STAY GOLDEN

The source of Carrie Underwood’s red carpet glow? We’d say it’s partly her sparkling Lorena Sarbu gown, partly that whole mom-to-be thing.

UNRUFFLED

She may be expecting a boy (thanks for the tip, co-host Brad Paisley!), but the star herself was all girl in her blush-pink Randi Rahm baby doll dress and Brian Atwood sandals.

BEDAZZLING

Say what you will about Carrie’s style, but you can’t say she’s afraid to make a sparkly statement. The star chooses her third embellished number of the night – this one a bodycon silhouette by Randi Rahm.

MINI MOMENT

We don’t know what’s most mesmerizing about her fourth look: Those glossy waves? That sparkly leopard mini (also Randi Rahm)? Those unbelievable legs (in Bionda Castana heels)? Luckily we don’t have to choose.

BABY BLUE

After a bunch of flirty minis and lots of sparkle, the star goes for a slightly more subdued look: a pale mint Christian Siriano gown with a slashed bodice and ruffled detail.

GYPSY WOMAN

We didn’t expect Carrie to revert to caftans this early in her pregnancy, but she looks so glam in hers, she kinda makes us want one of our own. The star accents her sparkly emerald Randi Rahm number with matching earrings and a half-up do.

OH SO TOGA

Laura Farr/AdMedia

As it turns out, the star is full of surprises: She introduces Brad’s performance in a color she rarely wears (red), a silhouette we hardly ever see on her (one-shoulder and flowy) and – most shocking of all – there’s not a sequin to be seen. (The dress is Pamella, Pamella Roland and the lipstick is Almay’s “Apple a Day”.)

NEW ROMANTIC

To perform “Something in the Water,” Carrie’s back to a look she loves: A flowy, ethereal greige gown embroidered with floral appliqués on the bodice.

GUNMETAL AND GLAM

The shape of the star’s ninth look is simple – a V-neck cap-sleeve Theia column gown. But the allover beading, sparkling pink accessories and big ol’ curls elevate the look to the next level.

PETALS AND PINK

The look that inspired a thousand “Is that a crop top?!”s in the PEOPLE newsroom: Carrie’s two-piece one-shoulder Theia look, consisting of a floral bodice and flowing magenta skirt. (And for the record, yes, it is a crop top!)

BLUE BELLE

The star finishes out the night on an elegant note, draping her her bump in a sapphire ruched off-the-shoulder Nicole Miller gown and sporting her signature soft waves and pale pink lip.
