CMT (Carrie Meets Taylor)

CMT- Country Music Awards showdown or is it called a hoedown? Whatever you want to call it these Country Babes have what it takes, in the style department. My top picks, which are also the most surprising, not because they won "The HIT-List" Awards but what they chose to wear. They both stepped out of the box and surprised viewers by going the opposite of the norm.

Country Queen, Carrie Underwood and Country Princess, Taylor Swift looked phenomenal last night (June 9th) at the CMT Awards in, non other than, Nashville, Tenn., home of the Country Music Phenomenon.

Taylor Swift turned heads in a great way. She showed up on the Blue Carpet in a beautiful cooper red John Galliano bubble dress and beautiful heels. What surprised the audience the most is her straight hair and like of glitter prom-esque dresses she usually wears at these events.

Another surprising beauty also wowed fans. Carrie Underwood, traded in her short, one shouldered, light colored, embroidered dresses for a beautiful bright pink, sheer Jenny Packham mini with a plunging neck and beautiful silver and black embellishments. She also wore a gorgeous clutch by the designer and amazing heels.

Other country babes that also graced the entrance to the awards were: Julianne Hough and Lady Antebellum's, Hillary Scott.

Julianne Hough

This Dancing with the Stars and now Country singer, showed us what dancing really does a body good. She wore a beautiful yellow, sparkly Georges Hobeika dress with just minimal jewelry, muted heels and clutch which really showcased her jewel of an ensemble.

Hillary Scott

This Lady, looked amazing in a gorgeous A-Symmetric black, tight and sparkly David Meister dress and smokey makeup. She definitely looked like a winner.






Now, you know this wouldn't be "The HIT-List" if I didn't also feature the winners of "The Black-List" as well. Yes, I call them winners too, because losers, would be mean and they obviously caught my attention. So, being the optimistic and generous person/critic that I am, they are also winners in my book... I guess.

So here are the "winners" of last night's, CMT "The Black-List":
Hayden Panettiere and Kellie Pickler.



Hayden Panettiere

Okay the teal is amazing, but the teal hoochie mama, greek goddess meets Bambi the stripper isn't what I call, "pretty."

It's a shame to see a dress by, Emilio Pucci land on this list, but it just isn't working here. The colors are terrific with Hayden's newly cut, blonde, pixie hair, but the look?... not so much.






Kellie Pickler

Talk about style overload. Kellie wore a black and gold (mostly gold) Zuhair Murad number. Though the dress has potential the overly accessorized, "matchy match" shoes and stick straight hair... makes this a style Don't.

But, of course, I would like to congratulate the winners of last night fun-filled ceremony:
