Sierra Ferrell is one of the most captivating voices in roots music today, infusing every note with a beautifully strange magic that sets her apart. Since the release of Long Time Coming, her acclaimed debut with Rounder Records, the West Virginia-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has skyrocketed, earning the Emerging Act of the Year award at the Americana Honors & Awards. Along the way, she’s collaborated with artists like Margo Price, The Black Keys, Shakey Graves, Zach Bryan, Diplo, and Old Crow Medicine Show—all while mesmerizing audiences across North America and Europe with her high-energy, dazzling live performances. Now, with her latest album, Trail of Flowers, the Nashville-based artist pushes her sound even further, blending rich storytelling with a newfound urgency and wisdom that makes this record truly unforgettable.
Dressing Up for Sierra Ferrell
I first discovered Sierra Ferrell on TikTok, and the funny thing is, I noticed her style before I even got into her music. There’s something so effortlessly enchanting about the way she dresses—playful, theatrical, and full of vintage charm. It’s the perfect reflection of her sound, a mix of bluegrass, folk, and old-time country with a dreamy, otherworldly quality.
Now that she’s coming to DC in September, I think I might just have to go. And let’s be honest—this is definitely the kind of concert that calls for dressing up. Sierra’s aesthetic is so distinct that it inspires me to put together something equally whimsical, blending a touch of prairie romance with a hint of vintage folk magic.
So, naturally, I’m already considering my outfit options. If you’re also heading to a Sierra Ferrell concert—or just love her vintage-meets-bohemian vibe—here’s my dream concert look, packed with style inspiration and a few must-have pieces!

The Dress: Gingham Print Babydoll Mini Dress
Sierra Ferrell’s style often features classic patterns like gingham and florals, giving her outfits that timeless, down-home charm. A gingham print babydoll mini dress is the perfect mix of playful and vintage, with a silhouette that feels feminine and a little bit folksy. Babydoll dresses have that effortless flow that makes them comfortable for dancing and twirling all night long—because let’s be real, you can’t go to a Sierra Ferrell concert and not twirl at least once.
If you’re going for a more dramatic look, a gingham maxi dress with puffed sleeves could also work beautifully. Think prairie-core meets cottage-core, a style that Sierra herself would definitely approve of!
The Details: Strawberry Iron-On Patches
One of the most charming aspects of Sierra’s aesthetic is how she personalizes her clothing with quirky, unexpected details. I love the idea of adding strawberry iron-on patches to my outfit—whether on a denim jacket, a bag, or even sewn onto the dress itself. Strawberries have such a nostalgic, countryside feel, and they add a little extra whimsy to an already fun look.
If DIY isn’t your thing, you can also look for vintage-inspired pieces that already have embroidery or patches for that customized effect.
The Boots: Women’s Cowboy Boots with Colorful Bows
No Sierra Ferrell-inspired outfit would be complete without a great pair of cowboy boots. While classic brown or white boots are always a solid choice, I love the idea of going for something a little extra—like boots with colorful bows. The contrast between the ruggedness of cowboy boots and the sweetness of the bows just screams Sierra’s playful-meets-theatrical vibe.
Cowboy boots are also perfect for standing and dancing at a concert while still looking stylish. If bows aren’t your thing, you can also look for boots with embroidery, fringe, or metallic details to bring in a little extra flair.
The Accessories: Strawberry Earrings & Gingham Hair Bow Clips
Accessories are where you can really lean into the whimsy. Since I’m already adding strawberries as a detail to my outfit, why not go all in with a pair of strawberry earrings? They’re cute, playful, and add a pop of color.
To tie the whole look together, I’m also eyeing gingham hair bow clips—because if there’s ever a time to wear bows in your hair, it’s at a Sierra Ferrell concert. Whether you go for a single statement bow or a few scattered throughout your hair, it adds that perfect finishing touch.
The Bag: Vegan Fringed Crossbody Bag with Studs
A concert calls for a practical but stylish bag, and a vegan fringed crossbody bag with studs feels just right for this outfit. The fringe adds that Western-inspired element, while the studs bring a little bit of edge. Plus, a crossbody style is always ideal for concerts—it keeps your hands free for drinks, dancing, and taking all the cute concert selfies.
The Scent: Jo Malone Wild Bluebell Cologne Spray
No outfit is complete without the perfect scent, and for this night, I’m thinking Jo Malone’s Wild Bluebell Cologne. It’s fresh, floral, and just a little bit woodsy—like walking through a dreamy Appalachian meadow. Sierra Ferrell’s music has this magical, ethereal quality, and I love the idea of wearing a perfume that captures that same energy.
If you’re looking for other Appalachian-inspired scents, something with hints of honeysuckle, moss, or cedarwood would also be a great choice.
The Lips: Nature Republic Honey Melting Lip
Concert makeup needs to be low-maintenance but still give a little something special. The Nature Republic Honey Melting Lip is the perfect balance—it’s moisturizing, slightly glossy, and has just enough pigment to bring color to the lips without being high-maintenance. Plus, the honey element feels very on-theme for a folk-inspired look.
If you want something with a more dramatic effect, you could go for a bold red lip to channel that vintage country singer aesthetic.
The Jewelry: Howlite Ring
Finally, a howlite ring is the perfect subtle statement piece to finish the look. Howlite is often associated with calm energy and creativity—two things that feel very in tune with Sierra Ferrell’s whole vibe. A chunky vintage ring or even a turquoise piece would also work beautifully.
Bringing the Magic to Life
Putting together this outfit has me even more excited about the concert. Sierra Ferrell’s music isn’t just something you listen to—it’s something you experience, and dressing up for the show feels like part of the magic.
This look brings together all the things I love: vintage charm, playful details, and a little bit of theatrical flair. Whether it’s the gingham dress, the strawberry accessories, or the statement cowboy boots, each piece feels like it could belong in Sierra’s whimsical world.
