Let's dissect.
WIN
Leave it to Nicole Kidman, a true movie star, to class up the night. While her dress is relatively low key for an awards show, the CMAs are more like the CMT Awards when you compare them to the fashions of the Oscars [where I'm sure Nicole is more comfortable], so I'm not mad at her. I'm loving the lace and the shoes really give it some sass. Oh, did I mention that she and Keith won the CMA for Cutest Couple Ever?
FAIL
I'm not quite sure what look Gwyneth Paltrow was going for on the Black Carpet, but what she wound up with was Miss America. That dress is over the top [although I noticed a lot of cutouts last night], the shoes are ugly and the hair is boring. Maybe next time?
MEH
I'm not mad at this dress, but I dont love it either. It's a nice color, but I dont find it to be very figure flattering for Miranda. The detailing at the hips makes her look wide, and she needs to take those big boobies and go home. I give her extra points for the gorgeous hair.
WIN
A risk taker! Finally! Love, love, love this dress- everything about it. A black carpet is a unique opportunity to try colors that would normally clash with a red carpet, and Hilary Scott hit it out of the park. This dress is adventurous while still being classic and well fitted. Well done!
FAIL
I really want to like this dress, but for some reason I just can't get behind it. I think it looks disproportionate because of the flair of the ruffles, then the disappearing act of the ruffles, then another flair of the ruffles. I think if the ruffles were consistent down the length of the skirt I would've given this a win, but I'm just not on board. Also, Carrie, please do something different with her hair. Try a different color, or extentions, or an updo, or just SOMETHING that is different. I'm bored with your style.
MEH
This dress is cute, but she looks more like she's ready for a night at the club [where she'd likely steal someone else's husband] rather than an awards show. Also, it looks like it's from Arden B? Cheap Cheap Cheap. At least she did something different with her hair [extra points for that].
WIN
Well, she didn't win Female Vocalist of the Year [laughs evilly], but she gets a win for her fashion. One thing that I will say about Taylor Swift is that she is almost always on point with her dress selections. This dress is slightly safe, but it's elegant, classic, and red is a color that she OWNS. Well done Little T. However, I'm deducting a few points for your lack of highlights. The color of her hair is literally greige. Brighten it up a bit love!
FAIL
I don't get this dress. Is it supposed to looks like Snakeskin? What's with her eye makeup? Just no.
MEH
I can't decide on this one. I actually LOVE the dress, but we seem to have another contender for the She Needs To Take Those Big Boobies and Go Home award. Also, what's with the mom hair and the awkward flashing of the diamond? It's not like she got engaged yesterday, right?
WIN
Julianne Hough- well done! I love the darker hair, I love the drama of the one shoulder, and I love the ruffles. My one complaint? DON'T WEAR BLACK ON A BLACK CARPET! We can't tell where your dress ends and the carpet begins. Other than that, you look gorgeous.
FAIL
It wasn't a red carpet look, but I still hated it. It looks like Carrie is getting ready for Easter dinner with the Kennedys. Just no.
MEH
The gals of Little Big Town are gorgeous, but I have a couple of issues. The dress on the right has a fabulous, fashion forward cut, but I'm not digging the velvet. The rouching and draping just don't really show through. If it had been in another fabric this definitely would've been a win. Homegirl on the left just looks like she didnt have the time to put into finding a fabulous looks, so she went to the Mother of the Bride department at Macy's and just bought something off the rack. Here's hoping she tries harder next time.
WIN
Leave it to the WIFE of a star to pull of a great look. This dress is a beautiful color, a great cut with soft ruffles that don't overdo it, and she is rocking it! Extra points for the cute clutch. Well done picking out your wife, Jason Aldean.
FAIL
No words.
MEH
I dont hate it, but perhaps its a bit short for someone of her age. To her credit, I'm possibly being too critical here. She looks good.
WIN
Laura Bell Bundy is known for being a bit silly, but she was not playing around with this look. This could possibly be my overall favorite for the night. Everything about this is perfection from the hair, to the lips, to the belt. GET IT GIRL- you look great!
FAIL
Ugly and Uglier in that order. No.
MEH
Why does Carrie always insist on wearing a cupcake when she performs?? The top of this dress is lovely. The bottom looks like it was stolen from a Disney Princess movie.
WIN
I love all these blues that we saw on the red carpet last night. Katherine's dress is gorgeous as is her hair. Just dramatic enough without going over the top. She looked like she was having so much fun during the show. Welcome to Nashville, K!
WIN
Another blue dress! I also love this one. I'm not very familiar with Steel Magnolias music, but I love the fashion sense. The layers remind me a bit of the Miley Cyrus dress that I posted a few days ago, so maybe I'm in a layered skirt phase [sounds like a personal problem]. I could do without the brooch on the top, but I'm not gonna dock her points for her.
I'm calling Laura Bell Bundy the overall winner of the black carpet. Who do you think looked the best and why?

You don't think Martina looked liked she was getting swallowed by old school jiffy pop?
I actually really liked Jennifer Nettles eye make up, and thats the only nice thing I've ever been able to say about her.
The LeAnn comment made me laugh till I peed a little ;)
Miranda knew she was going to have a HUGE night, why did she have to make HUGE fashion misteps? Yuck, none of it was good.
I like Hillary's dress in theory, but she's a human sized entertainer. She's no stick figure, you didn't think the stitching made her look more hippy than usual?
Martina may have, in fact, looked like old school Jiffy Pop. Good call.
Agree on Miranda. Who was styling her??
I like the fact that Hillary is human sized, and I liked the fact that her dress didn't hide that. I thought she was the cat's meow on the carpet.
