Taylor Swift co-hosted the GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live! on Wednesday wearing a dress that only Taylor Swift could pull off.

The 22-year-old “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer hit the black carpet at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for the concert wearing a ladylike long-sleeved ivory full floral lace “Sienna” dress by Maria Lucia Hohan. This Spring 2013 fit-and-flare design features a crew-neck and a full, flirty skirt. I think it’s really pretty, but I don’t believe it works for everyone.

This is the quintessential Swift dress, for sure.  | continue reading..

Remember when Carrie Underwood had ten wardrobe changes last year when she co-hosted the CMA Awards with Brad Paisley? Good, because the duo returned to take over hosting duties this year and Carrie added an extra look into the mix!

Aside from her arrival in Reem Acra, the “Good Girl” singer went on to change eleven more times during the ceremony. From the dresses, to the jewelry–and of course, the shoes! The Fashion Court has the scoop on every. single. look.

Carrie opened the show wearing a glittering nude long-sleeve cocktail dress by Jovani. This flesh-colored frock featured all-over crystal embellishing in a star-burst effect. The only way to compliment a dress like this at a country music awards show was to naturally add more sparkle into the mix! | continue reading..

Now this is much better!

After a truly unflattering red carpet look, Miranda Lambert changed her dress during the 2012 CMA Awards on Thursday night when she took the stage to accept her many awards alongside her husband Blake Shelton.

This time around, Miranda wore a pretty Jovani strapless silk-chiffon navy blue cocktail dress with a flirty pleated skirt, a twisted sweetheart bodice and a sparkling sapphire crystal embellished empire-waist belt. I believe this dress complimented Miranda’s curves and petite height more. | continue reading..

Colbie Caillat worked a much more minimalist look on the red carpet for the 46th annual CMA Awards on Thursday night.

The “Fallin’” singer arrived at the Bridgestone Arena wearing a Nicole Miller black sleeveless jersey dress with a cutout back. I really like the sleek silhouette as it hugs Colbie’s curves, and while it may look simple–that slightly squared neckline gives it a unique take on an otherwise classic style.

Colbie wore her long tresses in a loose low ponytail and finished off with two studded grey bangles to match her croc clutch. I’m glad she didn’t carry a black clutch, yet somehow found a way to incorporate the grey in. Much more refreshing than going with an expected silver or gold–and who doesn’t like the tiny pop of pink color?

Off topic: Check out Colbie’s new holiday album “Christmas In The Sand”–in stores now!

Kimberly Williams-Paisley wore a luminous metallic gown when she presented at the 46th annual CMA Awards last night. Her husband, Country singer Brad Paisley, co-hosted the ceremony alongside Carrie Underwood.

The “Nashville” actress took the stage with her costars Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere while donned in a Fall 2012 strapless bronze metallic silk gown by Romona Keveza with a sweetheart bodice, draped skirt and a sexy thigh-high slit.

I liked the violet contrast Kimberly brought to the look with her bag and jewelry–but, I feel like her shoes brought the look to a halt. | continue reading..

I was getting flashbacks to Nina Dobrev’s Emmy dress from last year when I saw Connie Britton hit the CMA Awards stage last night to present an award to Miranda Lambert with her “Nashville” costars Hayden Panettiere and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

The ginger-haired actress looked lovely in a strapless scarlet red satin gown from GUiSHEM by Guillermo Jop, from the designer’s Fall 2012 collection. The sleek design featured a mermaid train and monochrome geometric chevron patterns. | continue reading..

Reba McEntire shined–literally–on the red carpet last night in a blue cocktail dress for the 46th annual CMA Awards, held in good ‘ol Nashville, Tennessee at the famous Bridgestone Arena.

The Country music legend showed how much she’s still ‘got it’ in this electric blue sequin THEIA knee-length dress. This Fall 2012 design is hand-embroidered with over 500,000 sequins in their signature crunchy fabrication. I love this texture–I feel like it enhances the dazzling element over traditional flat-laying appliqués. | continue reading..

Kelly Clarkson lived out another dream last night when she took the stage at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville during the 46th annual CMA Awards to perform a duet with Country music icon Vince Gill.

The “Catch My Breath” singer finally wore something that I truly liked on her, which also completely flattered her curves. Kelly shined under the bright lights in a navy blue and rust red custom-made dress by Cesar Arellanes; a designer label she’s been known to turn to for her red carpet and stage looks. | continue reading..

Miranda Lambert may have failed to spark any interest from me with her red carpet arrival dress at the 2012 CMA Awards tonight–but, she definitely caught my attention when she hit the stage during the ceremony to rock the house with her hit song “The Fastest Girl In Town”.

The country superstar slipped into some skin-tight black leatherette leggings by Citizens of Humanity ($160, shopbop.com) and matching heel Zara cowboy ankle boots ($129, zara.com) while rocking a colorful graffiti embellished bustier corset by The Blonds, from the Fall 2012 collection. | continue reading..

I think it’s safe to say that Taylor Swift’s arrival at the CMA Awards was the most highly-anticipated tonight, and boy did she deliver when she finally emerged onto the red carpet in a dazzling embellished gown.

Celebrating the release of her mega-selling new album RED, the 22-year-old country music starlet wore a beautiful Spring 2012 nude and poppy red floral sequin and bead-embroidered lace gown by Jenny Packham | continue reading..
