Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, may have a future fashion designer in their midst.

Akins shared a photo from the family's recent trip to Montana in which the couple's 5-year-old daughter, Willa Gray, decided to get creative and transform a camouflage-print jacket into an elegant gown, wrapping the coat around her and smiling happily with the results.

"Maybe it’s just me, but I think it's pretty brilliant that my 5 year old figured out how to make a men’s Sitka coat look like a camo runway dress," Lauren wrote in an Instagram post.
