Lainey Wilson Sets Her Sequined Layers Over Metallic Betzábe Heels at the 2025 CMA Awards

Lainey Wilson traded in her Golden West cowboy boots for a pair of sharp metallic pointed toes at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, opening the show in silver Betzábe heels that flashed beneath her sequined Reem Acra jumpsuit.

The six-time nominee’s shoes featured a long, tapered pointed toe in a mirrored metallic finish that cut cleanly against the teal sequin bell bottoms, something of a signature of Lainey’s red carpet style. The pant hem tents slightly at the floor, indicating a likely heel beneath the jumpsuit’s volume. Betzábe’s current lineup includes similar silver styles — such as the pointed-toe Sofia slingback (100mm) and the Lola pump (65mm) — both finished in reflective metallic materials that match the toe seen on Wilson’s pair.

The metallic toe continues a thread Wilson has woven through her CMA week wardrobe. At the show’s press conference in Nashville earlier this week, she wore a Rimzim Dadu look with footwear built around a silver pointed toe, coordinating it with a black Western hat and bolo tie. The repeated use of metal-front shoes emphasizes her and longtime stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn’s approach for the 2025 CMAs: lean into Wilson’s Western core while introducing sharper, more directional accents for a night she described as “bold and unique.”

Wilson, who arrives as both host and six-time nominee, opened the ceremony with the first of multiple planned wardrobe changes — a fashion story she crafted with Mandelkorn to reflect her roots, precision styling and the scale of the night.

The 59th Annual CMA Awards took place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, broadcast on ABC and available for streaming on Hulu the next day. Lainey Wilson returned as the solo host, leading a star-studded night that celebrated both established and emerging country music talents. Top nominees included Ella Langley and Megan Moroney, along with Wilson, with six nominations each.
