When you think about Lainey Wilson, the first thing that usually comes to mind is her bell bottoms.\u00a0It’s her signature look.<\/p>\n
She’s asked about it a LOT and she’s talked about how she wanted to have something to set herself apart.<\/p>\n
But there’s another cool angle to it. She wanted to have an iconic “Air Jordan” look. Sort of.<\/p>\n
In the early days of her career, she and her manager were taking a tour of the Country Music Television offices, and while they were admiring the photos of country icons up on the wall, the executive showing them around said, “All the legends . . . you can recognize by their silhouette.”<\/p>\n
This comment stuck with Lainey, so she went all-in on the bell bottom aesthetic, matching it with a wide-brim hat to really stick out.<\/p>\n

if you were to look at a silhouette of all the major country stars, you’d instantly know which one was Lainey.<\/p>\n
She’s also the only female nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the ACM Awards.<\/p>\n
