When the world's top country artists gather for the annual Academy of Country Music Awards, it's not just about the music — it's also a grand stage for show-stopping fashion. This year, for the 59th annual ACM Awards, one songstress had everyone talking, and it wasn't host Reba McEntire. Country singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson took home three major awards. We expected nothing less as the country star took home five awards at last year's Country Music Awards, where she wore a pair of black ruffly bell bottoms.

Other winners at the 2024 ACMs include Chris Stapleton, Dan + Shay, Megan Moroney, Luke Combs, Old Dominion — just to name a few. Prized awards aside, Wilson, who you may also know from Paramount Network's hit drama series "Yellowstone," wore a fierce ensemble that set the red carpet ablaze and turned heads at every turn. Since her fabulous outfit landed her at the top of several best-dressed lists from the night, we found similar looks to help you replicate her iconic style.

Bringing a touch of celebrity glam into your own wardrobe, you can don a bold-colored pair of bell-bottoms like the ones Wilson wore at the ACMs and CMAs. And the best part is you don't have to spend much because these bargain-friendly dupes are readily available.

We love this pick because they're both bold and chic. The fire engine hue is balanced nicely by the crease on each pant leg that makes them perfect for a day at the office. Pair it with a crisp white button-down or sleek white T-shirt.

Made of five percent spandex, they have a little bit of stretch. And, they come in various other bold hues if red is not quite your color.

Fiery and Flowy

You'll also appreciate the elastic waist and frilly hem detail. Other colors are available should red not suit you.

We adore the scalloped waist detail in these red pants. The crease makes them suitable for a day in an office or a special occasion. While they're more like a wide-leg trouser than a statement-making pair of bell bottoms, they certainly check the box and mirror Lainey Wilson's ACM style.

They have some stretch, and come in a breathable fabric.
