Reba McEntire, 68, Turned Heads in ‘Spectacular’ White Suit with Plunging Neckline

In a recent dazzle of charisma and style, Reba McEntire, 68, turned heads in a gorgeous white suit that featured a plunging neckline. McEntire showcased her stunning outfit in an Instagram video that provided a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes action of her and fellow “The Voice” judges—Chance the Rapper, John Legend, and Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney)—rehearsing for a group performance.

The video, which also featured clips of McEntire speaking about the rehearsal’s pleasant atmosphere and the collaborative spirit among the judges, highlighted the unity and creativity that drove their performance. Footage of the rehearsal, which preceded the live performance, showed Legend dressed in a cream-colored suit, while Chance the Rapper, Smyers, and Mooney opted for a mix of olive, beige, and taupe outfits.

McEntire, however, stole the show, embodying elegance in her chic all-white pantsuit, paired with silver sparkly dangling earrings. Fans were quick to voice their admiration for the star’s outfit on McEntire’s Instagram post, with comments overflowing with praise for her bold choice.

One fan exclaimed, “You look stunning in white. Applauding your stylist and designer [for] such a spectacular outfit!” Another gushed, “Oookkk, but can we talk about the outfit?! You’re a babe!🔥🤍,” and another affectionately remarked, “Ree-ba, that white suit. 🥰😉.”

This instance isn’t the first time Reba McEntire has caught the public’s attention with her choice of attire. At the 1993 CMA Awards, she famously caused a stir with a low-plunge neckline red dress; a look that was considered scandalous in the country music industry for the times.

“I was pretty, you know, straight-laced, and I’m sure it shocked everybody that I would do a low dress. It was pretty scandalous for me,” McEntire recalled to a media outlet last year. She further explained that when she first tried on the garment, she expressed concern that the dress was too revealing to her stylist, Sandi Spika.

Spika, in turn, reassured her that it would not come across as such by the time McEntire needed to wear it for her performance. However, regardless of these reassurances, the dress remained provocatively low-cut, a detail McEntire humorously highlighted by recounting her family’s and Kris Kristofferson’s reactions.

“I walked down the hall […] and Kris Kristofferson is walking towards me. And he goes, ‘Wow, you look beautiful tonight!’ […] Daddy comes over to me. He said, ‘Reba, did you have that dress on backwards?’” McEntire divulged. Despite the shock it caused, McEntire never regretted wearing the iconic outfit, which she notably wore again in 2018, proving its timeless appeal and her fearless fashion.

Years ago, the bold fashionista who is “a foodie,” loves entertainment, and is happy in her “own skin” described her style as “tough-sexy” in a 2015 interview where she discussed her business ventures, interests, and fashion sense.

Based on revelations she shared during the interview, it becomes clear that McEntire’s approach to fashion reflects her roots and individuality. “I’m not a girly girl. I was born on a working cattle ranch. I was one of daddy’s hired hands […] and so I was just one of the boys, out working all the time. That’s the way I am, I like to go the tough but sexy look also,” McEntire shared.

“Comfortable boots is the one thing that makes me feel—I don’t know, confident; it’s sturdy, it reminds me of my roots, it keeps me grounded,” she mentioned while underscoring the significance of a little heel which she said helps with her posture and big hair.

Through her vast history with fashion and her recent appearance in an all-white pantsuit, McEntire continues to captivate fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.

As previously reported on February 12:

She shared a stunning photograph of herself dressed in a powder blue fur coat by Pinto Ranch, denim jeans from Dillard’s, and country-style knee-high royal blue boots by Old Gringo Boots, paying homage to both her roots in country music and her flair for contemporary fashion.

The response to McEntire’s post was overwhelmingly positive, with followers quickly expressing their admiration in the comments section.

Remarks such as, “Hello Queen! We see you and we are here for it!!” while another commenter agreed,“Looking like royalty!” A third added, “It’s giving western mob wife and I’m here for itttt!”

Even rapper T-Pain took notice, sharing the post on Twitter with the caption, “The whole club lookin at herrrrrrrrr [sic],” which McEntire acknowledged with a retweet.

Despite the widespread acclaim, not all feedback was positive. One Instagram user expressed disagreement with the star’s style, writing, “Not a good look.”

Reba McEntire had a special role in this year’s Super Bowl as she performed the National Anthem, wearing a different ensemble that garnered mixed reactions. Some critiques touched upon her alleged plastic surgery, linking it to her performance quality.

McEntire’s fashion journey, from her early days of wearing Levi’s on a ranch to her search for the style that suited her best, reflects her evolution. In a 2001 interview during a New York fashion show, a reporter asked about her favorite fashion brand. McEntire replied, “Levi’s.” “Growing up on a ranch, that was all I ever wore,” she said.

In 2018, she revealed that she mostly wore Justin Boots. However, she sometimes still has to sport high heels, especially during awards ceremonies.

After her Super Bowl performance, the range of responses on platforms like X highlighted diverse viewer tastes and expectations. Critiques of Reba McEntire’s beauty enhancements and performance quality were vocal, yet many praised her rendition of the national anthem, pointing out her professionalism and composure.

Critiques and praises were equally vocal on platforms like X, where one user did not hold back about McEntire’s possible beauty enhancements impacting her performance, stating, “She can hardly sing through that plastic surgery. Got to bring back Stapleton that was the best I ever seen.” Another shared a similar sentiment, “Sorry, I love Reba but I thought she was horrible.” Some thought her performance was incredible and said it was how the national anthem should always be sung.

Yet, amidst the critiques, many of McEntire’s fans highlighted her expertise and composure. In support of her, a tweet read, “You can just tell that Reba is enjoying this moment and not stressed about how it lives up or if she’ll make a mistake. This is a pro.” Such supportive messages underline the admiration for McEntire’s professionalism and her stature in the music industry.

The conversation around the performance also included mentions of its duration, with some noting it as one of the “shortest” anthem performances in recent Super Bowl history—a point of contention that added to the spectrum of reactions.

While McEntire’s Super Bowl LVIII anthem was a moment to remember, it is not her “first rodeo” with national anthems. McEntire’s storied journey in music began long before, with a notable performance at the National Finals Rodeo 50 years ago. Music on X called McEntire and the Super Bowl a “match made in heaven,” to which McEntire replied: “Aww thanks.”
