Carrie Underwood’s Dress Dance

By Amy

The 2011 Country Music Awards were held last Wednesday night at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.  Country music super star Carrie Underwood co-hosted the event along with Brad Paisley.  However, all eyes were on the 28 year old Underwood as she dazzled and shined in 11 looks, (yes that means shoes changes too!) throughout the evening.

Starting the night off in an all gold sequened floor length gown, Underwood sets the bar high for the rest of her dresses. Underwood went from from glam to edgy in her next chained bustier ensemble. Keeping with the short theme, both Miss Piggy and Underwood looked stunning in their dresses, matching platforms and all!

 

Making the switch back to long, Underwood opts for a more feminine silhouette and a playful print, and check out those pink lace-up pumps! For the performance of her hit song "Remind Me" performed with co-host Brad Paisley, Underwood chose an elegant black and white printed strapless gown with a thigh-high slit. Underwood's next wardrobe change instantly won my vote for "Best Shoe" of the night. Her black and white crystal studded peep toe pumps stole the show paired with her flirty white asymmetrical dress.

Keeping us on the edge of our seats, Underwood's next outfit change included a cropped tuxedo jacket with box pleat shorts. My favorite shoes must have been Carrie's too; she rocks them on stage for the second time of the evening! Up next is a short one-shoulder coral dress with a dramatic tulle overlay, and gladiator inspired silver stilettos. Looking more like a Greek Goddess than a country singer, Underwood's plunging neckline and open cut-out sleeves was another crowd pleaser.

Rounding out the night, Underwood looked dazzling in a sequined coffee colored dress with cap sleeves and square neckline. Taking a break from dresses, Underwood paired a black satin organza ruffled top with a copper and black sequined skirt.Black slingback peep toe pumps and drop earrings completed her look.
