Once the major awards shows are over, its hard to find events with enough attendees and/or pictures for a whole fashion post. Well today you are in luck, because I've decided to cover the American Country Music awards that were on this past Sunday.
I'm not really a Country fan, but you can always count on the Country stars to show up in some interesting fashion, whether it's good or bad. There is always lots of sparkle, big hair, and cowboy boots! Here are my thoughts..
HITS
Taylor Swift in Dolce & Gabbana
This dress is a lot of sparkle, and I mean a lot.. and if she had worn this to the Grammys? I would have said nope, move along T.Swift. It's all about the event, and for this one I love it. It's sophisticated but still youthful and the metallic hue is very on trend. Now as for the hair? Boring. Try again.
Kaley Cuoco in BCBG Max Azria
Two thumbs up! Normally I'm not impressed with Kaley's choices, but this one I just love. The geometric pattern is fierce and it fits her like a glove. The pattern is not overwhelming and is very flattering to her waist. Of course she has to eff it up with the Mohawk poof she's got on her head, but I get where she was trying to go with it.. not so much poof next time girl!
Kimberley Perry in Dior
I think this might be my favorite look of the night. Lately I have been obsessed with crisp white looks and this one is on point! I love the sparkly panel on the front and the long skirt over the short skirt magically works here, when most of the time it doesn't. She looks gorgeous from head to toe!
Jana Kramer in Badgley Mischka
Again, a lot of sparkle.. maybe too much? There is a ton of embellishment going on here but when you stay in the same color palette it tends to work. I sort of wish that it went all the way down instead of that two feet of boring tulle, but overall it's a gorgeous dress. Oh, and maybe loose the fringe on the bust, not cute!
Hillary Scott in Pea in the Pod
Take notes Kim Kardashian, this is how you dress a baby bump and look incredibly classy! I love the navy dress with her red hued hair and she is glowing. She looks happy and pretty and isn't that the goal when you're working the red carpet at eight months pregnant? Also, loving the charcoal jewels.. so pretty.
MISSES
Carrie Underwood in Naeem Khan
Normally I have nothing bad to say about Miss Carrie, but I'm not loving this look. The cut of the dress itself is pretty and flattering but the pattern is too much floral. This reminds me of a bad dress you would find at Dillards. The hair is also a little messy for my taste. Her body looks incredible as usual though!
Jewel in Georges Chakra
Ohhh honey no. This has bad pageant written all over it! Not only is her spray tan orange, but so is her dress. When you do sparkles, you should always stick to neutrals or jewel tones or else you run the risk of looking juvenile. It's too bad, because the fit of the dress is actually perfect!
Faith Hill in Chado Ralph Rucci
This dress has me very confused. First of all, it's see-through. When you're her age.. nothing should be see-through. The length of the skirt is off, and the sleeves are weirdly cinched. Oh, and lets not forget that the front is only closed about a foot along her midsection? Just not a good look at all.
Shania Twain in Unknown
Oh Shania. The 90's called and they want their outfit back. Also, they invented this thing called the straightener and I'm telling you.. it works wonders on wavy or curly hair. Just a hint! PS. Leave the thigh-high boots to the hookers.
Sheryl Crow in Zac Posen
I hate having anything bad to say about Mr. Posen, but not the right outfit for the event, not the right accessories, and you need a new hair style. I say this completely out of love, of course.
Did you watch the American Country Music awards? What were your hits & misses?

I so agree with you on Carrie's dress and Shanias outfit...eeek! Although I do love Shanias hair and I thought Jewel looked great...and Kimberly Perry nailed it!
I saw Carrie's dress in another picture and loved it, but this angle isn't so flattering :/ sheesh ladies, get it together! ;)
Ohhhh my goodness. Faith Hill doesn't even look like herself! And I'm so sad about Shania's outfit. I so badly want her comeback to be amazing. You're on point with this.
I love Taylor's, Kimberley's and jana's outfit!! I am a sucker for sparkle!! Idk what the hell faith hill and shania where wearing! they need to be on what NOT to wear!!
Oh lordy!!
Have a great day beautiful!!

OMG It seems like all the women that were so popular in the 90's, LITERALLY, went back to the 90's! Kaley looked good...but I swear it looks like she has a spider on the front of her dress due to that geometric pattern! LOL!

SO..when I clicked this I was hoping you would of put dog and beth from that bounty huntin show on here. That was the best outfit of the night!
"The 90's called and they want their outfit back"
YESSSSS
LOL first thing I thought in my head when I saw this look - it belongs on an episode of (the original) 90210!
What the hell was Shaina thinking?

I don't think Kim Kardashian has a classy bone in her body.. yick. But yes, Hillary Scott looked fabulous!
Super disappointed in my girl Carrie, but we all know she'll knock it out of the park next time :)
Can I just say that you took the words right out of my mouth about all of them!
SHANIA CAN DO NO WRONG, OKAY!? Caribbean voodoo coming your way.
Faith, Shania and Sheryl need to FIRE their stylists!!! Very bad choices. I think Kimberly Perry in Dior is my fav!
Shania is totally stuck in the 90's, but I kind of feel bad for her... so I'll let it slide.
The boobie tassels...oh lord. Nothing really impressed me, mostly because I refuse to acknowledge anything Taylor Swift does. She does not exist in my brain!
ooohhh those misses are badddd. but i just can't stand kaley so i'm putting her in the miss file. oops!
Omg Faith Hill that is just sad...
In high school I worked at Dilliard's in the Misses Dresses section and when I saw Carrie's dress my first thought was "That looks like something I sold years ago..." xx
Dress at Dillards.... so on point.
What was she thinking?! and Faith.... oh Faith... Did Tim dress you? If so, I think he forgot several things. Like oh, I don't know, that you were going to an awards show and not to bed.
Agree 100%. I love me some Kaley and saw some other angles of her hair and thought she looked bitchin.
Shania is one of my idols but I agree that outfit is just not her....I love her curly hair and I loved t-swifts dress!
Faith needs to rethink this whole "dress your age thing." That dress makes her look 545467 years old!
And I hate to admit, but TSwift, the most annoying person in the world, does look pretty good.
you are so right - Hilary Scott looked perfect! Even when she performed she looked great...preggers and all.
WHY CARRIE???? WHYYYYY
I completely agree with a lot of these! They are crazy... I think Hillary Scott looks gorgeous! :)
I agree with all your misses.
Hilary Scott=the cutest!!!
Couldn't agree with this post anymore! Did you see Nancy O'Dell's dress? I was IN love. Perfect white dress for the occasion.
Kimberly Perry looked GORGEOUS! I want her hair!!! And yeah when I saw Sheryl Crow I thought WTF is she wearing???
You are spot on with everything I was thinking! Faiths outfit just hurt though. Bad. HAHA
I think TSwizzle pulled that dress off nicely for this event. I liked the outfit Carrie wore when she performed...this dress, not so much.
Catching up on your dirt!! I can't believe you gave my girl T-Swift some props!! :) Carrie and Shania? What in the world???? I still think Sheryl Crow is so dang smokin! You know I love these posts!!
totally agree with you on each person! i loved jewel's hair though so i'm sad the rest didn't play out well. maybe next year.
Love this! Kaley's dress looks PERFECT for her and Shania...there are no words for that mess!
WTH was Carrie Underwood thinking? Jeez.I am OBSESSED with Jana's dress, so it totally makes sense that it's BM. I have a BM dress that doesn't fit me, but I simply can't get rid of it.
