CMA Awards

Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley co-hosted the Country Music Association Awards last night (click here for a full list of CMA Award winners) and did so in style.

They sang a little song dedicated to Hank Williams Jr. and his recent ESPN troubles, with the maligned, Obama-hating singer himself showing up at the end.

Pretty funny stuff.

Then, after Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet joined them on stage to present the first award, they brought up another very crucial event, in song form:

Carrie Underwood CMA Awards Opening

Of course, we're talking about Kim Kardashian's split from "what's his name," Stonestreet said. So they all sang about Kim's marital woes, obviously.

Justin Bieber's alleged impregnation of Mariah Yeater and other events and stars also made it into the number, which delighted the audience in Nashville.

Kudos to Carrie and Brad for a fun, light-hearted intro.

The 2011 CMA Awards featured plenty of familiar faces as winners.

Newlyweds Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert took home a pair of awards on Wednesday night, for male and female vocalist of the year, respectively.

"Congrats to my hubby too," Lambert said in her acceptance speech and, addressing her loving husband: "It's gonna be a good night tonight baby!"

No idea specifically what that entailed, but use your imagination.

At their first time attending the CMAs as nominees, The Band Perry - siblings Kimberly Perry, Reid Perry and Neil Perry - took home New Artist of the Year.

The trio also were awarded the honors of single of the year and song of the year for their hit single "If I Die Young" at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.

"We have six pairs of fingers crossed," Kimberly Perry said on the red carpet.

Taylor Swift, obviously, took home the biggest prize, entertainer of the year.

"You have made my year," she said, giving shout outs to singers she's collaborated with, including Justin Bieber, Kenny Chesney and Nicki Minaj.

From performances by Taylor Swift and Gwyneth Paltrow to the co-hosting cuteness of Carrie Underwood, last night's Country Music Association Awards had it all.

It's the fashion we're focused on here, however. Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman (left), wore Dolce & Gabbana in support of her nominated husband, Keith Urban.

Sheryl Crow, meanwhile, showed her toned physique in one-shoulder gown accented with a bold and bright print at the hem. Who was dressed best? Vote!

Best known as Blair on Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester also appears in Country Strong (check out star Gwyneth Paltrow's CMA Awards performance from last night).

Was her fashion sense strong enough to take on Katherine Heigl's, though? That's for you to say. With Katie's sapphire Farah Angsana gown, it could be tough.

Leighton certainly holds her own in a trailing, draped Emilio Pucci gown, Cathy Waterman jewelry and Jimmy Choo sandals, but whose dress do you prefer?

Who looked better at the CMA Awards?

Earlier, we compared the style selections of Carrie Underwood and LeAnn Rimes at last night's CMA Awards. Now it's time for another fabulous fashion face-off.

Who looked better at the CMA Awards?

The CMA Awards handed out at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena last night honored the best in country music. Here, we look to establish the best in celebrity style.

Carrie Underwood, the event's co-host, brought big-city style to Nashville in a curve-hugging, strapless, gray gown by Talbot Runhof, with a Swarovski clutch.

LeAnn Rimes, meanwhile, may or may not be engaged to Eddie Cibrian, but she definitely opted for a shorter, sleeker look on the event's black carpet.
