These Cowboy Boots Were Made for the 2024 ACM Awards Red Carpet


More from Footwear News


It seems a given that celebrities would turn up to the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday night wearing cowboy boots, and that they did. Hosted at the Omni Frisco Hotel in Frisco, Texas, the event boasted gray carpet and multiple attendees wearing the trending Western style.

Cowboy boots have been trending both on the runway and in popular culture over the last six months. High fashion brands like Louis Vuitton have put Western wear on their men’s runway, while others like Christian Louboutin have included cowboy boots in their presentations. Beyonce has become a lightning rod of sorts for the cowboycore movement, in line with the promotion of her “Cowboy Carter” titled album. Some analysts have linked the star to boot sales across the U.S. Album collaborator Reyna Roberts wore metal cap-toe cowboy boots to the CMT Awards earlier this year.

Hosted by Reba McEntire, the 2024 ACM Awards featured performances from Kane Brown, Miranda Lambert, Post Malone, Chris Stapleton and more. The show was streamed live on Prime Video.

Here are a few of the stars who wore cowboy boots with their looks.
