Lambert was supported at the annual event by her 31-year-old husband Brendan McLoughlin, who looked handsome in a suit and tie.
She narrowly avoided an awkward run-in with her ex-husband Blake Shelton, 47, who was there with his new wife Gwen Stefani, 54.
Gwen showed a lot of leg as she cozied up to Blake ahead of Thursday's ceremony.
The couple — who will celebrate three years of marriage in July — looked as in love as ever during their red carpet stint.
Rocking her signature bleach blonde hair, Gwen posed up in a suede jacket and skirt with feather-shaped tassels.
Kelsea Ballerini delivered Old Hollywood glamour in a backless champagne-colored gown with a dramatic train.
The singer, 30, exuded elegance in the stunning frock that showcased her gym-honed figure and bronzed complexion.
Her dirty blonde hair was styled in a low bun with her bangs left out to frame her face.
Missing from the action was Ballerini's hunky boyfriend Chase Stokes, 31.
Rocking head-to-toe red, Lainey Wilson oozed confidence in front of photographers ahead of the ceremony.
The Yellowstone star, 31, went bra-less under a chic blazer with sparkly rhinestone lapels, matching flared pants and a flashy belt.
Lainey's bouncy blonde curls flowed out from under a burgundy felt cowboy hat.
