Our Favorite Fashion Moments at the 2009 Country Music Awards

Carrie Underwood had no shortage of dresses. Photo: Rick Diamond, Getty Images

The 2009 CMA Awards brought bright young stars (like LeeAnn Rimes) and iconic country talents (like Reba McEntire) together on one stage.

We were hoping Shania Twain would show up in a leopard print bodysuit and reprise some of her '90s hits, but we were entertained instead by a surprisingly modern array of stars: Taylor Swift (who gave two performances), Kid Rock, Dave Matthews, and Darius Rucker. Oh yeah, and the dresses!

We loved Carrie Underwood's record number of outfit changes, from the kelly green ruffled Ina Soltani (right) to the flashy silver shimmeryTHEIA gown she kicked off the night in.

Our favorites? Nicole Kidman's hot red L'Wren Scott beaded dress, and Taylor Swift's strapless gold sequin Reem Acra gown. The sweetheart dress had a glittery gold corset-like top and a princess-like tulle skirt. We're pretty sure it's every girl's ideal prom night getup.

See all the best dresses of the night -- just click through our gallery below:

CMA Awards 2009 Dresses

Host Carrie Underwood posed on the red carpet in a silver crystal and paillette gown by THEIA and a black Swarovski clutch.

Faith Hill went strapless in a gathered top dress with layered beaded necklaces.

Kellie Pickler went brunette, and played up her petite frame in a clingy pewter lame David Meister gown.

LeeAnn Rimes looked comfortable in that white dress... could a trip down the aisle with hunky boyfriend Eddie Cibrian be in her future?

Nicole Kidman knows how to stun in hot pink. This low-cut satin L'Wren Scott embroidered gown from the designer's Spring 2010 collection really showcased her creamy skin and famously fiery hair.

When it came time to sing a few tunes, Underwood wore this flapper-inspired Georges Chakra Dress with multi-colored gemstones.

Patricia Heaton showed off her assets in a cranberry bell sleeve cocktail dress by Pamella Roland.

Performer Taylor Swift dazzled in this Reem Acra sequin strapless glittery gold gown.

The Judds certainly love their long coats...especially Naomi's silver sequin number!

Underwood chose this ruffled orange silk chiffon dress by Ina Soltani to give her an extra glow on stage.
