Carrie Underwood turned the 56th annual CMA Awards red carpet into her own personal runway.
The Denim & Rhinestones superstar wore a flowing gown in multiple shades of blue, featuring several textured fabrics, off-the-shoulder sleeves and a leg slit.
Underwood paired the dress with matching blue shoes and Natalie Mills earrings and Angara rings as she walked the carpet, accompanied by husband Mike Fisher, who looked dapper in a deep blue suit with a white shirt, black tie and black shoes.
