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?

I like the red one!

12 dresses is overkill

Gennifer – She would probably say the same about you. If she is too kind to do that, I would be happy to do it for her!

Hey Lilu…why don’t you just make your comment about the article and not what anyone else says.

Does anyone realize that Carrie does not own the dresses. They are just borrowed from the designers. Any of the dresses that are worn are borrowed. It is the designers the supply them, not the stars. It is like that in all of the award shows. Yes, we were hit hard with Sandy, and I have some friends in New York that were effectred, but don’t get down on the singers. If anyone heard, they did keep mentioning about the devistation, it was not forgotten. Chill out people.

Countrygal, I could not agree more! You beat me to it.

I love Carrie and Brad as hosts. That is one of the main reasons I watch the show. They have such a fun chemistry. I loved all her dresses, especially the black one with the slit. She brings such class to country music.

This is not a comment against the CMAs but all award shows – quit it already with all the outfit changes! The show should be about the talent being rewarded not about how many different dresses the presenter can wear. Just pick one awesome one and stick with it and let the spotlight go to the performers and award recipients!

The dresses are beautiful and Carrie is in great shape, but her skin should not be darker than her hair! She is a classy person but that look is tacky, she should return to something more natural.

The show was planned long before Sandy happened so the comments about the hurricane don’t really apply. The show kept urging people to donate to the Red Cross and brought up the suffering of people affected by the storm. Being one of those people, I was certainly not offended in any way by the show and the beautiful clothing people war. Each female performer changed clothing. The fashions make the show more entertaining.
