Kelsea Ballerini and MacKenzie Porter walked the red carpet on Wednesday night in matching Balenciaga gowns.
The form-fitting dress they both wore, called the Swimsuit Gown, is blue with long sleeves, a back cutout, and a floor-length skirt that extends into a train. It retails for $3,550.
Ballerini paired her dress with see-through heels, matching gloves, and a straight hairstyle, while Porter opted for loose waves, a blue clutch, and no gloves.

Porter wore the Balenciaga gown throughout the night, but Ballerini eventually changed into two other outfits.
