It’s no secret that I love some Carrie Underwood. I even declared her to be my “girl crush” in a post earlier this year.
So Carrie (we’re best friends, so I can call her by her first name) and Brad Paisley hosted the CMA Awards on November 11 (which was my 27th birthday, by the way). Carrie had quite a few wardrobe changes during the three hour show, so I thought we’d discuss all of her gorgeous outfits here today. (They aren’t necessarily in the correct order.)
1. Her red carpet dress, a hand-embroidered Theia gown
2. Her opening dress
3. Her Cowboy Casanova performance outfit
4. A beautiful, sweet gown
5. Another, more edgy, gown
6. Beautiful orange ruffles
7. Beautiful green ruffles and layers
8. Sequin goodness for the close of the show
A look at some of my favorites.
My personal favorite is the orange, ruffled, one-shoulder dress. Which one is your favorite? (I numbered the dresses for your convenience.)
Ashley says
im right there with you! girl crush, and the orange dress 🙂 haha
Maggie says
So much fun! Is #5 Missoni? It kind of has that look to it. Personally I wasn’t a big fan of her red carpet dress– I don’t really care for geometric shapes like that. My favorites would be her opening of the show dress and that cowboy cassanova performance outfit. Can you believe that shy girl from American Idol was swinging her hips in booty shorts?!?! Love it. Love her. (Love you!).
Natalie says
YOU are GOOD, girl!!!
I love all the dresses — I love how they changed her hair for each look too – wow! I can’t imagine what it was like being backstage for that!!
My favorite is dress 4!
Christina says
i love carrie too! my faves were 2 and 5… and 1… oh and 6…
Samma says
We have the same taste! That is my fave as well, also the short metallic with the sleeves. If only I could have her makeover from American Idol until now 🙂 Although, I have a sneaking suspicion that she is not the biggest fan of eating. I read an InStyle article about her a couple years ago, where she was tearing into a Weight Watchers bar at 5 PM, and it was the first time she had eaten all day. I think eating a sandwich or two might be in order!
Rachel says
LOVE this post! So hard to pick just one favorite…her opening dress was so different and pretty, but I think #4 is my favorite.
But she pulls off the orange so well! I could never wear that much orange and look that good. I love Carrie 🙂
Have a great Friday!
hlb says
I would die for a chance to wear the orange and green dressses. Pure perfection.
Shasta says
How gorgeous is she? I absolutely adore her and her music. She is a class act!
TidyMom says
I ♥♥♥ Carrie Underwood! I think she is SO gorgeous, sweet, sincere, not to mention talented celebrity out there today!! I can’t pick a favorite dress – she’d be gorgeous in a paper bag! LOL

I loved all the dresses except her performance number. I felt the sequined hotpants were distracting…But I adored the other looks. She loves great in bright colors… and p.s. I adore her hair..so jealous.
Becky says
Didn’t you leave out a great red (or maybe hot pink?) one shoulder dress? I think I remember that one early on in the show and loved it! It was hard to keep track, though, she had SOOO many!
Lauren Kelly says
It’s a toss-up between #2 and #4 but I think I’m going with #4. She looks absolutely amazing in ALL of them!!!!
MeganTree says
My favorite is either #4 or #2. I really didn’t like her peformance outfit, it looked like underwear. Those were some beautiful outfits!
AEOT says
Love the orange dress as well as the gold sequin number. The performance dress- not so much. Put on some clothes, dear; you are too classy for that. Though, my husband didn’t mind. He adores her (especially her legs!!)
Maria says
I would kill for those legs!! I would like to find out her workout routine!!
Kelly says
That orange dress is to die for! I would wear that every day, just because 🙂
Ally says
I would kill for her legs–and arms! I have sausage arms. I love the sequins!
dee says
I’m with you too. The orange is awesome!
Stephanie says
LOVE.HER!!!! She looks amazing in everything!!!
Maria says
Orange dress by far! It is my favorite color. And I love the shoes she wore with the orange dress.
Lynsey says
Too funny, I did a post on all of Carrie’s dresses as well. I’m right there with you on the girl crush.
My favorite is either the orange dress or the green dress. I wish I had her arms and legs!
Elizabeth says
Thanks for posting this. I missed out on the show, so I didn’t get to see all of her looks. My vote would be for #2, what she wore to open the show. I also like orange too! It looks good with her hair and skintone.
Jenny from Lucky in Love says
I definitely agree…orange for sure. I’m not a huge orange person myself…but it looks fabulous on her 🙂
Miss M says
Have to go with the orange because that is a tough color to pull off, and she looks amazing! Does she have a Reese Witherspoon expression on her face in that pic? So pretty. I love how her hair is styled with the dress too.
BroncoMom says
Carrie Underwood looks fab-u-lous in everything she wears!!
My favorite is #4. She looks well put together but still in a fun design!!
Vee says
2, 4, and 5. Holy crap, wow. Also, is it just me, or is her hair always perfect and flawless? I love it in every picture.
Kirby @ Good Gals Inc says
She looks amazing!!! I’m obsessed with her hair. When mine grows back out to that length, I think I’m taking one of these pictures of inspiration!
Desiree says
I have to go with the orange dress (being a huge Clemson fan and all) and who doesn’t adore a sassy ruffle?!
USCEmily says
I love her in #5. the other ones are fabulous, as well, but something draws me to #5- not sure what!
Rachel says
I loved the green one!! The orange one is great too! She is so gorgeous!!
East Coast Roman Holiday - Cori says
LOVE me some #2!!! Wish I had her killer legs in #3 too!
j says
I love #2 because not everyone could pull that dress of but Carrie totally looks amazing in it!
Elizabeth says
I liked ALL of them but I really liked the sweet dress and the green ruffles, but I did think it was kind of over the top to have so many dresses!
skinnyrunner says
Sparkly short #2 is my fav. She is so adorably cute that she can wear and own it all. love her!
Wendy @ A Southern Accent says
I actually like the opening dress one the best – didn’t much care for the red carpet one thought. She really can wear anything! I was on a plane with this was on TV, but I’m hoping to find it online somewhere this weekend so I can watch! I love Carrie too!
Cee says
I am not a huge fan of Carrie Underwood but I must admit she has great style! I love the orange dress and the green as well!
Abbie says
I have to go with #2!
christi says
i LOVE the orange dress. carrie is the type of girl that looks amazing in anything. i need to know her secret … vegetarian and working out? good overall woman.
Perfectly Imperfect says
Totally also have a girl crush on her! She always looks amazing. My favorite is the second dress. Followed closely by the orange one. Lust…
Ms. M says
I love number s 6 & 7! She is so beautiful! And so excited for Ms. Swift and her phenomenal night!
Carrie says
I love her green dress. She is so gorgeous and has the best style. She looks good in everything!
Emily says
I love the orange and the green!
Gretchen says
I love the orange and the green, she looks precious; BUT, I hear she’s quite the “diva”.
Es says
Number 2 is my favorite. I love how it looks modern and classy at the same time.
Emily says
I love them all cant choose but i love the performance outfit she looked HOTT
FYI you forgot 1 dress it was the 3rd one she had on during the show and it was a pink one it was cute
Merci New York says
I just love the second (opening) dress! It’s almost twenties-esque! And her hair looks so chic.
Jess says
I adore Carrie.
4 and 6 were my favorites.
Callie says
LOVE LOVE LOVE the orange dress. I first and foremost would love to have Carrie’s hair… or maybe her hairstylist… or BOTH! But I would also LOVE to have her wardrobe! AH…MAZING!
Mrs. Dew says
OMG I love her so much! She is gorgeous and has an amazing voice! LOVE HER!
Sara says
Love number 2 and 7. Both great dresses that I think I could pull off! She’s so gorgeous and they are all great looks for her.
Suzette says
Seriously, I just think she is to die for gorgeous!!! I loved pretty much all of them, but ESPECIALLY that orange ruffled dress! She definitely wore that dress well! She just seems so genuine and not a flaw to her!
*I meant to tell you happy birthday earlier, I remember you mentioning 11/11! Hope you had a great day! Happy Belated Birthday Erin!
Katie says
#6 hands down! And she has the cutest figure ever.
Megan says
The orange is my favorite one too!!! 🙂 So beautiful!
Jackie says
Wow, she is stunning! I love the opening silver dress and the orange ruffle dress. They are both so fun!!
Jill says
On her, I’d say that they all look fabulous! I love #3… very hot! But for my and for her, I too like #6 the orange number. So pretty and I LOVE orange. I’m actually wearing orange today too!!!
Amelia says
I LOVE LOVE LOVE her! 2 and 6 were my favs 🙂
Mojito Maven says
see this is a bad thing for me because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way she looks and dresses, but I’ve heard she is the biggest bitch and DIVA EVER and therefore that just ruins everything for me 🙁
Sigh…
BUT I do LOVE the orange dress! Yummy!
NCF says

Regina says
That orange dress is amazing!! Any word on who it is/where to get it?
Krissy says
I loved her in all of them, but especially the orange! She is my absolute FAVORITE too! 🙂 Too bad she couldn’t be my real life bff, we grew up about 60 miles away from each other! 😉
