The past year has been major for Lainey Wilson.
The country musician and "Yellowstone" star released her fifth studio album, opened her Nashville bar, and won her first Grammy award in 2024.
At the same time, her style also majorly evolved.
Here's a look at how Wilson took her fashion from that of a young, emerging star to one fitting for a TV star and country legend.

The musician attended the 2018 ASCAP Country Music Awards in a two-piece suit printed with a brown snakeskin pattern.
She paired the set with a sparkling button-up top, an assortment of rings, and a delicate necklace.
The outfit was eye-catching but pretty different from the styles Wilson would gravitate toward in the following years.

She wore a pair at the 2021 CMT Music Awards. They were crafted from a metallic, mustard-yellow fabric and decorated with silver studs in star prints at the ankles.
Still, the "Yellowstone" star remained loyal to snakeskin. She wore a top designed with the print that had long sleeves and was tied at the waist.
For accessories, she layered gold and silver necklaces.

For the iHeartRadio Music Awards that year, Wilson donned a black, corseted bodysuit beneath see-through bell bottoms.
She also wore a sheer duster decorated with silver fringe, which matched her statement metallic jewelry.
The outfit showed the more daring side of Wilson's style and the progression of her glamour.

Wilson stepped onto the CMA Awards red carpet that year looking like a Hollywood star.
She wore a standout Carolina Herrera catsuit with a wrapped, strapless bodice and layered ruffles down each pant leg.
The high-fashion piece was also accessorized with statement jewels from Haybelle Co., which made the ensemble even more exciting.

Just look at the Roberto Cavalli suit she wore to the 2024 MusiCares Person of the Year event.
Its turquoise color stood out on the red carpet, and its opened button-up blouse added a surprising, skin-baring edge.
Wilson also wore a statement belt from Lela Rose, jewels from Jacquie Aiche, and a black, wide-brimmed hat.

For example, she didn't wear her signature bottoms at Charlize Theron's 2024 Africa Outreach Project party.
Instead, Wilson sported straight-leg, high-waist trousers in a red shade that matched her high-neck crop top.
She stayed true to her favorite accessories: oversize jewelry, a belt with a large buckle, and a white cowboy hat.

She wore a customized version of a Chloé runway piece at the recent Variety Hitmakers Brunch.
Her designer top was sheer, covered in ruffles, and split at the waist by a large cutout. The musician wore it with black bell bottoms covering her shoes and a hat that was the same color as her blouse.
The overall style of the outfit was in line with Wilson's signature looks, while its designer tags showed just how far the musician's fashion has come.
