Kelsea Ballerini Goes Black and White in Plunging Tamara Ralph Minidress for Grammys 2025 Red Carpet

Kelsea Ballerini opted for monochrome hues at the 2025 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday. The singer received a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her track “Cowboys Cry Too” with Noah Kahan.

On the red carpet, Ballerini modeled a full look from Tamara Ralph’s fall 2024 couture collection. Featuring a little black dress with a plunging neckline, it came with a white floor-length satin shawl. Black pumps and diamond-encrusted jewelry, including rings and earrings, completed the country star’s look.

The “If You Go Down” artist wore her blond tresses in waves, while her makeup consisted of brown eyeshadow and a nude lip.

In October, Ballerini performed on NBC’s “Today” in a crystallized pinstripe short suit by Alex Perry. Underneath, she added on a sheer long-sleeve top and tights, completing her look with Western-inspired Christian Louboutin ankle boots.

Ballerini performed her song “Blindsided” as part of “Today’s” Citi Concert Series. Speaking to host Savannah Guthrie, the singer described her latest album, “Patterns,” as a “love letter to self-assessment.”

“I turned 30 and I kind of came up for air, looked at my life,” she said. “I was like, ‘Ok, we made it, this is exciting, new decade, new chapter. What do I love about my life and what do I want to change and what have I contributed to both?’”
