Country core styles saw a rise in mainstream popularity in 2024, thanks in part to the cultural resonance of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s “Cowboy Carter” album, which debuted in March 2024. Wilson has long styled country core as her signature approach to fashion, infusing an Old West sensibility with modern flair — in July, Wilson put her country stamp on a look from Rahul Mishra’s spring 2021 couture collection.
In recent years, Wilson leveraged her style with collaborations and partnerships with various high-profile brands, including Kendra Scott and Wrangler. Earlier this August, Wrangler and Wilson introduced their fourth collaboration with the fall 2025 collection and campaign.

“Every time I collaborate with Wrangler, we push the boundaries of what ‘country style’ can be,” Wilson said in a statement, referencing the collection and partnership. “This collection brings that classic vintage vibe I love, but with fresh silhouettes and textures that feel completely new. It’s for anyone who wants to walk into a room and make their presence felt.”
