The "Can't Fight the Moonlight" singer donned an ethereal nude-colored gown that highlighted her lithe frame for the red carpet. The off-the-shoulder dress featured a sheer tulle overlay that draped over a corset-style bodice, and the gown's sheer skirt offered a subtle glimpse of her legs. 

She paired the look with metallic platform heels and accessorized with a sparkling diamond choker and stacked rings. LeAnn wore her long blonde hair parted slightly off-center.
