WORST Kacey Musgraves in Ralph Lauren
Did she know where she was going? This is a red carpet event, not a daytime country festival. An unfortunate waste of a beautiful skirt. A bralette top, a bolero jacket, and a bolo tie around the neck would have done that skirt justice. pic.twitter.com/vMd01vvtUo
