Take a Sneak Peek at Carrie Underwood’s Latest Olay Commercial

Carrie Underwood is ready to lather up in her latest Olay commercial — but she’s skipping the soap and opting for cleanser. The singer — Wednesday night’s CMA Awards hostess — is breaking down beauty myths in her latest campaign for Olay, which debuts tonight during the CMA Awards on ABC.

“For my beauty prep, I like my skin to be really clean, but ‘squeaky clean’ isn’t the goal — that sound actually means your soap left residue behind on your skin,” she says in a release. “If you don’t have a healthy palette to work on, it won’t matter what you do. My skincare routine is … all about proper cleansing and sunscreen.”

Carrie Underwood Cuts Bangs: What Do You Think?

She’s stuck to a fairly signature, side-swept style for years, but Carrie Underwood really let her hair down over the weekend, debuting big bangs at the AARP Drive to End Hunger Benefit Concert in L.A.

Stepping on stage in a glimmering long-sleeved mini dress by Zuhair Murad, the country star paid tribute to birthday boy Tony Bennett and helped to promote his new album, Duets II (she joins him for a take on “It Had to Be You” on the record). Stevie Wonder performed during the show, held at the Staples Center, too.

Underwood is the second big star to cut bangs this season; last week, Bridesmaids actress Rose Byrne added them to her brunette do, too. Is this a fall hair trend in the making?

Which of Carrie Underwood’s Three ACM Awards Looks Was Your Fave?

Talk about a quick-change artist! Though she didn’t take home a trophy Sunday night, Carrie Underwood still made quite an impression at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, wearing three different outfits during the star-studded ceremony. The country cutie arrived at the MGM Grand in a floor-skimming, royal purple Jean Fares Couture gown, accented with sparkling straps and some elegant baubles (including her gorgeous engagement ring!). Later, for a duet of “Undo It” and “Walk This Way” with American Idol judge Steven Tyler, Underwood slipped into a custom WTB bolero of black silk suiting, with pink metallic mesh trim and black Swarovski crystals (the line is designed in part by Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora). To take the look even further, she added some pink highlights to her hair — and shared a kiss with Tyler! Afterward, Underwood went green in a strapless sequin A-line mini cocktail dress from Farah Angsana, paired with nude Brian Atwood heels and a black Swarovski clutch — perfect for post-ACM Awards partying. We think she looked stunning in all of her dresses, but we want to know what you think. –Kate Hogan
