g31Lainey Wilson is undeniably one of country music’s most gifted singer-songwriters, and her unique style has consistently set her apart, whether on stage or at red carpet events. As her career has evolved, so has her fashion, with one standout trend being her iconic bell-bottom look. Known for its retro charm, this style has become more polished and sophisticated with time, reflecting not only her musical growth but also her refined sense of fashion. From casual performances to glamorous red carpet moments, Lainey’s bell-bottoms have become a symbol of her bold, individualistic approach to style, showcasing how she’s seamlessly blended classic country with a modern, edgy twist.
“I was really trying to figure out what could I do to stand apart from the rest of the females in Nashville, because it’s very important to do that. And what is something that is really true to me? For me, it was the whole bell bottom throwback look. And I’m glad we did,” Lainey told Variety in January 2023.
Sure enough, there are almost no photos of Lainey where she’s not wearing bell bottoms, even though she’s changed up her look over the years. She also lost 70 pounds, completely transforming her body.
The Beginnings
Lainey was the lead singer of the group Loretta Jett when they performed a show with Christian metal band Stryper in Louisville, Kentucky, while rocking a leather jacket and black jeans. She’s seen here performing in 2016.
Funky
Lainey toned down her hippie-inspired onstage outfits for a trip down the red carpet at the Vault Media Group and Ovation magazine 2019 NFL Draft Kickoff Party.
Pre-70 Lb. Weight Loss
Lainey got animated onstage for day one of CMA Fest in June 2022, wearing her signature bell-bottom pants.
Ruffles Galore!
Lainey turned heads with her stunning outfit at the CMA Awards in 2023: a black strapless jumpsuit with, of course, bell bottoms that featured dramatic ruffled detailing. She added a matching cowboy hat atop her head and silver jewlery. Her stylist, Cherie Kilchrist, revealed the inspiration for the look to Us Weekly.
“Lainey has a classic country voice, so I was inspired by the legendary ladies of country music from the past like Dolly [Parton] and Reba [McEntire],” Cherie said. “My vision for the red carpet was a chic, moody cowgirl. For performance I turned to brands like Wrangler to stay true to her cowgirl roots.”
Elegant
Lainey looked heavenly in a long white one-shouldered top and matching bell bottom trousers to Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys party on February 3, 2024. She also performed at the event.
Looking Fit
Lainey flaunted her weight loss in a strapless silver top and fitted black flared pants with shiny silver accents to the CMT Awards in March 2024.
In Her Suit Era
Once again, Lainey chose a stylish suit with her signature bell bottom trousers for the ACM Awards on May 16, 2024. She went braless underneath the red pantsuit, which had a touch of sparkle thanks to her glittery lapel.
Red proved to be her lucky color, as she went on to win both Female Vocalist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year trophies.
