Miranda Lambert is bringing a little Las Vegas glitz back home to Texas!
The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame in Fort Worth is preparing to unveil a brand-new exhibition dedicated to the Texas native and country music superstar. “Miranda Lambert: Velvet Rodeo” will officially open November 7, 2026, as the inaugural exhibition in the museum’s new Icons Gallery.
Created in collaboration with Lambert, the exhibition will feature the one-of-a-kind costumes she wore during her Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency, which ran from 2022 through 2024. Fans will have an opportunity to see the elaborate Western-inspired outfits up close, including the intricate details that helped bring a little Texas attitude to the Las Vegas Strip.
And there’s a pretty special story behind those outfits.
According to Lambert, the inspiration for her residency wardrobe actually came from a previous visit to the National Cowgirl Museum. After seeing the historic Western clothing on display, she photographed several pieces and shared them with her stylist, Tiffany Gifford. Together, they combined those classic Western influences with the flashy style of Elvis Presley during his heyday.
Now, the very outfits inspired by the museum are coming back to become part of its collection.
Lambert, who was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2021, has long embraced her Western roots. Beyond her successful music career, she’s an accomplished horsewoman and active mounted shooting competitor.
The new Icons Gallery is part of the museum’s 16,000-square-foot expansion, which will introduce additional exhibitions and experiences celebrating the women who helped shape the American West.
The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is located in Fort Worth’s Cultural District and houses more than 4,000 artifacts, with more than 260 women recognized in its Hall of Fame.
The museum will reopen to the public at noon on Saturday, November 7, following a temporary closure beginning October 19 to prepare for the expansion.
