Miranda Lambert’s Velvet Rodeo Wardrobe to Be Featured in New National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame Exhibition

The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is celebrating Miranda Lambert’s deep connection to Western fashion and country music with a new exhibition featuring clothing items from her Las Vegas residency.

“Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo” will be the first display featured in the museum’s new Icons Gallery when its expansion opens on November 7. Created in partnership with Lambert, the exhibition will showcase the one-of-a-kind wardrobe that the country star wore during her Velvet Rodeo residency that ran from 2022 through 2024. Visitors who step inside the exhibit will get an up-close look at the ensembles that came to life on the Sin City stage.

Lambert’s appreciation for Western culture is reflected in her work as a horsewoman and active mounted shooting competitor, as well as her recognition as a National Cowgirl Hall of Fame honoree. The exhibition aims to highlight that side of her identity while celebrating her creativity as a performer.

This serves as a full circle moment, as Lambert explains that many of the styles showcased within the museum inspired her own glamourous looks.

“When I first visited the National Cowgirl Museum, I was so inspired by all of the amazing Western pieces on display that I sent a bunch of photos to my stylist, Tiffany. We mixed that inspiration with the heyday of Elvis to create the ‘Velvet Rodeo’ wardrobe,” recalls Lambert. “Seeing these pieces now have a life beyond the stage as part of the Museum’s new Icons Gallery feels really full circle and special.”

“Miranda’s ‘Velvet Rodeo’ styling was inspired by historic garments from iconic western tailors which she saw on display at the Museum,” notes Ashley Kowalski, Curator. “We are honored to give her residency wardrobe a new stage where the collection can be appreciated in its entirety.”

Pat Riley, Executive Director of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, shared how Lambert’s “confidence, determination and independence” align closely with the values of the museum. This makes her the perfect choice to kick off the new Icons Gallery and represent the generations of women honored by the museum.

“Opening our Icons Gallery with this collaboration celebrates her accomplishments while giving visitors a new way to connect with a cowgirl they know and admire,” he adds.

In addition to “Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo,” the 16,000-square-foot expansion will feature new galleries and experiences that explore the accomplishments and influence of women of the West.

Located in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District, the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame currently houses more than 4,000 artifacts showcased through immersive exhibits, interactive galleries and storytelling. The museum celebrates the legacies of artists, ranchers, rodeo champions, activists and trailblazers who have helped shape the West, while also recognizing the women continuing to break barriers today.
