Academy Of Country Music Awards 2011 Red Carpet: Who Was Best-Dressed? (PHOTOS, POLL)

'Twas a sartorial rodeo in Las Vegas on Sunday night as the achy-breaky crème de la crème (plus a few surprises -- lookin' at you Brooklyn Decker) hit the 46th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards red carpet.

We counted one pair of overalls, one psychedelic suit and one Donald Rumsfeld, but the evening wasn't entirely a summit of the worst-dressed, Southern-style. Nicole Kidman put in her best showing in a while and Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Laura Bell Bundy all scored high marks à la mode, according to us.

Take a look and tell us who was best-dressed at the ACM Awards.

And remember, even if you list your music preference in public forums as "anything but country," you can still scroll through the slideshow. We won't tell.

Did I miss something... why was Donald Rumsfeld walking the red carpet?

This Big Shots thing is crap. Doesn't work for me at all. :(

Celine looks great, as does Nicole, whom I think always looks best with the red hair. But I think the best dressed was the young surfer a simple and elegant dress.

Some of the clothes were complete trash, but I don't think this is a country phenomenon as some of the Grammy attendees look like they could be working a corner.

Brooklyn Decker - best dressed. Nicole does look so much better with her natural red hair. She's still seems to be fooling around with botox and is getting to look pretty ridiculous.

I don't have a problem with botox or plastic surgery. I have a problem with celebrities who pretend not to indulge in it, implying that they are somehow better than the rest of us because they don't age the same way.

She apparently admitted to an interviewer recently that she uses a little botox. She's never admitted it before. A little? Does she thing we are stupid or what?

Steven Tyler was the prettiest girl in the room.

Never click on a poster's links. Learned that the hard way.

Brooklyn Decker is the cutest blonde to come around in a while. I think she runs circles around the rest...love the shoes, love the dress. She definitely should keep her clothes on tho. Her bikini pics bring attention to her weirdly shaped hips.

I wish Miranda Lambert wore clothes to accentuate her figure, not make it look worse.

Didn't Winona Judd lose a lot of weight a few weeks back (she was on Oprah talking about it)? Looks like she gained all of it back. Kidman (except for her face) looks best as well as Hough and Nettles.

Seriously-was he photoshopped in there?

Nicole looks great. I think she has put on a little weight and is just happy and glows. I have noticed that when she attends award shows with Keith Urban she tends to dress down and want the spotlight on her husband. She is showing she is not the star but is there in support of him. Keith is a big talent and I don't know why he has been nominated so many times but not won. Are the Country music awards bias against non-americans perhaps?

Also saw the bib overalls guy. What is it with the scraggly Barbie doll hairstyles? Most of the women would look cool with short hair. I watched "Civil War" (chapter one) on PBS 'til 10, then caught my man (because I am in my 60's), James Taylor. They kept him for the very end,so people like me would stay tuned. And, do they put up "Applause" signs? I swear those people yelled and clapped for no reason at all. The clothes? Said to my husband,"This SURE isn't the Oscars."
