trousers.

His stunning wife showcased her fit figure in a red lace dress with a thigh-high slit and see-through long sleeves.

Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, and Jimi Westbrook of Little Big Town looked every bit the country super group as they posed beside one another on the red carpet.

Morgan Wallen oozed confidence amid continued attempts to regain the respect of country music listeners after a video of him using the N-word was leaked in February 2021.

Chris Stapleton looked every bit the country star in a cowboy had with turquoise details as he wrapped an arm around his longtime wife Morgane Stapleton.

Mickey Guyton exuded elegance as she strolled the red carpet in a black velvet high-neck gown with a thigh-high slit.

Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay suited up for the evening in complimentary pastel tones.

Lainey Wilson looked like a retro cowgirl in a pair of brown flared spandex pants and a green suede hat styled with a brown satin embroidered blouse.

Carly Pearce stunned in an aqua-toned accordion dress with flowy sleeves and a belted waist.

Tiera Kennedy wowed the crowd as she showcased her toned legs through the slit in her shimmy pink floor-length gown.

Beth Ditto showcased her show-stopping style in a shimmering gold wrap dress that paired nicely with her bold blue eyeshadow and red hair.

Jordan Davis suited up for the occasion in blue plaid as he was joined by wife Kristen O’Connor, who looked beautiful in a colorful ruffled gown.
