The Sparkles, Feathers, and Fringe of the CMTs

Carrie Underwood

Of course, Carrie Underwood is looking Underwood-y. I'd be stunned if she showed up in, like, a navy pantsuit or whatever. Know thy brand!

I regret to inform everyone that this skirt looks mildly like a red carpet that was drafted into doing double duty. But also -- this look would be PERFECT for a holiday event.

This is just plain old fun. It would ALSO be good for a New Year's event? (Calm down, Jessica, it's APRIL.)

Mickey Guyton

This is perfect if Mickey throws a Gatsby-themed birthday party.

Carly Pearce

I mean, this is totally nice! She looks fine! Also....Christmas-y?

LeAnn Rimes

Is it insane if I think this is great, in a Deranged 1960s Palm Springs Hostess kind of way? (A genre of look I endorse, obviously.)

Gayle King

Gayle might ALSO be working in that genre.

Caitlyn Smith

This would be PERFECT for a Real Housewives interview look. Not in a bad way! In a good way!

Little Big Town

As usual, they look like two couples who are heading to a friend's birthday party. Not in a bad way? It's interesting to me that they do not ever coordinate at ALL; you'd never know these folks were in a band together at all.

Brittney Spencer

She looks SUPERB in this; I love it.

Obviously, this is fun. Suits By Mattel!

Caroline Jones

This is probably fun to dance in.

Lainey Wilson

I just realized this doesn't technically have sparkles, sequins, feathers, or fringe. But it does EMOTIONALLY. Like this is PSYCHOLOGICALLY fringed.

Priscilla Block

I want to get in here and change this up! She is cute and this has accidentally gone Party City on her -- let's do a cleaner high ponytail and at least swap the shirt out for a white tank. See? Better!

Madeline Edwards

This is soothing and great, though.

And I want to go out for margaritas later with these guys, like, 100%.

Taylor Lautner, left, and Taylor Dome

Did we know that Taylor was engaged to another Taylor? It turns out Taylor LOVES dating Taylors? Anyway, mazel tov Taylors and you both look fine!

Jimmie Allen

I love this whole look and this jacket is SO fun.

Ashland Craft

I don't know the technological makeup of these trousers but please rest assured that nothing perilous is happening. They're fun! The necklaces might be distracting?

Maddie Font

These necklaces are ALSO distracting. AM I TURNING ON ACCESSORIES?

Tenille Arts

This is one of those dresses where I both think it might be too much AND I know I might wear it myself? YOLO.

Gina Kirschenheiter

Do not ask me why Gina got the nod from the OC Housewives to make an appearance at this; she has had a rather rough season, IMO. And you know Shannon would have worn a hat!

Sacha

This is a real party of a dress.

Reyna Roberts

This is a bit like if Tron went to the CMAs....which now I do maybe want to experience.

Dennis Quaid and Laura Savoie

Then...Dennis Quaid showed up??????
