Carrie Underwood lit up the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday night in Nashville, Tennessee, when she arrived in a stunning gray-blue dress.
The 39-year-old country queen showed off her toned legs in the look, which featured a high slit, as she was accompanied by husband Mike Fisher, 42.
Carrie kept all eyes on her as she returned to the stage wearing two new ensembles, including a sparkly green and pink dress and an edgy black outfit adorned with dangling fringe.

Carrie’s dress featured tightly gathered fabric, including a darker satin fabric and a lighter sheer fabric, which was arranged in a plunging neckline that highlighted her cleavage.
The dress left one arm exposed while featuring a small ruffled sleeve around her other arm.
The fabric was layered haphazardly around her stomach, but the dress included a high slit revealing the hitmaker’s toned legs.
The look included a modest train trailing behind her, and she arranged her blonde locks into delicate waves that cascaded over her shoulders.

The show opened with a flashback of late country legend Loretta Lynn – who died on October 4 at age 90 – accepting a CMA award decades earlier, while noting how special it was because it was his first of the organization.
Carrie was the first performer the audience saw, as she took the stage immediately after the clip to perform Lynn’s classic song, You Ain’t Woman Enough.

The singer contrasted the more subdued colors of her red carpet look with a sparkly dress with a top half in a lime green hue, while the bottom half of the skirt was bubblegum pink.
The most modest dress, which featured thick straps and a puffy skirt with a strapless bodice, was decorated with shimmering sequins that lit up the scene.
The performance signaled that Lynn was too big a figure to be covered by a single artist, so Carrie was joined by country royalty Miranda Lambert and Reba McEntire, who both took their own solo tours with other songs.
Miranda looked playful in a black mini dress with a fringed top and colorful embroidery, while Reba opted for a black western suit with sparkly green fringe and accents on her sleeves and pant legs.
