Maren Morris dazzles in plunging gown for performance at ACM Awards after arriving with new husband

Maren Morris brought the glitz in a plunging gown for her performance on Sunday at the Academy Of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

The 28-year-old singer showed her cleavage and toned legs with a high thigh slit while singing her latest single Rich.

Maren lived up to Sin City expectations with large letters spelling the song title and confetti.

The Texas native also stunned on the carpet that she walked with her new husband Ryan Hurd, 31.

Maren shimmered in a two-tone dress with a green front and purple back.

She completed her carpet ensemble with open-toed collar heels, and complemented both her red carpet, and her on-stage looks with a coordinating beauty look, courtesy of makeup artist Allan Avendano for Kat Von D Beauty.  

'All of Maren’s looks for the evening were all amazing metallic pieces that sort of had a 70s vibe,' Allan said of the singer's stunning look.

'In true country form, my motto was, "Go Big or Go Home!" I wanted to take references from the late 70s and early 80s and give her makeup a Studio 54 vibe so we went with a lot of metallics on the eyes, with glowing skin and a nude lip.'

Focusing on a bold, metallic eye, Allan used four shades of the Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadow, and then finished the look off with a perfect winged liner using the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner.

Ryan, meanwhile, looked dapper in a blue jacket with black lapel, black trousers and white shirt with black skinny tie.

He was waiting for Maren right after her performance that had Miranda Lambert singing along.

It was the first awards show for Maren and Ryan as a married couple.

They tied the knot just a few weeks ago on March 24 in Nashville.

'I think this is the most fun month of my life,' she told People on Saturday during rehearsals for the awards show at the MGM Grand Arena.

 'We went on a two-week honeymoon. I kind of felt like I got to be a newlywed in that sense,' she said.

'Honestly I'm not hardcore touring until May so I do have like a month. But I won't be relaxing, I'll be recording. It never stops. But we find our pockets of time,' Maren added.

The newlywed also said life hasn't changed all that much since the wedding.

'I think the weight of it hits you when we said our vows to each other in front of our friends and family. It's like, I'm promising forever to someone in front of all of our loved ones, so that's a huge deal, but as far as our relationship it doesn't feel different. We'll always be best friends,' Maren said.
