Ella Langley Was Ethereal On the 2026 ACM Awards Red Carpet [Photos]

2026 is the year of Ella Langley, and she looked every bit the country music superstar as she arrived at the 2026 ACM Awards.

Langley was effortlessly classy as she stepped onto the red carpet in a strapless white gown, complete with a structured corset and flowing trail.

She underscored the dreamy vibes with soft, fairytale curls — and of course, no Ella Langley look would be complete without her signature bangs!

But perhaps the most eye-catching piece of Langley's outfit was a large pendant around her neck in the shape of a dandelion: Presumably a nod to her new album, Dandelion, which came out last month.

She matched the necklace with gold highlights in the multiple rings she wore on the red carpet.

Langley has said that much of her Dandelion album was about healing and growth, and her 2026 ACMs red carpet look reflected the softness she projected on the project.

What Is Ella Langley Nominated For at the 2026 ACM Awards?

Langley is among the most-nominated artists at Sunday night's show, with seven mentions total. Her nominations are:

• Female Artist of the Year
• Song of the Year (for "Choosin' Texas," both as an artist and a songwriter)
• Single of the Year (for "Choosin' Texas", both as an artist and a producer)
• Music Event of the Year (for "Don't Mind if I Do," with Riley Green"
• Artist-Songwriter of the Year (she was announced as the winner in this category before the show.)

Langley was already a winner when she walked the 2026 ACMs red carpet. She won the Artist-Songwriter of the Year trophy in an early announcement before the show kicked off.

She's likely to score more nominations for her Dandelion album at the 2027 ACM Awards. The project has made a big impact in the weeks since its release, but it didn't fall within the eligibility period for this year's awards show.
