Country star Dustin Lynch, who is rarely shown without his distinctive cowboy hat on, shocked everyone when he arrived at the awards show without his hat! And yes, he was smokin’ hot.

“I be on my suit and tie,” Dustin captioned an Instagram photo as his followers left hundreds of comments about the transformation. Lots of fans disagreed about whether or not he looked better with or without his hat.

He would go on to share two more pics later in the night, still looking as hot as ever.

And by the sounds of the comments from fans, this just might be a look that Dustin should consider more often, perhaps during his performance on April 4 on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where he will perform his new single, “Small Town Boy.” Dustin will also round out his spring performing as part of Florida Georgia Line’s Dig Your Roots Tour 2017 that finishes up May 6 in Quebec, Canada.
