The AMC Awards 2024 brought out country music’s biggest stars, and this year, the artists left their cowboy boots at home. While Western-inspired footwear continues to trend, many of the guests walking the red carpet on Thursday in Frisco, Texas, ditched cowboy-core for high heels.

Leading the pack? Gwen Stefani. She walked the carpet alongside husband Blake Shelton wearing sky-high platforms and fishnets. She paired the bronze metallic Roberto Cavalli platforms with a feathered jacket and matching mini skirt. The duo hit the stage to perform their song “Purple Irises.”

Singer Hannah Ellis also made a shoe statement, wearing Alexandre Birman’s Karina sandals. The silver metallic heeled sandals were detailed with a snake print design and shimmering crystals adorned on the straps.
