The better half of the country music's most high-profile power couple, Faith Hill showed off her toned shoulders in a strapless dress in a shade that looks pale lavender in some shots and heather gray in others.

Kellie Pickler was sporting a dramatic new look with porcelain skin, auburn locks and a shiny silver dress. The former American Idol contestant is looking curvaceous and fresh-faced.

Speaking of American Idol, another former contestant, Diana DeGarmo is also rocking a whole new style with jet-black long hair and a bright pink frock that highlights her deep tan and trim figure. She seems like a sweet girl, but something looks...off.

Scandal magnet, LeeAnn Rimes showed up in an pristine white gown, perhaps to give off the illusion of appearing angelic. While I'm loving her mani-pedi and peep-toe action, the eye makeup's not doing her any favors.

Gallery Info: Reba McEntire, LeAnn Rimes, Lee Ann Womack, Nancy O'Dell, Barbara Mandrel, Jessica Harp, Kellie Pickler, Robin Roberts, Patrica Heaton, Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Jennifer Nettles, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Jennette McCurdy, Miranda Lambert and Diana DeGarmo on the red carpet for the 43rd Annual CMA Awards at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

Letting her hair down for this year's Country Music Association Awards, Nicole Kidman looked happy to be on the arm of her man, country singer, Keith Urban.

The Academy Award-winning actress made a splash onthe red carpet in a fitted pink, textured dress with a plunging neckline and cap sleeves. Keith looked chick in a charcoal suit and black shirt, that was unbuttoned JUST enough to show off his crazy tattoo underneath.

It turned out to be a huge night for Taylor Swift at the 43rd Annual Country Music Awards. The singer took home the Entertainer of the Year award, and became the youngest person ever, at the age of 19, to win the coveted award.

She also won awards for Female Vocalist of the Year, Music Video of the Year for her song "Love Story" and Album of the Year with Fearless.

"I'll never forget this moment because at this moment everything that I ever wanted has just happened to me," a tearful Swift said when accepting her award.

The fan favorite also had some fun at the expense of rap star Kanye West, who last month interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Music Video Awards by rushing onto the stage and telling the audience that R&B star Beyonce -- and not Swift -- should have won best female video.

"I want to thank every single person here tonight for not running up on stage during this speech," Swift said when picking up her trophy for female vocalist.

Walking the red carpet at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards at the Sommet Center on November 11, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee is Taylor Swift.

The 19-year-old singer, who is scheduled to open the show from Nashville, earned four nominations this year - including a chance at the prestigious entertainer of the year prize.

"We definitely think she has a great shot at it," the members of Gloriana, who opened for Swift on tour this year, gushed simultaneously at the BMI Country Awards Tuesday night. "We just hope we're sitting close enough to hug her neck when she does!"

Of course Swift will have to compete for the top honor against some of country music's heavyweights, including four-time winner Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, George Strait and Brad Paisley, who will also co-host the telecast with Carrie Underwood.

I'm sure that Taylor Lautner wishes he could be there with you Taylor. Virtual hug!

It was a convergence of young and old at the 57th Annual BMI Country Awards. 19-year-old Taylor Swift won the prize for Song of the Year for the second year in a row and told the crowd, "I just want to say to every songwriter and every loved one of a songwriter, thank you, because you are the reason I wanted to try Nashville. You are all my heroes."

Assuredly included on her list of influences is country music legend, Kris Kristofferson, who was honored on stage with a tribute sung by Patty Griffin, Vince Gill and Willie Nelson. Songwriter Kris was bashful accepting the praise, telling the audience, "I'm very honored, but I'm really uncomfortable with everybody saying something praiseworthy and I feel stupid."

And high-profile country music couple, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, were out for date night at the event with Keith dressed in a snazzy dark suit and Nicole wearing a fetching red dress with a perfectly-placed black bow.

Many familiar faces took to the stage at this year's Glamour magazine's Women of the Year awards. Celebrity presenters at Carnegie Hall in New York City included movie star couple, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, former President Bill Clinton, Katie Couric and three Beatle wives.

It was model Iman who presented Rihanna with her prize for the evening and told the audience, "Now I am even more impressed with her dignity and courage."

Fashion designer and daughter of Beatle Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, received her award when it was presented to her by John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono; George Harrison's widow; Olivia Harrison and Ringo Starr's wife, Barbara Starkey.

Emmy award-winning talk show host, Tyra Banks, presented tennis player, Serena Williams, with her award and encouraged the women in the crowd, "You can do whatever you want to do. The most important belief is self-belief."

Of course, the best line was uttered by comedian Amy Poehler, who addressed the female contingent of the audience by advising, "Girls, if boys say something that's not funny, you don't have to laugh."

21-year-old  Rihanna, put away her black leather for the occasion of the Glamour Women of the Year and instead donned a long, white, floor-length stunner of a white gown. The pop star took to the stage to accept her prize for Woman of the Year joked as she entered the stage from a side entrance, "I couldn't possibly make it up here in this dress. As usual, I decided to wear the tightest dress I could find."

However, the "Umbrella" singer soon became emotional and admitted to the crowd, "I am shaking right now. I am so nervous. But I am overwhelmed and honoured over this honour." She added, "It was a real honor to be named Glamour's Woman of the Year, especially because I think of myself as just becoming a woman. I just turned 21 this year." The young Barbados native then read through her prepared list of thank yous, which included Jay-Z, Glamour editor-in-chief, Cindi Leive, her mother and grandmother.

Of going public about her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's assault on her earlier this year, the singer said, "It was like a weight lifted off my chest and now I don't have to talk about it anymore. I can talk about my music, things that I love."

Personally, I'm loving the dress. Anyone else?

Twilight stars, Nikki Reed and Anna Kendrick, admitted to being nervous about having to deliver speeches at the 4th Annual Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards in Hollywood. However, once the ladies were finished with their presenting duties for the evening, the audience was treated to a special "behind the camera" video clip from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which premieres later this month.

Fellow on-screen duo, Zooey Deschanel and her 500 Days of Summer co-star, Joseph Gordon-Levitt also took to the stage to present an award to their film's screenwriters, Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber.

On her way up the stairs, Zooey nearly tripped, in contrast to Star Trek star, Zoe Saldana, who glided effortlessly up to the podium in a pair of purple snakeskin Salvatore Ferragamo stilettos. To be fair, Saldana had received extensive training on her feet from Avatar's stunt choreographer, Garrett Warren, to whom she presented a prize for his work.

Starring as Bella Swan's enthusiastic friend, Jessica, in Twilight, Anna Kendrick first earned recognition on the big screen. And Kendrick has certainly been successful in striking out on her own since appearing in the tween vampire drama.

The 24-year-old actress took on the role as Natalie opposite George Clooney in Up in the Air, but tells the L.A. Times, "I spent every day from the moment I won the part sure I was about to be fired."

Kendrick explains, "Each day was the day I knew they would realize they actually wanted Evan Rachel Wood. Then the first day on set. I showed up with a cold and I thought no one would like me because I'm the girl who showed up sick, and George told me to have chicken soup and to listen to him because he had played a doctor on TV. And I thought, 'It will all be all right.'"

However, before you get to thinking that she's left Jessica behind in the dust, Anna says, "It was sort of fun because Natalie is so rigid and I got to go and play the silliest girl on the planet, so it was getting to run and jump and play a little." Have fun, frolicking, little one!
