As always, country couples turned heads on the ACM red carpet. This year's show is back at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and singers such as Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson, Zach Top and Shaboozey dressed for a good time.

As is often the case, there was a little news on the red carpet as well. One country singer announced his wife's pregnancy while another showed up wearing something fans have only seen once — on her wedding day!

Can you spot it?

Host Shania Twain and Kane Brown had two of the bolder looks of the night. Yes, that is a panther on the country queen's gown and yes, Kane did forget his suit sleeves at home.

When your arms look like that it's probably acceptable go sleeveless. Heck, women do it all the time!
