"As much as we love a classic, perfectly tailored suit at an awards show, the daredevils are what really capture our attention. A man can look pretty darn great in a classic tux, but we've seen that before. What we haven't seen recently, at least not on well-documented progenitors of the style like Ralph Lauren? A half-tuxedo, half denim red carpet look."
"It seems that even the most prestigious red carpet in the entire music industry wasn't enough to get Shaboozey to exchange his beloved jeans for a tailored pant. Rather, the rinse-wash denim took center stage. And it wasn't just the tuxedo-denim combo that stole the style show. It was the hat, too. The topper looks like something you might see on some alternate-universe Delta pilot."
Shaboozey won a 2026 Grammy and his outfit drew as much attention as the award. He wore a half-tuxedo, half-denim red carpet look that put rinse-wash denim center stage. He did not exchange his beloved jeans for a tailored pant. A distinctive hat completed the ensemble and resembled something an alternate-universe Delta pilot might wear. The hat featured a turquoise-and-silver thunderbird rather than classic airline wings. The overall combination appeared strange, playful, and attention-grabbing. Shaboozey accepted the gramophone trophy for his and Jelly Roll's Best Country Duo/Group Performance win.
