Every Friday, Wide Open Country rounds up the past week's most stunning fashion statements from the wide world of entertainment. This round of picks includes alternative outfits on the red carpet, looks inspired by Barbie and the best-dressed couple in Americana.
Here are five head-turning looks since last Saturday (July 15).

Social media influencer Andra Gogan wore a fittingly spooky dress to Saturday night's (July 15) world premiere in Anaheim, Calif. of Disney's Haunted Mansion. It suits the event and may influence Halloween party planning for Gogan's followers. For the goths and punks not needing a dress-up party to don all black, this spiderweb gown would look amazing over a long-sleeve, mesh fishnet top.

Though Barbiecore will likely continue to take the high-brow fashion world by storm so long as the film Barbie isn't a flop, not everyone will —or should— take the trend too seriously. In the grand scheme of things, people are dressing up like children's characters because of a movie that, based on its trailer, is very light-hearted. For an example of leaning into the humor of it all, check out Australian entertainment reporter Justin Hill's Ryan Gosling-as-Cowboy Ken getup from Monday's (July 17) Sydney premiere of the film.

For her Tuesday night (July 18) set at Nashville, Tenn.'s City Winery during the CMT Next Women of Country Showcase, Megan Moroney wore a pink dress and white boots that wouldn't have looked out of place at any Barbiecore bachelorette get-together elsewhere in Music City. Therein lies part of her appeal: just as a lot of masculine-presenting country fans dressed like Luke Combs already, Moroney's growing fanbase see someone onstage who'd aesthetically fit right into their friend group.
As for this specific outfit, Moroney's dress came from online retailer For Love and Lemons, while her boots were purchased though Country Outfitter, which offers several styles of white cowgirl boots for under $200.

An alternative fashion icon during her time on NCIS, Pauley Perrette sported all the colors on the rainbow —on her dress and hair— for Tuesday's (July 18) premiere of a film she co-produced, Studio One Forever. It's an attainable look, as there's no shortage of multi-colored dresses on the market that suit any style or budget.
The War and Treaty

Looks served up by the War and Treaty —the married duo of Michael and Tanya Trotter— should be as synonymous with Americana fashion as Jim Lauderdale's Dandy & Rose shirts or Amanda Shire's seemingly endless supply of wacky sunglasses. In this red carpet shot from the Bob Woodruff Foundation's second annual Got Your 6 VetFest (held Saturday (July 15) in Nashville, Tenn.), Tanya stuns in a black, fringe dress and a double-buckled belt. Michael's no less stylish in his campaign hat and bejeweled eyewear combo.
