The "Deeper Well" singer has been making fashion statements all year.

She left an impression at the Ralph Lauren New York Fashion Week show in September by wearing nothing but a statement necklace under her blazer. 

Musgraves wore a cropped black blazer with nothing underneath to the event. She paired it with matching black pants and nodded to her Western influences with statement turquoise bracelets and a necklace featuring a horseshoe. She also wore a belt with a large silver buckle. 

She wore her glossy brown hair down in loose waves, opting for a polished glam look with light brown eyeshadow and bronzed blush, along with a nude lip. She carried a black clutch.

Also in September, Musgraves partnered with Reformation to create a capsule collection inspired by her music and the Deeper Well tour.

The "earthy and pastoral" collection is "engineered for frolicking," per the official description. It features everything from floor-length satin dresses to denim pieces, encapsulating Musgraves' love for the cottage-core aesthetic. 

She previously told PEOPLE that her Deeper Well music video is "for the witches, the cottage girls, the soft girls, the nature ladies." 

"I just love a cottage-core moment," she said.

The "Cardinal" singer often embraces an earthy tone in her performance outfits, including opting to perform barefoot. She performed at Saturday Night Live in March in a blue and white patchwork jacket dress and, notably, no shoes.

For her second performance, she wore a blue dress featuring an asymmetric hemline and plunging neckline. She wore nude knee-high boots to complete this look.

The singer is also no stranger to a more casual, even humorous, fashion moment. In May, she shared an Instagram post of a T-shirt featuring her self-deprecating clapback to a rude comment about her on X (formerly known as Twitter).

"I liked your music but your personality seems s-----," the original post reads. Musgraves replied, "It is."

Musgraves advised her followers to "stay self aware" in the caption of the post.
