Kelsea Ballerini was honored at the 2022 ASCAP Country Music Awards reception yesterday. The event, which took place at Soho House in Nashville, Tenn. saw Ballerini clad in a graphic dress with vibrant footwear. The young star won an award for her song “Half of My Hometown,” feat Kenny Chesney.
Ballerini wore a blue long-sleeve turtleneck dress that featured a swirling black and white pattern. The garment was designed with an asymmetrical hem and was paired with statement-making silver rings and large matching hoops.
The “Peter Pan” singer popped on sky-blue knee0high boots that were reminiscent of a classic ’70s style. The shoes were a tubular shape with a steady, pointed-toe heel and an embossed crocodile print.
Popularized in the go-go era, knee-high boots leave the wearer’s knee exposed, but cover up the calves. Often worn with skirts, the style is a wise choice in fall and winter for protecting the leg from the elements while still allowing the wearer to show some leg.
