Celebrities brought a glamorous approach to pregnancy dressing on the red carpet for the 2023 ACM Music Awards.
Since Rihanna first stepped out in a vintage pink Chanel puffer and jeans in January 2022, revamped pregnancy style — favoring individuals’ personal style and dynamic glamour as complements to their baby bumps — has risen to new heights. This can frequently be seen on red carpets in the continuing 2020s, such as this evening’s ACM Awards.
The night found expectant female singers and the wives of nominated musicians draped in dresses that made a range of statements, from tonal pastel hues to sparkling crystal embellishments. Most ensembles were also paired with a variety of high heels for the occasion, including low-heeled pumps, crystal-embellished sandals and towering 6-inch platforms.
Below, discover all the pregnant stars who brought baby bump glamour to the red carpet at the 2023 ACM Music Awards.
