The stars came out to celebrate the best in country music at the 2023 CMT Music Awards hosted at Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Sunday.
Shania Twain, 57, showed off her age-defying physique in a red and black bodysuit with a low-rise matching sarong, featuring a saucy leg slit.
The That Don’t Impress Me Much hitmaker sported strawberry-toned tresses for the event, and added extra height to the look with black platform heels.
Kelsea Ballerini, 29 – who is one of the hosts for the night, along with Kane Brown – wowed in a baby blue corset-style gown with a flowing asymmetrical bottom.
Rapper Megan Thee Stallion, 28, also opted for blue, and looked sensational in a form-hugging vivid high-neck gown with a side cut-out.
Shania opted for picture-perfect glam for the night, wearing black eyeliner, mascara, and pink lipstick.
She will be honored at the ceremony as the third-ever recipient of the CMT Equal Play Award.
The award is given to artists who use their platform to advocate for change and help those underrepresented in country music.
Brown and Ballerini previously co-hosted the show together in 2021 and 2022.
Ballerini wore her blonde tresses parted in the middle and in a straight style for the event.
She accessorized with delicate dangling silver earrings, and drew attention to her mesmerizing hazel eyes with a bronze shade of eyeshadow.
The beauty was accompanied by her beau, Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes, 30.
Stokes showed off his effortlessly cool style in a short-sleeve navy button-up over a white tee, and a matching pair of navy pants, along with black boots.
