Since releasing her debut studio album, 2016's "Hero," the native Texan has paved her way to an ultra-successful career in music — she's won five ACM Awards, another five CMA Awards and a Grammy to boot. She's also built a reputation as one of the most fashionable singers who loves to take chances on the red carpet. Wonderwall.com is taking a look at Maren's best and worst fashion moments, starting with this recent look…

The Grammys are one of the most important nights in music, so we were surprised by this casual look Maren Morris rocked at the 2022 event: a boring snakeskin-print knee-length frock with a plunging neckline, a slit up the center and a lacy black bra peeking out that only added to the casual vibe, making it feel more appropriate for a date night than music's biggest night.

While we commend her effort, the minidress Maren Morris wore to the 2017 CMT Artists of the Year event was a miss in our books. The pale pink frock by Raisa & Vanessa decked out in fluffy feathers just had way too much going on. But her pink platform peep-toe heels were to die for!

It was cute… in theory. Maren Morris attended the 2022 Academy of Country Music Awards in a vintage asymmetrical frock by Dior.

One of our favorite looks the country music star has ever worn? That would be this striped gown from GIAMBA by Giambattista Valli that was equal parts sexy and sweet thanks to a plunging V-neckline and oversized sleeves. Maren wore it to Clive Davis's 2019 Pre-Grammy Gala.

The ultra-talented songstress arrived in a glitzy silver gown by Julien Macdonald that she paired with heels by Casadei and drop earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. What threw us off, unfortunately, was the overwhelming number of geometric cut-outs and crystal embellishments.

The "Just for Now" singer-songwriter attended the event in a strapless metallic silver gown by Francesco Scognamiglio featuring a ruffled hem and bodice, a sweetheart neckline, lace detailing and plenty of peekaboo panels. The frock, combined with those necklaces and those embellished heels, just felt like too much.
