Kelsea Ballerini Channels Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days During 2024 ACM Awards

Andie Anderson or Kelsea Ballerini?

The "HEARTFIRST" singer inspired more than a few double takes while walking the 2024 ACM Awards red carpet at Texas' Ford Center on May 16 by wearing a look that resembled the iconic yellow dress Kate Hudson's character wore in her 2003 classic How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

For the ceremony, which was hosted by Reba McEntire for a record-breaking 17th time, Kelsea stunned in a floor-length champagne satin gown with a high-neck that called to mind the silk, butter yellow dress Andie wears during the climactic diamond party scene in the film. Finishing off the jaw-dropping look, the "This Feeling" singer also wore her hair in a nearly identical messy updo, while also rocking simple diamond earrings and a dainty silver bracelet.

And Kelsea, 30, isn't only at the 59th annual event to show off her stunning fashion sense. For starters, the "I Quit Drinking" singer is also nominated for two awards. She'll face off against Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney, Kacey Musgraves and Lainey Wilson in the Female Artist of the Year category. Meanwhile, her record Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good) earned an Album of the Year nod alongside Luke CombsGettin' Old, Chris Stapleton's HigherCody Johnson's Leather and Morgan Wallen's One Thing At A Time.

But whether she picks up a trophy or not, Kelsea will still take the stage during country music's biggest party. In fact, the 30-year-old previously shared that she's especially excited to perform with fellow singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, who she "became buddies" with ahead of the 2024 Grammy Awards

"I remember hearing 'Stick Season' for the first time and being like, 'Oh my gosh,'" Kelsea told the Tennessean May 15. "The whole record—'Growing Sideways' is my favorite on that album. He just is a brilliant songwriter."

Explaining that Noah has a talent for writing some lyrics "in the most poetic way" and then "the very next line is something you would say to your best friend," she continued, "So, I've always been really drawn to his music because I hope people feel the same way about mine."

Kelsea added with a big smile, "And now we get to sing together."
