Gwen Stefani wows on red carpet alongside husband Blake Shelton at CMT Awards in Austin

Country music stars show off their best Sunday on the red carpet at the 57th CMT Music Awards at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.

And while Gwen Stefani isn’t exactly a country music artist, she breaks the music genre line by being married. country singer Blake Shelton, who is a nine-time CMT Award winner during his illustrious career.

The couple, who have been together since October 2015 and have been married for almost two years, would be among the stars to hit the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, where they showed off their undeniable chemistry.

Never to be outdone in the fashion department, Stefani, 53, showed off her fabulous figure in a skimpy gold sequin miniskirt that she paired with a white dress shirt under a black blazer and matching tie.

To add a touch or two of funky, the Hollaback Girl singer-songwriter also donned furry knee-high black boots and fishnet stockings.

Completing her unique look, the No Doubt frontwoman pinned her long blonde locks into a tight double bun on top of her head, along with her signature bold red lips.
