Miranda Lambert promised to awe us, Kellie Pickler got our attention with her head-turning look, but it was Carrie Underwood who stole the show at Thursday’s CMA Awards, wearing 12 different dresses during her time as cohost.

Arriving in a gorgeous Reem Acra gown, Underwood went on to wear 11 more dresses by designers like Alice + Olivia, Georges Chakra, Sally LaPointe, Tony Ward and more.

Some of our favorites included (from left) a dramatic black-and-gray one-shoulder Ines Di Santo dress with a sexy slit, a strapless embellished red Chagoury Couture number (it’s a good color on her!), a frothy, floral tea-length creation and her performance ensemble, a deep-gray high-low Tsemaye Binitie dress with sheer sleeves.

Considering she also changed her shoes, jewelry and sometimes even hair without a hitch, too, we have to say we’re quite impressed. And we’re left wondering how she pulled it all off! Tell us: Did you watch the CMAs? Did you have a favorite Underwood ensemble?

the only dress that was good was the red carpet dress. the rest were a disaster.

I think Carrie drips of class. All of the dresses are beautiful on her – the red is definitely her color.
Kelly, Carrie and Taylor are good friends. The writers write the monalogue. I notice you did not mention Brad in your hatred comment. It is all part of the show and Taylor thought it was funny and she was in no way offended. I am so sorry you dislike Carrie and she is by no means dumb. Obviously, you have not seen her credentials.

She has the voice of an angel and she has worked very hard sacrificing many things to become a great success. Yes the storm people have their needs but we all need a break from reality……….which is why these shows are so popular. Why can’t both Taylor and Carrie be successful? Why put people down?

I think it’s absolutely absurd that she had to wear that many dresses. All I could think of was the cost factor of it, esspecially with the damage and tragedy that Sandy brought to so many. And to listen to her talk about the victims and the love and prayers for them and giving us the Red Cross information and for us to do what we can…it just seemd like an unconscionable thing to do on her part. Maybe if she auctions them off and donates the money to the Red Cross it won’t be so hard to take. I also couldn’t help notice how the stage for the awards show was kind of subdued and I couldn’t help but wonder if that was done purposely in honor of the victims of the storm. Except of course Taylor Swift’s performance had to be over the top.

Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, dress overkill. I also have had enough of the incessant, nonsensical host chatter. Let’s honor the music.

I love Carrie but what is the point in sooooooo many dress changes.?! I hate to say it but HOLLYWOOD has gone over her head. I like it when she seemed down to earth and not all about the glitz and glamour.

The Red was timeless

The red was stunning

Jennifer, what are you smoking? Taylor Swift better than Carrie Underwood? Have you heard Taylor Swift sing?? She CAN’T.

I love Carrie and I think she is beautiful, and she looks amazing in all of these dresses… but TWELVE?? Does anyone else find this to be a little bit overkill? I’m not usually one to be overly sensitive about these things, but the extravagance of 12 designer gowns in just a few hours seems to contrast starkly with the state of our country’s sluggish economy, especially when the northeast is struggling to cope with the devastation of Hurricane Sandy :( I’m a little put off by this to be honest.
