What to Wear to Thursday's 2012 CMA Awards

It's not just another "barefoot blue jean night"...well if you are lucky enough to snag tickets that is. 

Although we love this nominated artist and that gorgeous smile of his, Jake Owen amongst many of today’s hottest artists will be gracing the red carpet at The 46^th Annual CMA awards this Thursday evening. Always a festive night to be remembered, many Music City revellers have been waiting with anticipation and strategizing their dress to impress numbers since the close of the ceremony last year. I mean let's be honest, besides all the fabulous hit performances by the best of the best in country music, the other main attraction of the evening is the red carpet trend spotting. We all want to know who and what everyone is wearing and the past few decades have brought out some pretty outrageous looks from all sides of the spectrum. Studded leather cowboy boots or Louboutins, whatever your fancy, we expect to see a little bit of it all this year.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and check out some of the WOW factors we have seen at past ceremonies.

Burgundy: Fall's New "It" Color

At last--a wine that goes with everything! Bordeaux, burgundy, whatever you want to call it, this new rich shade of purpley red hue is taking the stage. Named Fall 2012's new "it" color, stylists have gone so far to say that beautiful burgundy has put black on the back burner. And isn't it the truth--from dresses to coats, to skirts, bags, and pants, whether as an accent or the main statement, we're seeing it everywhere. Just like the little black dress, it's simply a closet must have! No worries if you're a few shades off--rusk reds, oxfords, and crimsons all still play to the trend. Our stylists are here to make sure you do it up right with mix and match pieces that will have your friends practically gushing!
