Miranda Lambert and her husband Brendan McLoughlin turned the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards red carpet into a sexy date night.
On Thursday, Sept. 26, Lambert, 40, and McLoughlin, 32, kept their red carpet hot streak going and showed off some country flair.
Lambert opted for a brown sequin midi dress with a plunging neckline teamed with a statement turquoise necklace, bronze clutch and matching sequin pumps. She styled her hair in relaxed waves and opted for a glowy makeup moment. McLoughlin kept it casual and cool in a black suede button down shirt and dress slacks.
The PCCAs are set to be a big night for Lambert, who is nominated for the female artist of 2024 and the female song of 2024 for “Wranglers.” The Grammy winner is also one of the evenings performers. Other artists taking to the stage include Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini and Lady A.

In addition to her nominations, Lambert will also be honored with the country icon award. The first person to receive the honor was the late Toby Keith, who was posthumously given the award in 2023.
According to a press release shared with PEOPLE, Lambert is receiving the award due to her impressive career and the way she has “built an authentic, female-forward brand of country that has shaped the industry.”
“A tour de force in country music for more than 20 years, Miranda Lambert’s groundbreaking albums continue to capture the hearts of fans around the world. We’re so excited to celebrate her career, fierce individualism and innovation in the industry with the Country Icon Award,” Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Live Events and Specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment said in a statement.
McLoughlin will be supporting his wife in the audience. Since the duo tied the knot in 2019, the police officer has rarely missed a chance to join his wife on the red carpet. The two are also known for their love of a matching moment.

In May, the couple rocked all-black outfits at the ACM Awards. Lambert wore a black dress with plunging neckline that she accented with a silver belt featuring turquoise embellishments. Meanwhile, McLoughlin went with a classic black suit and tie ensemble.
Then, on Sept. 11, they matched in black suits at the VMAs. This time, Lambert wore a fitted jacket with a paisley collar with just a turquoise bra underneath. As for McLoughlin, he kept his look simple with a black suit over a black button-down shirt. On her Instagram Stories, the “Dammit Randy” singer showed off her husband’s look as she told fans he was all “gussied up.”
The 2024 PCCAs will air live on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
