The 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards provided the perfect "excuse" for a little glamour yesterday, especially where Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood were concerned. Both singers chose floor-length creations for the occasion, but that's where the similarities ended. Swift sparkled in a gold form-fitting Dolce & Gabbana number, which also featured a bejewelled art deco-inspired neckline and a sexy low back. Underwood stuck to her red carpet MO with a bright floral-print strapless gown by Naeem Khan, coral chandelier earrings, and a black clutch. We're leaving it to you to decide who earned best-dressed status!

2012 American Music Awards: Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood looks darling in magenta at the 2012 American Music Awards. The country singer's dress is figure-hugging in all the right places, and completely sequinned.

The CMAs Turned Out a Glamorous Battle of the Blondes
With Taylor Swift's red-and-nude embellished Jenny Packham gown, Carrie Underwood's slightly edgier gilded Reem Acra number, and Hayden Panettiere's sparkly Georges Chakra Couture minidress leading the CMAs red-carpet pack, one thing came through loud and clear. The evening's festivities could easily have been reimagined as a glamorous "battle" of the blondes. Only providing more fashion fuel to the fire, US country music stars Miranda Lambert and Faith Hill added their own brand of award-night elegance, in Maria Lucia Hohan and Roland Mouret, respectively. Each dramatic ensemble deserves a closer look — for every princess-like chiffon skirt and girlie frill, there's a darker element of appliqué and skin-baring detail. And, lest we forget, there were also the high-wattage clutches, bold green accents, and statement earrings to lust after, too. Ready to zoom in? It's time to give this battle its best-dressed victor.

Rate It or Hate It: Carrie Underwood's Scarlet Lady Look

Carrie Underwood gives good red carpet. From the tulle-rific Talbot Runhof gown she donned last month, to her grecian inspired Grammys gown, Carrie knows how to frock up! She stepped out at today's American Country Awards, in Las Vegas, in this hard-to-miss shade of scarlet dress by Georges Chakra. The designer also designed Carrie's Grammys dress, and this number from his Fall '10 line is just as gorgeous. The sheer, off the shoulder sequinned detailing separates this from the plethora of red dresses we've seen of late, and the thigh high split makes it muchos sexier than the red-hot number the other Carey wore just yesterday. What's your take on Carrie's fire-starter look? Hot diggity? Or ho-hum?
