Nicole Kidman in black Christian Dior at the CMT Awards: elegant or awful?

These are photos from last night’s CMT Awards, yet another country music awards show. Since I don’t keep up with country music, I have to ask: is it just me or do they have like five country music awards shows within the span of two months?! At last night’s CMTs, Carrie Underwood won “Video of the Year” while Miranda Lambert took home “CMT performance of the year”. Miranda also won best female video while her husband Blake Shelton took Best Male Video. You can read more about the awards here.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were there, of course. And they looked loved up and I actually think Nicole’s face is looking less jacked than it looked at the Cannes Film Festival. Nicole’s inflating and deflating “facial work” always makes me think that she’s making a conscious choice over and over, month by month, to get work done. Ugh. Nicole wore Christian Dior – a nice enough LBD, kind of plain. Keith looked decent (for him) – I just want him to button one more button and STOP WITH THE FLAT-IRON. Oh, would you like a better look at Nicole’s Dior shoes?

I love that Carrie Underwood wasn’t wearing a giant ball gown. Her Editions by Georges Chakra outfit is really cute!

Lenny Kravitz?!

Sheryl Crow looks tired and that dress is not flattering at all.

Kelly Pickler looks pretty glam for this event. I love the dress, I’m just not sure it’s right for the CMTs.

Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Lockwood. Fedoras are not “country”!

Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth Chapman. Elegant.

    I have a dress that looks like Nicole’s. I wear it to work.

    • Itsjustblanche. says:

      Thought the same thing. Very ordinary. And why isn’t she wesring Jimmy Choo on her feet?

    • Desperate Times says:

      Poor old Nicole in a too short dress and still trying to compete with the 20 year olds.

      • ya says:

        I love that dress length on her – she has great legs….. honestly I hope when I’m her age I won’t feel pressured to stop wearing skirts above the knee.

  2. JenD says:

    Love Nicole’s dress. Eh to the shoes. And eh to the others’ dresses.

  3. bns says:

    Not her best.

  4. Lee says:

    Is there a break in the space/time continuum? Nicole Kidman in the SAME post with Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife?

  5. hadleyb says:

    I see divorce in their future. Their body language is always off lately.

    • Nicolette says:

      Me too. I like them both, but I always thought they were a mismatched couple for some reason.

      • Jayna says:

        The couples that look right and perfect together and seem to have great chemistry are the ones that usually shock everybody and get divorced.

        If their love is any indication by the album he devoted to and wrote about loving her, Get Closer, and the beautiful liner rearks about her in the album, I think they are very connected and in love. She has always said she bashful in public.

  6. Gossip Garl says:

    i have GREY shoes that looks like hers…bought them 5 years ago for €10 (YES EURO’s)

  7. marie says:

    she makes him look so little. I like her dress, but not the shoes.

    What is Carrie wearing? Looks like she escaped from an 80’s fitness gym. Sheryl’s is just as bad. Actually they all kind of look bad.

    • Jenny says:

      Carries jacket is a little off. The legs though are insane! She must live at the gym.

      • Rachel says:

        I saw Carrie in concert a couple of months ago. Sidenote: She is an amazing performer. She sang for two hours. I don’t know of any performer to put that much into a show.

        So the real purpose of my comment: Her legs are AMAZING. I’m a spinning instructor, so the next night, I told my class we’re all going to have Carrie Underwood’s legs… then I tortured them for 60 minutes.

      • Jayna says:

        Carrie has amazing legs, I agree.

    • QQ says:

      OK?! I am trying to understand what IS that Top… Or the seafoam color for That matter… Or the hair

      Then I remembered what Country award Fashions look like (mall Pageant Mrs. America) and by that conversion she looks downright Modern, Ditto with this Off show for Nicole, is almost futuristic for the Venue FFS LOL

  8. Christin says:

    I wish they would both lay off the flat iron. Lisa Marie’s fedora wearing gets a pass from me. It has kind of a 1930s/40s vibe and reminds me of older country gentlemen who wore similar hats on Sundays when I was growing up.

    • Mauibound says:

      Love the fedora

    • Oh dear says:

      Keith is sporting the “feminine” version of a flat iron mullet. After all, the more feminine Keith becomes, the more Nicole can relate.

  9. ncboudicca says:

    Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood have bodies that are 200x better than Miley Cyrus’s, in my opinion. Yes, Kellie has fake boobs, but both of them have good muscle tone and look like they work out. I compare them to Miley Cyrus and I don’t even get why everyone is so gaga over Miley’s body?

    • Christin says:

      I don’t get it, either.

    • Rachel says:

      And Kellie Pickler looks beyond fabulous in the dress. She can do no wrong.

    • Kath says:

      Because Miley’s body looks both incredibly fit AND natural – no fake boobs, no fan tan, no shiny oiled-up legs etc.

    • Spooks says:

      Is Kellie the incredibly bright yyoung woman who didn’t know where Budapest is and thought Europe was a country?

  10. doofus says:

    she just always looks so SEVERE to me, even icier than January Jones, and that’s saying something. makes it even creepier when she smiles because it makes me think of some movie-character psycho that will smile and wink at you before he swings the ax. *shivers*

    Carrie Underwood has GREAT legs, but her hair is too “Texas beauty queen” for my tastes.

    Kelly Pickler looks FAB…not crazy about the dress, but her hair is great and she looks really fit.

    • Anmelt says:

      Which is why she really suited the Stepford Wives! Wish she would go natural and stop jacking up her face. Judging from the skin on her body, she would have aged just fine. Argh!!

      Beauty is a curse I guess because if one has it in great amounts one tries to hold on to it more desperately.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Absolutely agree ^^^ Always so tight and severe. Would a flowy top or a hint of her natural curls kill her?

      When you look into Keith Urban’s eyes you can see right through the back of his head.

  11. Aud says:

    Lenny Kravitz…Nicole’s Ex.
    I never have anything positive to say about Nicole, so I won’t.

  12. lucy2 says:

    I think Nicole looks good, except for the shoes, but agree it’s a little boring for an event like this.
    Everyone else just looks…off. Rarely do I enjoy the fashion at a country music award show though.
    Ugh to Carrie’s hair and makeup, she looks like Beauty Queen Barbie.

  13. MinnFinn says:

    Put some lipstick on Michael Lockwood and I would have mistaken him for Boy George circa 1985.

  14. Londongal says:

    I really liked Nicole’s ‘old face’. Sigh. Another one that has buggered up her face beyond all recognition. She was *such* a beauty too. Shame. Let’s watch the skin pendulum swing in the opposite direction with Dog and his ‘beef jerky’ face. Making George Hamilton’s tan look amateur. God I love Dog and Beth!

  15. loveisthecoal says:

    I think Nicole’s shoes are really neat but they look impossible to walk in.

    Is Lenny Kravitz a vampire?? He doesn’t age!

  16. Sabrine says:

    Nicole looks pretty and elegant, if a little plain. But still, you really can’t go too wrong with basic black. Sheryl Crowe should have picked a more vibrant color. White on older women sucks the color out of their face and makes them look drained and tired. Carrie looks like a throwback to the 80’s but still cute. Dog and Beth look adorable.

  17. bondbabe says:

    Ugh; Sheryl Crowe is wearing her brass-colored Julia Roberts shoes. Nasty outfit all around.

  18. bagladey says:

    Whatever he was doing there, Lenny’s clothes look great. He’s the only one who looks good. Nicole looks like a corpse, like something from ‘Death Becomes Her’, and everything about her, including her teeth, looks plastic. The others all looked equally awful with Special Mention going to Cheryl Crow.

  19. anon says:

    I think Nicole was pretty back in the day with the red hair but for years she’s just been trying to hard I can’t bloody take it anymore, looking at her is painful just because of all the plastic surgery, jennifer aniston and courtney cox are starting to be similar.

    Want an example of a beautiful older woman who has pale skin? julianne moore! I love her and she is a great actress, I wish she had Nicole’s career, she deserves it more!

    • Scary Stuff says:

      Kidman’s face looks like a cross between a Pekingese dog and The Joker.

  20. RHONYC says:

    gosh i love these two together!

    never noticed how dreamily blue Keith’s eyes are. *swoon*

    i see why she stay on a steady diet of Keith’s DIAB. Lol

    go Nic, go Nic! 😉

  21. Y says:

    Why is Keith the color of an Oompa Loompa?
