Miranda Lambertreigned supreme as a country style queen at the 2022CMA Awards.
On the red carpet, the “Strange” singer, 38, rocked a sleeveless, black and pink vintage Mugler gown from Morphew that featured a silky pink slip dress beneath a lacy black top. She accessorized her look with Aquazzura shoes, a Tyler Ellis clutch and Gismondi 1754 jewelry.
“I am very busy, but it’s good,” she told ABC on the red carpet of her busy schedule. “It’s Scorpio season, my birthday’s tomorrow, so it’s a gift to get to do what I love. And I’ve been doing it for a really long time!”
Elsewhere in the broadcast,Lambert’s stylist Tiffany Gifford, whom she’s worked with since 2010, weighed in on her fashion — and quipped that the star “would rather be doing anything other than try on clothes.”

“I try to make it as painless as possible,” Gifford said of dressing Lambert. “I truthfully, honestly do not know what she’s going to gravitate toward this time, there’s a couple of things being made for her. I always have back-up to the back-up to the back-up. I can’t tell you how many times where things that I was like, ‘OK this is gonna be it,’ and then it’s not it. You have to make sure you have plenty of options to choose from.”

But Lambert is also into re-wearing her red carpet looks, rather than tucking them away in her closet. At the 2020 CMAs,Lambert wore a bubblegum pink dresswith exaggerated shoulders, which she paired with a Judith Leiber clutch and pink heels. She brought it back this year, though, for a date night with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin.

While in Ireland, Lambert brought back her Alex Perry dress, styling it similarly to how she did two years ago. She carried a jeweled handbag and wore platform heels. Lambert changed up her hair, though, sweeping it to one side rather than wearing her signature waves like she did in 2020.
The 2022 CMAs are airing live Wednesday night from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
