The 45th Annual Country Music Awards were last weekend...
yee haw y'awl...
This is probably going to sound a bit 'uppity', but I guess I feel like I can say some of these things since I come from a long line of country bumpkins. That being said, I almost always feel that the ladies (and gents) of country music lean more toward tacky then glamourous (ie: Dolly Parton-The Queen of Kitsch). Kind of like the people in your neighborhood who own the most expensive house, but they have a dressed up cement goose by their front door. You know the ones. They can buy anything they want except good taste.
Probably the exception to the rule has been Taylor Swift. She's definitely broken the 'glam curve' in country music fashion. For a 22 year old, the girl has an exceptional fashion sense.
The dress may be a little over the top, but hey...go big or don't go at all, right?
Hillary Scott, from Lady Antebellum has had some hits and misses. Like this...which she wore the night before at the BMI awards.
As I've said before, black is definitely slimming, but...a ton of black is still a ton of black. Fast forward to the CMA's and she looks positively stunning! Bravo!!!
So, from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Reba, Reba, Reba...what were you thinking? I'm pretty sure I wore that exact same green velvet gown for my high school senior year Christmas concert...where the entire alto section managed to derail The Little Drummer Boy by "pa-rum-pa'ing" when we should have "pum-pummed." You're Reba McIntire, for heaven's sake! It's not like any fashion designers wouldn't swoon at the chance to have you wear one of their dresses on the CMA red carpet! Good grief woman...make some phone calls...throw some of that country diva weight of yours around.
And then we have Faith Hill. She is so beautiful...I just don't understand how out of all the dresses in the world, this is the one that caught her eye.
It's just so bleah. And the hair and makeup...ugh-a-rooney.
Even this other dress from Rucci's collection, with a little lining, would have been so much better.
...or this from Jonathan Saunders.
And last up...one of my 'regular offenders'...the always lovely, but terribly dressed, Martina McBride.
(to be sung to the tune 12 Days of Christmas) Satin...wrinkled...pants. Red shiny shoes. Green chandelier earrings...and a partridge in a pear tree.
...someone's stylist is asleep at the wheel...
Until next time y'awl...Miss Bea
yee haw y'awl...
