Reba McEntire, 69, Stuns in Sheer Lace at 2024 ACM Awards, Garnering Universal Praise

Reba McEntire made history last week by hosting the American Country Music Awards for a record-breaking 17th time, and it’s fair to say she commanded a significant share of the spotlight.

The iconic singer took on the role of emcee for the ceremony in Fresco, Texas, a duty she has performed numerous times in the past, including in 2019 and as recently as last year.

At 69, McEntire is a seasoned host, and her opening monologue showcased her expertise and charm once again. Fans watching from home had plenty of positive feedback about Reba’s hosting skills, and her red carpet outfit also garnered significant praise.

According to reports, McEntire walked the red carpet in a black sequined blazer paired with flared trousers by Roberto Cavalli, featuring a lace pattern. She completed her dazzling look with turquoise jewelry, including a necklace and chandelier earrings.

Reba’s outfit drew a multitude of comments online. The singer, who performed the “Star Spangled Banner” at this year’s Super Bowl, is a beloved figure in the US and beyond, and her fans were out in force after the 2024 ACM Awards.

“Absolutely stunning as usual, Reba,” one person wrote.

Another said, “You are amazing at what you do. But it’s also important to mention how amazing you look.“

“She is one gorgeous woman,” opined a third.

And it wasn’t just her look that left people impressed, but also her natural flair for hosting. This year’s event marked the 17th time McEntire has hosted the ACM Awards, while her affiliation with the ceremony goes back over 40 years to when she received her first award.

Reba didn’t shy away from her long history with the ACMs. She jokingly remarked that Jelly Roll used to be the name of an after-school snack, referring to the award-nominated country music artist, and added that a stagecoach was how she used to get to school, a nod to the popular country music festival.

Fans watching the event were quick to share their opinions about Reba’s performance.

“Having Reba host this year’s show is like having your favorite aunt come over for dinner,” one fan on X wrote. “She’s so sweet & you love to hear from her.”

Another added that the star “is just an absolutely incredible entertainer; country music is lucky to have her.”

“It’s always a good time and a party,” a fourth commented.

A fifth labeled McEntire “the ultimate host.”
