The country crooner paired the ensemble with a pair of black, leather boots and accessorized it with a pair of rings with silver bands.
At the event where he also performed, he was accompanied by his wife, Katelyn.
The musician looked dazzling in a silver shimmering bikini top tied around her waist and hips to accentuate her toned figure.
She paired the bold top with a high-waisted black maxi skirt made from a shimmery satin material.
The singer-songwriter accompanied a pair of shimmering pointed-toe heels to match her top.
She was also seen wearing a sparkly, silver camera bag.
The blonde beauty tossed her hair in a voluminous half-up and half-up hairstyle, complete with casual curls.
Before makeup, she looked glamorous in a minimal and radiant makeup look to show off her natural beauty.

Country music fans can rejoice as the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards air tonight at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
The ACMs will be broadcast from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, and viewers at home can watch it on Amazon Prime Video β even without a subscription β and on Twitch’s Amazon Music Channel.
Two country superstars whose appeal transcends genre boundaries – Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks – host the ceremony.
“While I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with him over the years, I can’t believe we never had the chance to work together,” Parton said of Brooks in a statement shared after she was announced as host.
Unfortunately, fans probably won’t see the legendary entertainers duet, though Parton will still perform.
‘I think [Brooks’ wife] Trisha [Yearwood] will also be featured on the show, so I thought I wouldn’t mess with that,β Parton joked to reporters at a press event. “I don’t want her kicking my little ass!”
HARDY leads the nominations this year with seven, while Lainey Wilson is close behind with six nominations.
Country stars Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert and Cole Swindell also scored five nominations each.
The top prize for Entertainer of the Year goes to Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood or Morgan Wallen.
Wallen was engulfed in controversy in 2021 after he was caught on video drunkenly shouting the N-word. In response, his record deal was suspended and some radio stations stopped playing his music, while streaming services removed his songs from playlists.
However, country fans reacted to his use of racial slurs by purchasing his 2021 album Dangerous: The Double Album in even greater numbers.
Lambert is the most awarded person ever at the ACM Awards, and she broke the record for most Female Artist of the Year nominations with her 17th this year, surpassing Reba McEntire’s 16.
Performers at Thursday’s ceremony include Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde, Jo Dee Messina, Jelly Roll, Cole Swindell, Keith Urban, Morgan Wallen, The War And Treaty, Lainey Wilson and Bailey Zimmerman.
He’s best known for his hit pop songs, but Ed Sheeran will also bring his smooth sound to the rough show.
Before her performance, Parton will debut World On Fire, the first track on her upcoming album Rockstar.
The cover’s LP is a departure for her, marking her first rock album, and it was inspired after she was nominated – and subsequently inducted – into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
