Between the incredible musical performances and impressive awards, last night's CMA Awards kept us entertained throughout the evening. Possibly the most awe-inspiring event, though, was the dizzying array of costume changes host Carrie Underwood had—12 to be exact!

Among the dozen were a few showstoppers, like a strapless fiery red ruched floor-length gown by Chagoury Couture and an embellished tulle cocktail number and a stunning beaded long-sleeved dress by Jovani.

Other head-turning ensembles included a white peplum sheath dress with standout yellow and black sandals and a midriff-baring two-piece cobalt blue outfit, a risky deviation from Underwood's typical ladylike style.

All in all, the country cutie pulled out all of the fashion stops with glamorous looks that showed her versatility as a style icon and penchant for dazzling designer looks. From glittery gowns to sexy satin numbers, the show-stopping outfits worn by the CMA host were award-winning themselves.
