For this year's CMA Awards, Hollywood's country crooners and biggest celeb fans forewent the big and bedazzled for sleek and sheen.
Some of my favorite looks included those of Gwyneth Paltrow (who scored my best-dressed spot with ease in an asymmetrical, ombre gown with sexy cutouts and allover sparkle from the Atelier Versace Fall 2010 collection), Taylor Swift (who proved she's all grown up in a sweetheart Monique Lhuillier gown ruched to the one side and topped off with a sexy slit) and Carrie Underwood (who was ruffled to perfection in a steel-grey, tulle gown with rosette detailing from Talbot Runhof).
While Miranda Lambert (in a ruched, off-the-shoulder number) and Katherine Heigl (in a strapless, sapphire gown from Farah Angsana) certainly proved competition, their looks fell short when it came to the wow-factor of the others.
Which star's CMA Awards style is your fave?
