Red Carpet Report Card: 2011 ACM Awards
Grade: A
As usual, the country cutie did not disappoint upon arriving at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards -- held at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas -- wearing a gorgeous pale yellow Elie Saab Couture gown. Neil Lane jewels and long wavy locks completed her elegant ensemble.
Carrie Underwood
Grade: B+
Carrie Underwood -- who's also know for her impeccable sense of style -- picked a deep purple Jean Fares Couture frock for the occasion. While it didn't necessarily do her fab physique justice, Carrie still looked stunning.
Grade: F
On the flip side, mother-daughter duo Wynonna and Naomi Judd -- who aren't exactly known for being fashion plates -- also lived up to their reputations when they arrived wearing these garish getups.
Grade: C
While she's currently one of country music's hottest stars, Miranda Lambert's low-cut, Grecian-style Lorena Sarbu gown was far from white hot. Instead of accentuating her curves, we have a feeling Miranda spent most of the night worrying about how to contain them!
Grade: B+
Also opting for a Grecian goddess look was Martina McBride, who paired her one-shoulder Pamella Roland creation with an opulent gold belt and shoulder-grazing tassel earrings.
Grade: D
Reba McEntire, who co-hosted the show, hit the red carpet in a lackluster copper-colored gown, which perfectly matched her fiery tresses. A gothic cross choker and black cuff topped off her confusing look.
Grade: B+
Hillary Scott flanked by bandmates Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood glammed it up in a gorgeous, beaded Georges Chakra gown and bold bangs.
Grade: B
"Gossip Girl" hunk Chace Crawford showed up for the event sporting slick-backed hair and a gray suit, which he dressed down with a casual, gray henley shirt. Think he was cheering on his ex-girlfriend Carrie Underwood?
Grade: B+
The pro dancer-turned-country singer strutted her stuff in a sexy coral halter dress. That Ryan Seacrest is one lucky guy, eh
Grade: B-
Sugarland's Kristian Bush stepped out in his signature suit and fedora, while Jennifer Nettles sported a black gown with interesting web detailing. Unfortunately, we couldn't take our eyes off her tacky wing-adorned heart tattoo!
Grade: B
Sara Evans showed off her gams in a sparkly-yet-rather-casual BCBG Max Azria dress, blazer, and strappy platform sandals.
Grade: B
Former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker opted to pair his crisp white blazer with a purple button-down and matching tie. Salt-and-pepper scruff completed his summery look.
Grade: B
Following in Rucker's footsteps was former "American Idol" contestant Casey James, who suited up and even pulled his hair back into a ponytail for the occasion.
Grade: C-
Another "Idol," Diana DeGarmo, attempted to get all dolled up for the awards show ... in a pink prom bomb.
Grade: B-
Luke Bryan took a fashion risk by pairing his black jeans with a funky patterned black blazer. Do you think it was a hit ... or a miss?
Grade: D
"iCarly star/aspiring country singer Jennette McCurdy may only be 18, but she's certainly old enough to realize that her hideous, rhinestone-adorned Mandalay mini and hot pink peep-toes would garner her attention for all the wrong reasons!
Grade: B+
While everyone might not agree, Jake Owen scored extra points with us for daring to be different in a dapper burgundy-and-gray pin-striped suit, which he accessorized with cowboy boots and boutonniere.
Grade: A-
All eyes were on actress/singer Laura Bell Bundy thanks to her shimmering, embroidered Jean Fares Couture strapless mermaid gown.

Model/actress Brooklyn Decker modeled her new, short 'do in a simple -- yet classy -- form-fitting Victoria Beckham frock.
Grade: D+
Alabama's Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry, and Randy Owen have been together since 1969, but they might want to consider updating their look!
Grade: B-
Aside from her skunk-like locks, Sunny Sweeney played it safe in a navy, strapless number.
Grade: C
Steel Magnolia's Meghan Linsey donned a ruffled Ina Soltani design, which she accessorized with black nails, a sparkling clutch, and a seriously outdated matronly 'do.
Grade: C+
Unfortunately, Katherine Heigl's singer/songwriter hubby Josh Kelley ruined his navy suit and checked shirt combo with a wrinkly tie.
Grade: B-
Musical sisters Emily, Becky, and Joanna Robertson looked cute in their minis. Too bad they paired their fun frocks with clunky footwear!
Grade: B+
Despite their drastically different skin hues, Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman color-coordinated perfectly for the awards show in dark ensembles. Keith looked comfy in his suit thanks to his open-collar shirt, while Nicole vamped it up in a snakeskin L'Wren Scott frock, fur bolero, and black Manolo Blahniks.
