Hundreds of celebrities arrived at the 2015 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, Wednesday in the hopes of collecting at least one award. Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton and more worked the carpet at the 49th annual award show, strutting their stuff for photographers.
While most were dressed to the nines, wearing gorgeous gowns, well-tailored suits and their best cowboy hats and/or boots, others took risks with their looks and they didn't all pay off. Some looks, like Underwood's floor-length tangerine dress, had viewers jaws on the floor and others, like Jason Aldean's 50 shades of brown, left much to be desired.
BEST: Newly divorced Miranda Lambert arrived at the Bridestone Arena in a simple, yet elegant look. If there's one thing viewers can take away from her 2015 CMA Awards red carpet style its that you can't go wrong with a little black dress, especially when that dress is Versace. Lambert, 31, also debuted new pink hair at the awards show.Getty ImagesBEST: United States soccer sensation Megan Rapinoe blew viewers away in a crushed velvet pant suit to end all pant suits at the 2015 CMA Awards on Wednesday.

Getty ImagesWORST: Jason Aldean arrived in Nashville, Tennessee, for the 2015 CMA Awards wearing this less-than-flattering look with his wife, Brittany Kerr, by his side. Between the numerous shades of grey and his poorly hemmed pants, there's not a whole lot to say about Aldean's, 38, red carpet look. Kerr, however, slayed in a simple black jumpsuit paired with a plum lip.Getty ImagesBEST: Country duo Maddie and Tae, consisting of Maddie Marlow (left) and Tae Dye (right), showed everyone at the 2015 CMA Awards how to work a red carpet. While Marlow, 20, opted for a more casual look she was able to dress it up with the addition of a bedazzled cover up and matching cowboy boots. Dye, 20, on the other hand, went for a sleek and very chic look, which she totally nailed.Getty ImagesWORST: Brantley Gilbert took to the red carpet outside the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, sporting this overly casual look that totally fell flat.Getty ImagesBEST: Carrie Underwood was a tangerine dream on the 2015 CMA Awards red carpet in this Gauri+Nainika gown on Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee at the Bridgestone Arena.

The ill-fitting angular black and white gown did little to flatter her figure and it's two-tone color scheme just flopped.Getty ImagesBEST: "Love Me Like You Mean It" singer Kelsea Ballerini floored viewers in this peach jumpsuit. Everything from the fit to the details to her matching peach heels was beyond perfect.
