2010 Academy of Country Music Awards Dresses

Taylor Swift
We loved when Swift showed off some sexy bangs and a sleek blowout a few months ago, but we understand why she went back to her romantic roots for the country music awards. The singer wore a wisteria chiffon embroidered gown by Marchesa, along with 7 carat diamond and platinum drop earrings, a 25 carat diamond and platinum bracelet, and a pink and white diamond ring by Neil Lane.

Nicole Kidman
Well, this is certainly a new look -- and not one we particularly love. Kidman skipped the traditional gowns and wore a black wool tuxedo mini and cutout booties by L'Wren Scott.

LeeAnn Rimes
LeeAnn Rimes beamed in a strapless black and blue dress, which she paired with some white topaz and gold jewelry by Neil Lane.

Carrie Underwood
Country music's darling wore a pale yellow ruffled mini on the red carpet. Though it doesn't quite match her clutch and shoes, the dress itself was pretty on Underwood.

Jewel
Our favorite yodeler chose this feminine cornflower blue Jenny Packham gown with simple chandelier earrings.

Cher
You can take Cher out of the '80s, but you can't take the '80s out of Cher. The icon wore a black leather jacket, corset, and chains -- and what appears to be a body suit on top of leggings.

Reba McEntire
The hostess posed in a champagne silk gown by Ysa Makino with blue vine embroidered overlay. The color was a nice pick to offset her famous fiery locks.

Kristen Bell
Bell is usually a knockout, so we were disappointed that she chose this unflattering nude look. Her petite frame is lost in the monochrome outfit, which doesn't do enough to play up her best parts.

Camila Alves
The host of "Shear Genius" chose a simple cobalt blue gown and gold jewelry. A lower neckline might have made the look a little more modern

Faith Hill
If only Hill had shown off her curves in a more form-fitting dress... This white knee-length shift didn't pack much "wow" factor.
