Megan Moroney is channeling an early aughts style moment at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
The country music artist, 27, arrived at the 2025 ACM Awards in Frisco, Texas, on May 8 and walked the red carpet in a nod to one of the 2000s most beloved romcoms.
Moroney attended the event in a slinky yellow satin one-shoulder gown by Cult Gaia that draped elegantly along her frame, plus a dazzling yellow diamond necklace. She wore her blonde hair parted down the middle in soft, beachy waves.
The “Tennessee Orange” singer exclusively told PEOPLE on the ACM Awards red carpet that the gown was inspired by Kate Hudson as Andie Anderson in the 2003 movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

“The vibe is obviously Kate Hudson [and] Andie Anderson. I just watched the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days a couple of months ago for the first time,” Moroney said.
The country artist continued, “I’m not a big movie watcher, but I didn’t know I was missing out on such a great movie. I’ve been kind of obsessed with it, and I just wanted to wear yellow and I thought it’d be cute.”

The 2024 ACM Award winner loves to wear full glam for the industry’s biggest nights.

The sparkles even extended to Moroney’s microphone during her performance on the Dec. 12 show.

“I wanted to be dressed as a human red flag—like the guy in the song I’m performing,” Moroney told Cosmopolitan ahead of the 2024 ceremony’s taping. During the show, she performed “Man on the Moon” from her 2024 album Am I Okay?
“I’ve always loved dressing up and putting outfits together,” she told the outlet. “Since college, I’ve enjoyed styling myself and helping my friends pick out outfits. During my first few years as an artist in Nashville, I was completely self-styled.”

A month prior, the “No Caller ID” singer served another iconic look, this time at the 2024 CMA Awards. On Nov. 20, Moroney arrived at the ceremony in Nashville wearing a custom ultramarine Cristian Siriano strapless mermaid gown. The look was completed with a full organza skirt. On Hulu’s red carpet livestream, she called the look “very blue and very sparkly.”

She styled the look with Giuseppe Zanotti heels, statement rings and a bedazzled custom Edie Parket clutch. Her blonde hair was kept in voluminous and fluffed-out waves. A royal blue manicure completed the look. The color scheme was seemingly a nod to her latest album, which was released last July.

“With the drama of the red dress, I wanted to go full classic Hollywood glam with my hair in smooth waves, fresh glowy skin and a bold lip,” the “Tennessee Orange” singer told PEOPLE.
Last year, on Moroney’s Am I Okay? Tour, her stage looks mostly consisted of short dresses with flouncy skirts and cowboy boots.
