Carrie Underwood kicked off tonight’s CMA Awards red carpet in a glittering Theia siren gown that shouted sex appeal. But the show’s host was quick to reveal, “I’m not going to keep this one on all night!” She explained, “I’m supposed to have nine [costume changes] during the show.” And did she ever! From the frothy green Ina Soltani stunner to silver sequined short-shorts ensemble by Roberto de Villacis, a ruffled-up orange Ina Soltani stunner and purple floral embroidered confection, the looks just kept on coming all evening long.

Ever wonder if stars think about their onstage costumes differently than their red carpet fashion? Carrie Underwood certainly does. “I feel like I can wear anything when I’m onstage,” the December cover girl tells Lucky. And that doesn’t just include clothes. Carrie admits, “I love playing around with makeup–it’s trial and error, mostly error.” So where does this fearless fashion philosophy come from? Perhaps from Carrie’s country style icon Dolly Parton. “I would never attempt to pull off Dolly’s wardrobe, but her confidence is enviable. She always makes it work!” But she does like to bring her love of country into her wardrobe, explaining “I like pairing cowboy boots with unexpected things, like cute dresses. You can be ‘country’ and still be stylish–I would wear them regardless of what kind of music I sang.” And while Carrie loves the glitz and the glam onstage, “in my downtime, nothing beats a great pair of sweats.” Her sweats of choice? “Sweatpants from Victoria’s Secret Pink are my main closet staple–they’re affordable, and they make nine-hour bus rides bearable.” To read more on Carrie’s fashion philosophy and shop her wardrobe must-haves, pick up the December issue of Lucky, on newsstands November 4, and visit luckymag.com.
