Luke Bryan is dapper in a velvet blazer as the country star hits the BMI Country Awards red carpet

He was set to open the show performing his current single, What Makes You Country.

But before taking the stage at the BMI Country Awards on Tuesday night, Luke Bryan hit the red carpet with his wife of 11 years, Caroline Boyer.

The 42-year-old American Idol judge looked dapper in a dark velvet blazer for his red carpet turn.

Luke wore the jacket over a gray shirt and black pants.

He accessorized with a knit tie and a medallion around his neck, awarded to his song Fast. 

Meanwhile his wife Caroline showed off her gorgeous gams in a LBD with a star adornment on the front.

Her platinum blonde tresses were worn back in a low bun.
