Reba McEntire may be most comfortable in jeans these days, but there was a time when she was known for her show-stopping outfits almost as much as her incredible voice. The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum is paying tribute to Reba’s fashionable stagewear in Reba McEntire: Put On Your Red Dress, Baby, a spotlight exhibit featuring the attention-grabbing red gown she wore on the 1993 Country Music Association Awards telecast. The exhibit will run now through June 13, 2010.

Designed by Reba’s longtime stylist, Sandi Spika, the silk and jersey gown, with its plunging neckline and strategically placed sequins, shocked some viewers when Reba wore it for her performance of “Does He Love You” with Linda Davis. Reba later said, “I got more press off that dress than if I’d won Entertainer of the Year.”

Reba’s latest album, Keep on Loving You  was released in August. In 2010, she will co-headline a national tour with George Strait.
