3. Reba McEntire’s Risqué Red Gown
Known for pushing the envelope before this, country legend Reba McEntire appeared at the 1993 CMA Awards in a gown that caught more than just the audience’s eye.
Draped in a sparkling red gown with a deep, plunging neckline, Reba turned heads as she walked the red carpet and wondered if her stylist had made the alterations she requested…
“I got more press off that dress than if I’d won Entertainer of the Year,” Reba says looking back on the moment. “I told lots of people I had it on backwards.”
Truth be told, Reba was at an unfair disadvantage because the lights in her dressing room were far dimmer than the spotlights on stage or the beams flooding the red carpet, and she couldn’t tell it was so sheer.
When she walked out on stage to sing with Linda Davis, there was a gasp as everyone saw her dress – but Reba wasn’t willing to let that get in the way of her performance and the show went on!
