Keith Urban confuses the 2024 CMA’s red carpet for the Outlet Mall in divorced dad’s fit

Let the mall walk of shame begin and let it start with Keith Urban. The CMA Awards are a big deal and draw a big crowd with big stars performing, presenting and receiving accolades from the Country Music Association. The 58th annual installment took place on November 20 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN, complete with a red carpet that was actually red and welcoming the recipient of multiple CMA Awards himself, Urban. The singer was on hand for the night to perform the multi-nominated song “Liar” with Jelly Roll.

As expected, the walk into the room revealed cowboy hats, boots and a wide array of spiffy suits and sparkly dresses. But not everyone looked good in their dressed-up outfits, and some made the list of worst-dressed stars at the CMA Awards. Grammy winner Urban didn’t look bad, but the wardrobe he chose to accompany his usual center-parted floppy haircut didn’t look good either.

In fact, the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” crooner looked like he’d just missed the awards show after taking Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, his grown-up daughters with Nicole Kidman, on a shopping trip to the local mall.

Although there are signs that Keith Urban’s relationship with wife Nicole Kidman may not last, the two were still married the night of the CMA Awards. Which means there’s no reason the country singer had to dress like a divorced dad trying to look hip. The black T-shirt and jeans are pretty normal for the laid-back guitarist, but the wardrobe items he chose to pair with them went casual cool for not even a little bit in an instant — or the tying of his shoes.

The jacket was lined in a woolen fleece and studded with studs and pockets (we counted at least two, and there may have been two more). Covered in a suede-like material, the shoes featured a stacked rubber heel that tried to be rocker chic but ended up causing Urban’s pants to bunch up around his ankles. It wasn’t bad enough that the man who can shred a guitar like nobody’s business chose a wardrobe worthy of a mall-going dad, but he had to add the poor tailoring to his outfit of many faults .

And yes, Keith Urban’s tattoo-covered hands gave the ensemble an element of rock boy. But there really isn’t enough ink in Nashville to distract the eye from everything else going on. The next time he’s at the mall, he should ask Sunday and Faith to get him a new fit.
