Reba Gets "Un-Dressed" at Country Music Hall Of Fame

Reba McEntire’s dress from her performance of “Does He Love You” at the 1993 CMA Awards is exhibited at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.

“Reba McEntire: Put On Your Red Dress, Baby,” a spotlight exhibit featuring the attention-grabbing red gown worn by superstar Reba McEntire on the 1993 Country Music Association Awards telecast, is open now at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn.

The exhibit will be on view through June 13.

Designed by McEntire’s longtime stylist, Sandi Spika, the silk and jersey gown, with its plunging neckline and strategically placed sequins, shocked some viewers when the Oklahoma native wore it for her performance of “Does He Love You” with Linda Davis.

Reba later said, “I got more press off that dress than if I’d won Entertainer of the Year.”

In the three decades since her 1976 debut single was released, McEntire has become one of the most popular and acclaimed artists in American music. The Chockie native has sold more than 40 million records and won dozens of awards, including Grammy Awards in 1986 and 1993 for Best Country Vocal Performance, Female, and Best Country Vocal Collaboration, respectively; and four consecutive Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year awards (1984-87). In 1986, she was honored as CMA’s Entertainer of the Year.
