LeAnn Rimes made it clear she wasn’t interested in playing it safe. During a live performance in Nashville on Friday night, the singer delivered far more than vocals — she delivered a jaw-dropping fashion moment that instantly became the talk of the evening.
Taking the stage at the historic Ryman Auditorium on December 12, the 42-year-old artist stunned the audience in what may be her most daring outfit to date. Rimes embraced the lingerie-as-fashion trend head-on, appearing in a dramatic black corset dress crafted almost entirely from sheer lace. The look was bold, revealing, and designed to command attention.

The gown featured a deep plunging corset bodice with a structured bra element, connected to delicate lace panels that left her waist and sides fully exposed. As she moved across the stage, it became clear that the cutouts extended all the way around her torso, making the back of the dress just as provocative as the front. A floor-length lace skirt offered minimal coverage, layered with subtle ruching and ruffled textures that skimmed her thighs before flowing into a transparent finish.

Rimes kept the styling clean and confident. Her blonde hair fell in loose, center-parted waves, while simple gold hoop earrings added just a hint of shine — letting the outfit speak for itself.
This isn’t the first time the singer has leaned into bold, boudoir-inspired fashion. Earlier this year, she turned heads at the Academy of Country Music Awards in a sheer nude gown that left little to the imagination. Clearly, Rimes has no intention of retreating from risk-taking style.

Once again, she proved that onstage confidence isn’t just about sound — it’s about presence, power, and knowing exactly how far to push the spotlight.
