At 69, Reba McEntire wears transparent lace to 2024 ACM Awards, and everyone’s saying the same thing

Last week, Reba McEntire made history by hosting the American Country Music Awards for a record-breaking 17th time, and she certainly captured the spotlight. The iconic singer returned to emcee the ceremony in Fresco, Texas, having taken on this role multiple times before, including in 2019 and as recently as last year.

At 69, Reba is a seasoned pro, and her opening monologue proved she was once again at the top of her game. Fans at home showered her with praise, not only for her hosting skills but also for her stunning red carpet ensemble.

Reports reveal that McEntire rocked a black sequined blazer paired with flared trousers by Roberto Cavalli, featuring a chic lace pattern. She completed her standout look with turquoise jewelry, including a statement necklace and chandelier earrings. Naturally, her outfit sparked a wave of admiration online. The beloved singer, who performed the “Star-Spangled Banner” at this year’s Super Bowl, has a loyal fan base, and they didn’t hold back on sharing their admiration after the 2024 ACM Awards.

“Absolutely stunning as usual, Reba,” one fan commented.

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

“She is one gorgeous woman,” a third chimed in.

But it wasn’t just her fashion sense that won people over—it was her undeniable hosting charm. This year’s event marked Reba’s 17th time as host, continuing a relationship with the ACM Awards that spans more than 40 years, dating back to her first award win.

Reba even joked about her long-standing connection, quipping that Jelly Roll, one of the award-nominated artists, used to be just an after-school snack, and humorously added that she took a stagecoach to school, referring to the popular country music festival by the same name.

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on social media.

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

Another said that Reba “is just an absolutely incredible entertainer; country music is lucky to have her.”

“It’s always a good time and a party,” added another.

Someone else even crowned her “the ultimate host.”
