Country chic was the theme of the red carpet at the American Country Awards.

From Carrie Underwood's shimmery peach dress and Jewel's hot pink sequined gown to Miranda Lambert's metallic mini dress, country's finest glimmered in sparkly dresses.

Hostess with the mostest, Kristin Chenoweth sought to beat Anne Hathaway's Oscar wardrobe-change record, donning an array of colors and styles throughout the evening.

In addition to sparkly styles, color was everywhere. From cobalt and emerald to hot pink, country's leading ladies created a red carpet rainbow. Balancing out the brights were LeAnn Rimes and Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott in sexy LBDs.

Cutouts were the night's other big trend, with Carmen Electra donning two different slitted styles, and Scott, Natasha Bedingfield and Lauren Alaina rocking dresses with cutout necklines.
