Lainey Wilson and Devlin “Duck” Hodges made a stylish entrance at the 2025 CMA Awards, turning the red carpet into their own personal runway. Lainey, shining in a stunning blue pantsuit complete with a bedazzled cape and matching cowboy hat, proved that she’s not just a country music star but also a fashion icon. Duck looked dapper himself, sporting an elevated western look with a long tan jacket and leather vest. Together, they were a picture-perfect couple amidst the glitz and glamour of the awards.
But there’s more than just fashion to the evening; Lainey hosted the show solo and had six nominations under her belt, tying her with fellow artists Ella Langley and Megan Moroney for the most nominations of the night. In an amusing twist, Lainey’s wedding planning is already giving her some laughs. The couple recently got engaged, but Lainey joked about making Duck wait before they tie the knot, as he took a solid four years to pop the big question! Who wouldn’t love a little playful banter amid the award flurry?
This year’s CMA Awards not only showcased Lainey’s talent as she prepared to perform but also highlighted the couple’s unwavering support for each other. With Duck cheering her on and Lainey living her dream, the night was one for the books. Who needs a quick wedding when you’re stealing the spotlight instead?
