Charles Kelly of Lady Antebellum’s Wife Speaks Out About The Pressure Of Not Being “Supermodel Size” at Award Shows

Charles Kelly of Lady Antbellum’s wife Cassie shared a heartfelt post on Instagram following the CMA Awards.

In it she talks about the pressure of a being a “36 year old stay at home mom” who “isn’t supermodel size” and finding a dress to wear to award shows when her husband is nominated.  She wrote:

One more pic from last night, because i have to sing the absolute PRAISES of @dolcegabbana…y’all, if I’m being honest being photographed on a red carpet is kind of a mind trip for me. As someone who isn’t a supermodel size, sometimes i immediately go to a place in my head that criticizes every inch of my body. Looking back at photographs can be rough and of course internet trolls can try to tell you that your body isn’t good enough.
So here is where it gets good…@dolcegabbana offered to dress us all for the @cma awards this year (like WHAT?!? Absolute dream!) and i walked into the fitting with a rack of gorgeous couture. Most couture brands only go up to a size 8 😩 but dolce has the most beautiful inclusive sizing and goes up to a size 18!! When i saw this black dress on the rack i absolutely LOVED it but told the stylist that this shape doesn’t look great on my body. Her response? “Ok but this is dolce.” 🤣 Meaning, “yeah but Dolce fits and flatters every woman’s body” TRUE. Truth. I zipped it up and voila. Perfection. I felt AWESOME!

So this is a long post to say thank you, @dolcegabbana for making clothes that love a woman’s body. Thank you for being inclusive in your sizing. Thank you for offering to dress a 36 year old stay at home mom for a red carpet, because i felt absolutely beautiful last night. #dolcegabbana #cmaawards #ladyantebellum
