Kelsea Ballerini was totally Y2K while remotely hosting the 2022 CMT Awards on Monday night.
The “Half of My Hometown” musician, who co-hosted the event remotely due to a recent positive COVID-19 test, wore a purple minidress for the occasion. The sleek number featured a strapless silhouette with a small front cutout, as well as an asymmetric hem shaped like a flower with black and silver sequins. Sparkly hoop earrings finished Ballerini’s ensemble.
Ballerini’s’ footwear wasn’t visible beneath the video screen. However, the “First Time” star did get to pose on the CMT Awards red carpet — from her driveway, thanks to a step-and-repeat backdrop set up at her home. The musician, styled by Molly Dickson, wore a white Michael Kors suit with sequined silver lapels over a matching glitzy bandeau top. Completing her outfit were the same hoops, as well as a pair of clear high heels with pointed toes and large crystal bow accents.
