Red Carpet Report • The 2012 Academy Of Country Music Awards

On Sunday, the 47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards took place in Nevada. 


Taylor Swift was the belle of the ball in a J.Mendel Fall 2012 dress. The modern white dress with metallic gold accents and cut-outs in the waist was a very unexpected choice for Taylor, since she always opts for classic sequin pieces. The singer styled her dress with criss-cross platform sandals by Christian Louboutin and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. Taylor's hair was down in a wavy style with blunt bangs. Kohl-rimmed eyes finished her look. Carrie Underwood walked the red carpet in a strapless white gown with embellished details by Abed Mahfouz. The gown with thigh-high split was paired with sparkly peep-toes by Jimmy Choo. The singer wore her hair in dangling curls, swept over one shoulder. Statement eye make-up provided the finishing touch for her look.

Nicole Kidman joined hubby Keith Urban on the red carpet. The actress opted for a simple L'Wren Scott Fall 2012 dress with sheer yoke. The black fitted sleeveless dress with shirt collar was paired with bright red strappy sandals, also by L'Wren Scott. Nicole carried a small black clutch and accessorized with Cartier jewels. She wore her hair down in a slkee style, pink lippie completed her look. Hillary Scott wore a black long-sleeve dress by Emilio Pucci. The black wrap dress with metallic detail was complemented with a metallic-and-black clucth and gorgeous blue jewels, including beautiful dangling rhinestone earrings. Hillary let her hair down in large cascading curls.

The custom gown with flowing skirt was adorned in the waist with a beaded yellow waistband. The singer accessorized with a red clutch by Edie Parker and dangling ruby earrings by Kimberly McDonald. A messy swept-up hairstyle and light pink lip shade completed the look. Miranda Lambert shimmered in a gold Randi Rahm liquid gown. Miranda styled her sequined gown with diamond chandelier earrings by Fred Leighton and a diamond cuff. The singer kept her hair down in cascading waves. A copper lippie completed her look.

Beth Behrs wore a blush Notte by Marchesa gown with bow-bust and flowing skirt. Beth paired her girly gown with a silver clutch. The singer wore her hair down in a curly style.  
Laura Bell Bundy wore a sparkly Jean Fares Couture one-sleeve gown. The liquid silver sequined gown looked a little overwhelming on Laura. To show off the upper part of her gown, Laura wore her hair in a curly side-bun. Dark eye make-up completed her look. I'm not a fan of the one-sleeve part, and I'm not sold on the hairstyle yet either...
