Kelsea Ballerini glitters as star of country music and fashion! See some of her best looks

Whether Kelsea Ballerini is singing onstage or walking the red carpet at a big awards show, the Knoxville native is growing her reputation as fashion icon as well as a country music star.

As a frequent performer, nominee and host at the country's biggest music awards shows, Ballerini has brought bright colors and glittering sparkles to the stage over the years.

But now she's becoming a regular face at fashion shows, too, and draws attention and headlines for her daring looks.

The 30-year-old wore a sheer black gown for the Prabal Gurung show during New York Fashion Week back in February. This September, she was showcased as a special guest to Michael Kors' New York Fashion Week show, wearing a short black skirt with a bold back and silver belt, plus oversized sunglasses. She stood alongside Jane Krakowski, Ariana DeBose, Rita Ora and Vanessa Hudgens at the designer's waterfront show.

Perhaps most impressive to her hometown fans, in the promotional images announcing "The Homecoming Show" - her Nov. 2, one-night-only concert at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville - Ballerini was sporting her most on-trend look ever: a Vols jacket draped over one shoulder.
