The 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards red carpet was not only an opportunity for country music stars to show off their best in evening-wear, but also for many musicians and their wives to showcase their baby bumps.
This year’s red carpet was filled with maternity style as mothers-to-be showcased how to do an awards show when you are expecting. WWD has rounded up the maternity looks from this year’s ACM Awards red carpet.
Nicole Combs
Country music star Luke Combs and his wife Nicole Combs took to the red carpet, with Nicole showcasing her baby bump in a shimmering champagne-colored 1920s flapper-inspired Oscar de la Renta dress. It was complete with shimmering long tassel detailing on the hemline of the skirt.

She coordinated the dress with strappy glittering open-toe heeled sandals from Christian Louboutin and accessorized with Elizabeth Cole jewelry.
Luke wore a custom windowpane check blazer and a black shirt from Eric Adler, paired with black jeans from Joe’s Jeans and custom black boots from M.L. Eddy, as he appeared a proud dad-to-be holding his wife’s pregnant belly on the red carpet. The couple was styled by Katy Robbins.
“We knew this was the dress the moment we got all 50 hook and eyes done up in the back,” Robbins said. “It showed off her 6-month baby bump without looking like a full on body con dress. The dress gives both old Hollywood vibes while still hinting at country music with the fringe details. She’s glowing and all the sparkles just accentuate that.”
Kristen Davis
Country music singer Jordan Davis is about to welcome his third child with his wife Kristen Davis, who walked the red carpet alongside him in a shimmering champagne sequin cowl neck dress. Fringe detail was featured below her baby bump. She accessorized the maternity look with a feather trim clutch bag.
Kimberly Perry
Singer Kimberly Perry and her husband Johnny Costello graced the red carpet, as the pregnant star showed off her baby bump. The couple’s due date is August. For her maternity red carpet style, Perry wore a black dress with cutout details and a cape accented by glittering chainlink-style ovals around her baby bump and cape. She coordinated the dress with black platform ankle-strap heels.
