My Academy Country Music Awards Best Dressed Picks...

The Academy Country Music Awards were on last night and every country cutie and cowboy attended to celebrate the honky-tonkiness that is country music. The awards were well deserved, the musical performances were pleasing and the fashion was out of this world! Of course, as I have said before, my favourite part of award shows are the red carpets, where the attendees always look their very best and absolutely fabulous. Here are my best dressed picks for the 2014 Academy Country Music Awards...

Cassadee Pope

Wearing red on the red carpet is very risque and tricky to master, but I absolutely think that Cassadee Pope has nailed choosing the correct red for walking the carpet. Cassadee is wearing a wine coloured Maria Lucia Hohan gown - the make and style of the dress is perfect for her frame with the elegant flowy skirt and criss cross straps. Because of the busy strapping of the gown, choosing to accessorize lightly was the right decision for her look. I love her natural looking waves - pulled back off of her face along with her natural make-up and a nude lip which balances out the bold red of the dress. With just a simple diamond bracelet and matching earrings, Cassadee looks simply gorgeous.

Shakira

Oh baby when you dress like that, you make a fashionista go mad! Shakira pun most definitely intended. This gown is totally crazy and out there but it totally works for the exotic spanish singer and I love it! Shakira is wearing an emerald green Zuhair Murad gown with amazing, bold cutouts. This dress reminds me of an alluring butterfly that mesmerizes any one who passes by and this is exactly what Shakira does (in this gown or even in sweatpants to be honest.) Once again, limited accessories was the right choice with this very daring dress as well as hair and make-up. When it comes to Shakira's look, less is more. Shakira shows off her gorgeous, thick, blond locks and her beautiful face with a natural make-up application. Stunning, stunning, stunning!

Taylor Swift

Miss Taylor Swift brings a crop top and maxi skirt to a whole other level! As always, the princess of country looks so chic on the red carpet. Going for a black and white look, Taylor turns a summery beach look into a red carpet ready ensemble. Cut outs, mid-section and a little leg showing gives the look a sexy and spicy addition without revealing too much. Her black strappy heels are great paired with her simple look as well as her matching black clutch. The trend on the ACMA's red carpet this year seemed to be limited jewellery, which you don't always need to layer up on the jewels to make a look pop. Taylor is showing off her new adorable short hair cut that adds a bit of edge to her classy and modern look. Miss Swift goes for blue eyeliner - making her blue eyes pop, and a big surprise here, instead of her signature red lip she goes for a coral colour instead which looks very springy and compliments the blue. 

Kellie Pickler

This year has been a very colourful year on the ACMA's red carpet - red, yellow, green, blue, nude, black and white and now Kellie Pickler in this gorgeous lilac coloured Romona Keveza gown. This dress looks amazing on Kellie and compliments her skin tone really well. The simple sweetheart neckline, a touch of sparkle on the waist and the long flowy gown definitely grabbed the attention of everyone last night on the country carpet. Kellie's short, wavy bob and natural make-up pairs well with the soft pastel coloured dress. A touch of diamonds on her wrist and finger creates an elegant fairy tale look on Miss Pickler!
