Paula Abdul

Paula Abdul pulled up to the 2023 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards in a straight-up showstopping look.

The 61-year-old "Opposites Attract" singer stunned on the red carpet of the Wednesday, Nov. 8, event wearing a low-cut nude floor-length gown that featured an intricate pattern of different colored metallic sequins embroidered throughout and elongated sleeves that had slits down the middle and served as a train.

She completed the look with a thick yellow gold belt that sat at her waist, a gold bedazzled clutch, oversized silver earrings, a few silver rings, and a pair of silver pumps.

The former American Idol judge rocked a full face of glam that included sparkly eyeshadow, rose-colored lipstick and a matching shade of blush. She kept her hair relatively simple, styling her short lob-style cut in a voluminous blowout.

Abdul is one of the many A-listers who were invited to present an award at tonight's 57th annual CMA Awards show, held at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Other presenters are reported to include Martina McBride, Lady A, Keith Urban and The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner, among a handful of others.

And though her outfit was certainly eye-catching, she wasn't the only star to take the red carpet by storm. Brenda Lee also turned heads with her rare public appearance, as did Carly Pearce, Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde, the musical group Chapel Hart (Trea Swindle, Danica Hart and Devynn Hart), as well as Hailey Whitters–check out all artists' looks in our fashion gallery!
