Aug 5, 2014

They bring their wildest western wear, of course! From prairie prom gowns to rhinestone-embellished suits, click through as we countdown the 15 craziest country-music fashion of all time.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's just Laura Bell Bundy flying into the No. 15 spot. And yes, she wore this cape-like skirt to the 2011 CMA Awards.

13. Shania Twain

Stars never know whether it will be scorching hot or freezing cold while onstage. So just to be safe, Shania picked out a not-so-pretty-in-pink ensemble that covered all possible temperatures during her 1999 CMA Awards show performance. Or at least it appears so.

5. Barbara Mandrell

If y'all didn't know that Barbara was a country crooner, it would be easy to confuse her with a mortician's wife. Especially in this creepy Victorian gown that she donned at the 2006 CMA Awards.

4. Trick Pony

Didn't you know that Keith Burns and Ira Dean were set to star in the country version of "A Night at the Roxbury"? Just kidding! But in these getups, don't they totally look like they were about to head bop their way down the red carpet at the 38th Annual ACM Awards? Cue the music ...

Why hello, Dwight.

Now listen here, it's our turn to talk. Sure the greeting threw us off a bit, but we're totally perplexed by the three belt buckles that you wore at the 2007 CMA Awards. Was one not enough?
