“Reba is totally hands-on with everything,” the stylist tells PEOPLE about creating McIntyre’s ACM wardrobe. “She knows what works for her body, and she wants to feel comfortable and look beautiful at the same time.”
The star changed her expression while performing her new single “I Can’t” at the awards ceremony. She embraced her country charm by wearing a long black coat over a sparkly silver dress with fringes at the hemline and pairing it with her simple hair and makeup. This is a nod to this song.

“The look of the performance complements the song,” says Malakpour. “The song has very moody lyrics about thunder and rain, and the look reflects that vibe with tattered fringe, leather, and suede. But there’s still a bit of Reba’s signature shine. Masu!”
While McIntyre certainly has a unique style, Malakpour says she’s “open to trying things and she looks great in everything she tries on.”
“She’s a stylist’s dream!” she added.
