Lee Ann Womack: comfortingly 80s-retro amid all this sleek elegance.


Kelly Pickler embraces the glitter trend to stunning, deco effect!


Robin Roberts may not be reinventing the wheel, but sometimes "Lady in Red" elegance is hard to top.


LeAnn Rimes also rocks bombshell - and works it. (Even after Labor Day.)


Kind of in awe of how totally balls-out Martina McBride's Grecian-princess-infanta-Barbie fantasia is!


This level of understated chic may disappoint those secretly hoping for hairspray and sequins - but it's hard to argue with Faith Hill.


Kimberly Williams Paisley (she's married to country singer Brad) goes slightly Haight - but keeps it totally elegant. Can we get some sequins?!


Thank you, Reba - even if this is concert-hall-understated.


Vintage Nicole Kidman: empire-waisted and vivid. Personally, I love. (Beside the middle-school nails.) What say you?


Seriously: Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles is totally Oscar-ready. In fact, screw the Oscars; the CMAs are apparently where it's at.


While minis and pansies aren't exactly what we had in mind, Ashley Monroe's getup is still - although. technically, ill-judged - a welcome hit of festivity!


I love that Taylor Swift has made high-glam Glinda her thing, casting herself as a beautiful, innocent Good Witch! And this is flat-out lovely.


Hm. Michelle Branch's space-age Egyptian Shumba is not the sort of glitz we had in mind - although a hit of color is refreshing.


I'm still getting used to the "Klimt" trend, as we know, but Carrie Underwood is balm to my glitter-hungry soul!


Wow, even the normally gaudy Nancy O'Dell has toned it down and classed it up. (Yes, I still hold Wendy/Austin against her.)


Am seriously considering forcing bridesmaids to wear exact replicas of Diana DeGarmo's frock - because I can. But don't know if I can afford the karmic price.


Normally, Patricia Heaton, legs or cleavage is a good rule of thumb. But hey, go for it.


If loving Hillary Scott's Grecian is wrong, I don't want to be right. (She's of Lady Antebellum.)


Jimmy Dickens keeps it real.


The Future.

The Good:
The cut of Melina Kanakaredes' dress is amazing, and the color probably looks great with her eyes. Plus, I have a hunch the harsh glare of the flashbulbs is hurting this dress and it looks even better in person.

Hi, Jenny Mollen, I don't know who you are but IMDB says you're engaged to Jason Biggs and appeared on Angel a few times. Congrats on that. Your dress is super cute.

Tichina Arnold may have fallen victim to wrinkled satin but she's cool so whatever.

The Bad:
Cashmere Mafia's Bonnie Somerville: The dress could almost be okay, even with that wide-ass belt, if you were bare-legged. But the tights and boots make you look like a castaway from the crew of the Starship Enterprise, and not in a good way.

Hahahaha, Emmanuelle Vaugier of CSI: NY, it' so hilarious that you think this dress is cute. The hideous orange patterned trim appears to match your purse and shoes, and that is not right. Sorry.

James Denton is too old to dress like a "dude" or a "bro." In addition, that tee is sooooo 2005. Mr. Denton would be foxy in a crisp button-down shirt and flat-front pants. Someone ought to let him know.

IMDB tells me that Alexandra Fulton played a prostitute on Touched By An Angel one time. That's neither here nor there. The problem is this outfit. I get what she's going for — old-skool Hollywood. Retroglam. It's great. But the dress is too pale for her. If she were raven-haired this would be amazing; since she is not, she needs to try again.

What is with the sleeves and the hem of Patricia Heaton's blouse? No comprende.

Julie Benz would look great walking on the beach at sunset in this dress; on the red carpet it hurts the eyes.

The Ugly:
Patricia Kara's dress is too short, too flimsy, too reminiscent of a curtain.

It doesn't matter what you do, Roger Cross, you will not distract us from those hideous shoes.
