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 am not sure why everyone is so concerned with the cost of her dresses taking away money that could be donated to hurricane sandy relief. She most likely did not purchase the dresses. The designers give the dresses to her because it is free publicity. The dresses are photographed and their names are published. The designer lend the dresses to celebrities for no cost and then often take the dresses back. So those saying it would be okay if only she sold them for charity. She most likely does not have that option.

I really think she should get over herself. She is not as great as she tries to let on she is

I think Carrie looked great in all the dresses. I thought 12 was a bit to much. That said, those of you blaming Carrie should really stop. We don’t know if it was Carrie that chose to wear 12 dresses or if it was the show stylist that requested it. Just like when her and Brad are hosting the show, pretty much everything they say is scripted so it’s it a little unfair to blame them. Also, poking fun of each other is kind of expected. Watch any awards show and you will see that.

Amen Shrimperdan I couldn’t agree with you more. Too many dresses for Carrie. It is way over the top and considering most people are so devastated by the storm and life in general nowadays it completely disgusts me and makes me not care a flick about Carrie Underwood and her self important self. When I hear of her doing some good then I will be impressed. Until then she DISGUSTS ME!

This is a silly trend – just wear one outfit.

She’s as cute as they come and is a dead ringer for Pat Sajack.

That girl looks amazing in anything she wears, she’s beautiful. But for me, hands down the RED one… She looks AMAZING in RED…..

Carrie is awesome and beautiful inside and out. She outdoes Taylor any day. Carrie at least does a variety of music where Taylor sounds like a broken record.

She looks beautiful in anything she wears. Just wish she would cut back on the black eye gunk.
