Miranda Lambert stole the show at the 15th Annual Academy of Country Music Honors (August 24). Not only did she achieve the highest honor of the night, but she stood out among her fellow country artists with her bright orange blazer/mini dress combo by Australian designer, Alex Perry.
Walking the red carpet alongside her husband Brendan McLoughlin, the 38-year-old singer accessorized her neon ensemble with gold layered necklaces, a coordinating gold clutch, and Gianvito Rossiiridescent pumps. Lambert topped off her look with a simple yet dazzling gold eye shadow as her blonde hair cascaded down her shoulder in loose waves.
As the night’s final honoree, Lambert received the ACM Triple Crown Award. Her first win for ACM Entertainer of the Year at the 57th ACM Awards qualified her for this prestigious award alongside her win for Top New Female Vocalist and Female Vocalist of the Year. Lambert is one of only seven artists that have been honored with the Triple Crown Award and she is the most-awarded artist in ACM Awards history with 37 feats under her belt.
Little Big Town took the stage early on in the night for a heartfelt performance of Lambert’s fan-favorite, “The House That Built Me,” earning a roar of applause from the audience.
Legendary country duo Brooks & Dunn followed with a fiery tribute of her 2005 hit, “Kerosene,” which Lambert revealed she was “freaking out” about.
Lambert’s longtime producer, Frank Liddell, then gave a heartfelt speech and presented her with the honor at the end of the show.
Lambert gave Liddell a big hug before returning the gratitude.
“Thank you, Frank for being here. I met Frank when I was 17…I just have had an amazing night,” she gushed.
