This is just another fashion post for the Academy of Country Music Awards – I already covered the two biggest “names” at the show, Nicole Kidman and Taylor Swift. I wasn’t going to do detailed coverage on some of the “lesser” country acts, just because I’m not a country music person and I don’t pay attention to it, but as I was looking through the photos, I was overcome by how badly these women dress. Maybe that’s the wrong word though – I’ve always felt that country music fashion is way more prom-y and “Southern” obviously. Big hair is acceptable and necessary. Glittery, sequined, beaded pastels are in vogue, forever and always. So… by those standards, how did these ladies do? Above, we have Carrie Underwood in a lovely jewel-toned alice + Olivia dress. I like the color on her quite a bit, but all of the glittery stuff at the waist makes the whole thing look cheap. And I would have liked to see her do something different with her hair.
Next: Julianne Hough in this orange monstrosity. I think she was trying to match it to her skin?
Brooklyn Decker’s boobs were there for some reason. I actually like the Victoria Beckham dress – I appreciate minimalism and a sleek sheath on a young woman. That being said, she needed to go up one size and have it tailored to her body, because this is too tight in the bust. I can make out every detail of her bust. Also: I’m disliking the haircut, but it will look cute when it grows out a little.
Jennifer Nettles in this sleek black number. I’m including Jennifer because I LOVE her. I think she’s adorable and so, so pretty. This is an interesting choice for her, and I like that she wore something rather sleek to a country music show.
Sara Evans. She looks like she works at a fancy Ho-Jos.
I like the idea of Miranda Lambert’s gown much more than the execution. Her boobs look great, the hair is cute, and white is a nice color for her (although she looks very bridal). I think my problem is with the metallic waist/belt thing – it makes her look “thicker” than she really is.
Martina McBride had a similar problem with her waist/belt too. I don’t like this gown on her at all, though.
