Kelsea Ballerini arrived in New York City for the screening of her short film “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” on Thursday, taking a vibrant approach to cocktail dressing in a long-sleeved purple minidress by Versace.
The dress had a cutout on the bodice, and was paired with sheer tights and black stiletto heels.

Ballerini typically wears her hair down, but for this particular occasion, opted for a tight bun.
“Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” is a short film Ballerini wrote and directed featuring songs from her EP, which is accompanied by her re-released EP “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good).” Both projects were inspired by her divorce from Australian singer-songwriter Morgan Evans.

Ballerini also debuted and performed her new single “How Do I Do This.”
The New York stop was the last of Ballerini’s three-city tour for the film.
She kicked off the screening and Q&A in Los Angeles on Aug. 1. For the first event, Ballerini wore a minimalist black Saint Laurent playsuit with a scalloped border trim and crystal embellishments. She completed her black ensemble with a pair of rosette-adorned sparkling heels.
On Tuesday for the screening and Q&A, she wore a sleeveless cropped green turtleneck with a crystal-embellished neckline and a matching pair of tailored green trousers from Cinq à Sept. She completed the look with green crystallized pumps.
Ballerini is becoming well-known for her fashion choices. This year she co-hosted the CMT Awards alongside fellow country singer Kane Brown, where she had multiple outfit changes throughout the program. In March 2022, she was also named a brand ambassador for cosmetics brand Covergirl.
