Carrie Underwood didn’t just take home the Country Music Awards’ highest honor — she made a fashion statement while doing it! This former American Idol wore 5 dresses throughout the evening! Which was your favorite?

On the red carpet, Carrie wore a Randi Rahm blush pink gown. Totally a dream prom dress — look at the elegant one-shoulder that gives off Greek goddess vibes! Bonus points for being flowy and comfortable.

Next,  she changed into a one-sleeved white Jean Fares Couture minidress for her performance with Taylor Swift and Sugarland. Backstage, she wore a one-shouldered black dress (are you starting to see a theme here?) P.S. Who knew the stars had dresses picked out just for backstage — I’d be in sweats during my off-hours!

For her solo, she wore a maroon Rafael Cennamo gown, with a billowy train that swept the stage. NOT recommended for prom, but it reminds me of the beautiful gowns I see girls wear for their quinceanera on misquincemag.com. So it’s a DO for fancy award show performances and Sweet 15s!

Finally, when Carrie accepted her awards, she wore a tiered white Roberto Cavalli minidress, also flowy and feminine.

If Carrie teaches us anything about prom fashion, let it be that your dress should not only look pretty but also feel great.

Case in point: How comfortable does this mermaid dress look on Kellie Pickler?

Yeah, not so much…even though Kellie said she loved her golden Zuhair Murad gown (and it is stunning), is she breathing in it? I’ll pass on a tight silhouette for prom — too hard to dance in!
