We love seeing country couture on the red carpet at the ACM Awards. And now that the trophies have been handed out, it's time to see who wowed and who left us wanting more in terms of style. First up? The reigning best dressed country star, Kacey Musgraves! Kacey did it again: The beauty donned this dreamy rainbow suit by Christian Cowan for the big night, paying homage to her hit single "Rainbow" in the process. We absolutely adored this lovely hued getup and the way she opted to go sans undershirt to make a style statement. Next up, a better look at her jacket's phenomenal sleeves and more of the best and worst dressed celebs at the 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards…

Long, loose waves were the perfect complement to Kacey Musgraves' gorgeous getup. Completing her A+ look? Rosy-hued eyeshadow and a perfect pink lip.

Yikes! Our least favorite look of the night award goes to Carrie Underwood, who donned this unfortunate gunmetal gray frock. With one full sleeve, a chunky detail around the waist and that bizarre thin flap of fabric down the front, we can't decide what the worst part of this Nicolas Jebran dress was. But at least those shoes are killer. Next up? Her equally disappointing hair and makeup.
The early '00s called, Carrie Underwood — they want this hairstyle back. The country superstar sported a dated bouffant half-up, half-down look paired with a smoky eye and a pink lip for a seriously underwhelming beauty look.
Miranda Lambert looked fabulous in neon green. The star wore this fitted halter-style gown that featured a slinky cut and a small train for a little bit of added glam.
Is it a minidress? Is it gown? Depending upon the angle, Maren Morris's lavender Christian Siriano gown looked like an entirely different dress. One small problem? We didn't like either variety. From the front, Maren's gown was a mini with a massive fan-detailed neckline. From the back, there was a thick train pulling double duty as a half-skirt. Let's see this one from another perspective…
From the back, Maren Morris's custom Christian Siriano gown looked like it had a full ballgown skirt. If only! Though that would have been an improvement on this funky frock, it was just an illusion. Though we hated the gown, we were fans of her beauty look…
Maren Morris rocked a pretty lavender shade on her eyelids that matched her gown and the perfect pink lip to complement the feminine vibe of her ensemble.
Luke Bryan was golden on the ACM Awards red carpet! We loved his gold Tom Ford suit jacket with its subtle print and the way he rocked an off-white dress shirt underneath with black pants and boots.
Kelly Clarkson certainly brought the glam to the ACM Awards red carpet in this black Alexander McQueen design. We adored all the pretty lace elements — from the lace panel down the bodice to the lacy sleeves and peeks of lace down the skirt. Bravo, Kelly!
We love the way Maddie and Tae's looks always complement each other in all the right ways. Maddie kept things cool in this sleek bronze-hued suit sans shirt and added fun red accessories in the form of her shoes and clutch. And Tae picked up the red element and rocked this darling multicolored minidress with a pair of gold heels.
When she struck a pose, Reba McEntire's maroon gown looked kind of boring. And the layers of necklaces and those busy cowboy boots weren't helping matters. But when she moved, the dress came alive…
Check out that fringe! Though we still aren't crazy about Reba McEntire's eclectic getup, we have to admit that once she showed off the movement of that fringe, the outfit made a lot more sense.
Kane Brown is one of our favorite country stars to catch on a red carpet and his ACM Awards look revealed why! He rocked this cool three-piece suit sans tie and completed his sharp ensemble with killer dress shoes.
We're used to Nicole Kidman wowing us in the fashion department, but this look was anything but amazing. From the billowy black lace sleeves to the lacy bodice and sparkly skirt, this lingerie-inspired Christopher Kane frock really fell flat.
Nicole Kidman did at least rock some some great shoes — funky black-and-silver Alexandre Birman heels that featured a tie detail around the ankle and a black bow at the toe.
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott went with this lovely Missoni number comprised of stripes in black and various shades of pink. We liked this multicolored look, and the way she rocked her hair in loose, pretty waves.
Chase Rice sure looked sharp in this gray printed suit. He accessorized with black loafers and a black skinny tie, but the most fun part of his ensemble was a little secret feature we'll see next…
Printed inside the back of Chase Rice's collar? The name of his hit single, "Eyes on You."
Like most "The Bachelor" fans, we weren't sure Cassie Randolph was the right pick for Colton Underwood. But there's one thing we are sure of… this dress was the wrong pick for Cassie! The reality TV star donned this silver-and-black frock that featured silver fringe detailing on one side of the neckline and one half of the skirt. In a sea of gowns with asymmetrical detailing at the ACM Awards, this one really fell flat and landed among the misses.
Thomas Rhett looked dapper in this all-black ensemble. We loved that black suit with the funky geometric print and the way he added a subtle black bow tie. He finished off his look with shiny dress shoes, but his best accessory was his arm candy for the night… his adorable wife, Lauren Akins!
Look what God gave her! Thomas Rhett's wife and muse Lauren Akins matched in this equally cool all-black getup, though hers had a subtle floral print instead of geometric shapes. Her ensemble was comprised of a crop top, black cropped trousers and a suit jacket over top. She completed the look with simple strappy sandals. Equally killer? Her hair and makeup…
Lauren Akins rocked some killer messy waves on the ACM Awards red carpet. She balanced out the wild hair with a perfect red lip.
Almost but not quite, Scotty McCreery! The top half of his ACM Awards look was on-point — from the unexpected blush-hued tuxedo jacket with black lapels to the skinny tie — but the bottom half? Not so much! The country crooner completed his look with a pair of jeans and black boots, making for a head-scratcher of a combination.
From one former "American Idol" star to another! We loved Lauren Alaina's black-and-white gown. From the plunging neckline to that glam black bow tied around her waist to the pretty ruffled tiers cascading to the floor, this look was A+!
Another jeans-on-the-red-carpet offender? Justin Moore, who donned light denim with snakeskin cowboy boots below and an unbuttoned white dress shirt and ill-fitted suit jacket up top for a mess of a gray carpet look. He topped everything off with a white cowboy hat.
"This Is Us" star Chrissy Metz embraced that the ACM Awards take place in Las Vegas and really brought the sparkle in a fun, short-sleeved frock by Luxurious Roxy. Chrissy finished off her ensemble with silver Stuart Weitzman heels.
We loved the adorable heart print of Jessie James Decker's minidress, but we weren't crazy about the cut. From the one long sleeve to the daringly low cut on the other side and the short asymmetrical hemline, we wish there had been more to this sweet little design. Scoring some bonus points? The pearl-studded belt detail and the way she added that cute red clutch. And even though we were torn on her dress, we loved her hair and makeup…
A stellar beauty look! Jessie James Decker rocked a high ponytail, perfect warm-hued eyeshadow and an ideal red lip for the occasion.
Dustin Lynch excelled at that fashionable cowboy vibe in a sleek bronze suit with a white dress shirt. Aside from the unexpected, cool color choice, he also scored a hit by topping things off with a cowboy hat and ending them with equally cool cowboy boots.
Cassadee Pope gave us some serious mummy-wrapped vibes on the ACM Awards red carpet. We weren't into her white ensemble — a Vitor Zerbinato dress that featured too many cut-outs and asymmetrical details for our liking. Next up, this mess of a dress from another angle…
Cassadee Pope's white frock featured a nearly entirely open side above a major ruffled detail at the hip. And if that wasn't enough, that thick slit up the side made matters worse. Despite the unfortunate dress, those white Loriblu pumps were pretty amazing!
AJ McLean goes country! The Backstreet Boys member fit right in with the country crowd in this sleek all-black look topped with a wide-brimmed hat. But the best part of his outfit? Those shoes! He completed his ensemble with some amazing cheetah-print boots.
We weren't crazy about Lindsay Ell's look. Though we loved the neon hue, the halter neckline coupled with that strange slanted slit down the bodice lost us. The platform silver pumps didn't help matters either, cementing this look as a miss.
Morgan Evans kept things fresh and spring-ready in this baby blue suit! We loved the refreshing color, and the way he complemented the light suit with a white T-shirt and sneakers.
Former "The Bachelor" star Lauren Bushnell looked like a vision in red at the ACM Awards. The star donned this sweet little one-shouldered number, which featured a fun asymmetrical neckline and a sky-high slit up the right side, putting her pins on display in those silver sandals.
What exactly is going on here, Cam? The singer landed among the misses after donning this oversized white dress shirt with a strange printed crop-top overlay. Finishing off the look? A black hat and a pair of wide-legged black pants that completely obscured her shoes. Next!
Mickey Guyton arrived at the ACM Awards in this divine pale blue lace number. From the long sleeves to the high neckline and flowing skirt, we loved this romantic stunner of a dress.
Nancy O'Dell went with a sleek black-and-white combo, a jumpsuit that started out stark white at the top with pretty cape sleeves and turned to black below the bust, flowing into those awesome wide-legged pants.
