RED CARPET & FASHION
We are looking forward to this year’s red carpet! The event is black tie and we expect to see everyone dressed their best, meaning all new fashion statements and stunning dresses. It is always so exciting to see who wears what fashion designer and who wore the best dress. Of course, we are expecting Carrie Underwood to look flawless, as always! Some of the best outfits last year were designed by Gauri & Nainika, Nicole Miller, St. John, Rubin Singer, Lorena Sarbu, and Galia Lahav. Carrie Underwood will be wearing costumes from decades of country music. She will be having 11 costume changes throughout the night, keeping the audience on their feet! It will be interesting to see which fashion designers leave their mark on the CMA Awards Red Carpet this year!
