Leggy LeAnn Rimes's rarely seen without her boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, but tonight LeAnn Rimes decided to walk the red carpet alone as she attended the CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennesee.
The singer, who is set to present an award during the ceremony, lead the parade of country cuties in a thigh-skimming green dress that featured sparkling detailing around the neckline.
Taylor Swift also flaunted her long and lean legs with a sweetheart strapless gown that was slashed to the thigh. She teamed the confection with strappy heels and Neil Lane jewels.
Carrie Underwood, who plays hostess at the annual awards show for the third consecutive year, wore a dramatic Talbot Runhof metallic gown.
She joined fellow American Idol star Kellie Pickler, who wore a glittering gold gown, for a quick reunion hug.
Gwyneth Paltrow, who will perform her new song Country Strong at the ceremony, put her toned figure on display in a cut-out gown.
Fellow Hollywood star Nicole Kidman was also out in force to support her singer husband, Keith Urban.
The actress was dressed in a demure white lace frock which she teamed with bright orange shoes.
Inside, Brad Paisley claimed the top prize entertainer of the year at the Country Music Association awards on Wednesday, but it was Miranda Lambert who was the big winner with three honours including female vocalist and album of the year for Revolution.
Lambert, who turned 27 years-old on what is billed as country music's biggest night, topped off a banner 2010 in which she became engaged to singer Blake Shelton, who also was a victor at the CMAs with the award for male vocalist.
'I don't know what's going on, Lambert said, accepting her trophy for female vocalist. 'I just told Blake I think we need to go to church.'
Standing next to her was country legend Loretta Lynn, who was honored by event organizers for 50 years in the industry.
'It's been ten years since I started making music,' Lambert told reporters backstage. 'I feel more level headed than I thought I would. I hope it's the beginning. I hope in 50 years I'm like Loretta Lynn.'
Earlier in the show, Lambert said Revolution, whose songs include The House That Built Me and That's the Way That the World Goes 'Round, had caused 'a revolution in my life.'
Indeed, in the past year Lambert's popularity has soared. She entered the night as the most-nominated female singer in the history of the CMAs with nine nods, overall.
Ahead of the telecast, she won best music video for The House That Built Me, and that record also earned song of the year honors for writers Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin.
Paisley pleased the crowd with his co-hosting duties alongside Carrie Underwood and a tearful speech when accepting his trophy for the year's best country entertainer.
He thanked his family, his fans and said the night really was about honoring his grandfather, who died in 1987.
'This is a man who loved Buck Owens and he loved Johnny Cash,' Paisley said. 'He said, "I want you to learn to play the guitar because this is going to get you through lonely times, and you'll never be alone with this."'
After the show, Paisley said that if ever there was ever a year he wanted to win his award, it was this one.
'The day before the flood in Nashville back in May, we had everything we needed to start our tour in three weeks. Two days later we had almost nothing. But in three weeks we opened the tour...It went off without a hitch and the rest of the tour was the same,' Paisley said.
In other key awards, Lady Antebellum picked up the trophy for single of the year with their mega hit Need You Now, marking the second straight year the group has won that award. The trio also nabbed the honour, vocal group of the year.
'We couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate a most incredible year in our lives,' band member Hillary Scott said after the awards. 'This is one for the record book for us. If nothing happens the rest of our lives this would still be incredible.'
The Zac Brown Band was named new artist of the year, and the group performed their hit single, As She's Walking Away.
But when it came to performances, all eyes were on Hollywood movie star and Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow, who sang the title song of her upcoming film Country Strong.
Paltrow, who is married to rocker Chris Martin of Coldplay, sang and strummed her guitar alongside Vince Gill, turning in a solid performance that brought her a standing ovation.
She proved her mettle as a country singer after hosts Paisley and Underwood poked fun at her early in the show as just one more Hollywood star shooting for country stardom.
In their third consecutive year hosting the CMAs, Paisley and Underwood also took a comical shot at Lady Antebellum, whom Paisley jokingly confused with pop star Lady Gaga.
Other performances included country legend George Strait, rock/country crossover artist Kid Rock, Kenny Chesney and Sugarland, who won vocal duo of the year.
In awards given ahead of the telecast, musical event of the year honors went to Shelton for his song "Hillbilly Bone" featuring Trace Adkins.
'That's how I like to start the night,' the Oklahoma native declared, 'now I can relax and get drunk!' Little did Shelton know that later in the evening the male vocalist trophy would be his and his fiancee Lambert would be the big winner.
