Lainey Wilson traded in her Golden West cowboy boots for a pair of sharp metallic pointed toes at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, opening the show in silver Betzábe heels that flashed beneath her sequined Reem Acra jumpsuit.
The six-time nominee’s shoes featured a long, tapered pointed toe in a mirrored metallic finish that cut cleanly against the teal sequin bell bottoms, something of a signature of Lainey’s red carpet style. The pant hem tents slightly at the floor, indicating a likely heel beneath the jumpsuit’s volume. Betzábe’s current lineup includes similar silver styles — such as the pointed-toe Sofia slingback (100mm) and the Lola pump (65mm) — both finished in reflective metallic materials that match the toe seen on Wilson’s pair.
The metallic toe continues a thread Wilson has woven through her CMA week wardrobe. At the show’s press conference in Nashville earlier this week, she wore a Rimzim Dadu look with footwear built around a silver pointed toe, coordinating it with a black Western hat and bolo tie. The repeated use of metal-front shoes emphasizes her and longtime stylist Alexandra Mandelkorn’s approach for the 2025 CMAs: lean into Wilson’s Western core while introducing sharper, more directional accents for a night she described as “bold and unique.”
