LeAnn Rimes looked impressive in a crystal-embellished gown with a gorgeous thigh-high slit at the 2023 CMT Music Awards in Austin, Texas on Sunday.
As she strolled down the aqua blue carpet, outside of Moody Center, the country star, 40, was bursting with confidence as she flaunted her cleavage in her sparkly dress, which she paired with a pair of silver pumps that showed off her bright red pedicure.
The two-time Grammy winner wore her golden blonde hair in tousled beachy waves and sported a dewy, radiant makeup look, consisting of blush and pink lip gloss.
While posing for photographers, she revealed some of her small tattoos, including the words “God’s work” on her left forearm and “Grace will lead me” inked on the inside of her right elbow.
Rhimes, who was nominated for CMT Performance of the Year, will perform at the ceremony.

The Blues singer will also perform in a tribute to Gary Rossington, who passed away earlier this month, along with Wynonna Judd, Billy Gibbons, Slash, Cody Johnson, Paul Rodgers, Chuck Leavell and Warren Hines.
On her Instagram story, Remès credited hairstylist Marwa Bashir, makeup artist Emily Gray Higgins and stylist Sonia Christensen for creating her glow.
In addition, she shared two photos with her husband, Eddie Cibrian, captioning: “Instagram vs reality…date night at #cmtawards.”
In the first photo, they both looked flawless as they stared at the camera, while in the next photo they both made a silly face while she licked his cheek in the second shot.
Her performance comes after she recovered from a bleed on her vocal cords in December, which forced her to reschedule concerts in Iowa and Tennessee.
“While I was suffering from the flu, my doctor discovered a vocal cord hemorrhage, caused by the violent coughing that accompanies the disease,” she revealed to fans at the time. “I’m getting better, but I’m not able to talk or sing… under the doctor’s orders!”
She concluded that being forced to reschedule “completely and completely” broke her heart.
Last year, the artist also opened up about the “very, very severe depression” she suffered amid the coronavirus pandemic and is struggling to perform live again.

“I don’t think I’ve been off the road for 16 months like this at one point in time for that long,” she said on the Verywell Mind podcast.
She continued, “I went back out to do my first show recently in front of thousands of people. I was very provoked.
“I’m like, ‘Oh my God, the experience I’m going through right now is so intense.’ And it was like that, nothing happened. I walked out, it’s like riding a bike, and it didn’t feel like there was 16 months in between,” said Rimes.
The actress concluded, “I realized when it came out, how unhealthy some of this was. I’m like, this is not the normal experience I’m supposed to have. And I’ve had this energetic, energetic experience my whole life.
