I was planning on posting something else today, but when I spotted a photo of Gwyneth Paltrow in Atelier Versace at the 2010 CMA Awards I changed my mind. Now, I know a lot of people aren't Gwyneth fans, but I happen to like her and I think she looks great in this slit-to-there, sequined ombré number. Her legs look phenomenal in those Louboutins!
I think Gwyneth looked sexy (not always something I associate with her), but classy as always. Although I could have done without the bodice cut-out. Gwyneth's beautiful earrings are S.J. Phillips. I missed Gwyneth's performance, but hope to catch it on YouTube soon.
What did you think of Gwyneth's dress and her singing?
Leighton Meester wore a Spring 2011 RTW
Pucci gown with Cathy Waterman jewels.
You know I love her, but her hair is kind of...meh?
Leighton's badass shoes are by Jimmy Choo.
Adorable Julianne Hough in a one-shouldered
Georges Chakra gown and Jimmy Choo heels.
Julianne accessorized with a Judith Lieber clutch and Swarovski jewellery.
Carrie Underwood's Talbot Runhof gown is kind of a mess of poufs and frills and fabric flowers, but she's so cute that I can't really dismiss the look out of hand. Maybe I'm losing it but it kind of--almost?--works for her. I think. Do you agree? (Clutch by Swarovski)
Kellie Pickler has a kind of Christina Hendricks vibe going on, no? Maybe its just the cleavage. Kellie seems very...lush in her liquid gold Pamella Roland gown. And I think her soft make-up is pretty.
Some of Carrie's other costume changes...
I want to love Nicole Kidman (she's even been keeping her hair darker just like I kept begging her to!), but there is something wrong with this outfit. Or more accurately something is off about this outfit on Nicole. Just me? Dress - Dolce and Gabbana, Shoes - L'Wren Scott, Jewels - Fred Leighton
Leann Rimes, not my fave in general.
Killer shoes.
Full disclosure: I'm not a Taylor Swift fan. Every time I hear one of Swift's whiny ramblings on the radio (which seems about every 0.2 seconds--the world is either enamoured, or just inundated, by her caterwauling) I feel like stabbing my own eyes out. So, that said, while I think the red Monique Lhuillier gown Swift wore to the CMAs is pretty (and in one of the season's hot colours), it's also ultimately boring and uninspired. Her Neil Lane floral diamond earrings are also pretty.
First off Izzy, back away from the hair dye. Yeesh. Second, I like the colour of Katherine Heigl's Farah Angsana gown and I don't dislike the style on principle, but it seems sort of old for her or something. Pretty Jimmy Choos.
I think Joanna Garcia is too cute for words. Her dress, however, is in Taylor Swift territory. Pretty, unoffensive, kinda boring. The only halfway exciting part are the jewel do-dads on the shoulder(s).
Fun and flirty Sara Evans.
Shimmery and belted Laura Bell Bundy
An equally sparkly Sandra Lee.
Sheryl Crowe and Kimberly Williams (who will
always be Annie from Father of the Bride to me).
I'm probably way behind, but I have no idea who Jennifer Nettles is.
I think she's adorably cute, though, and I love her agate slice earrings!
Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum is beautiful, but
the only thing I can look at is her neckline. Which
seems to be slowly creeping up to devour her face.
What did you think of the outfits?
