I love how the fabric of her dress transitions from color to color so elegantly! Love it

I think it looks like a black light painting. Not a fan.

Smile, Nicole!

I adore Nicole. She can do no wrong to me.

I love Nicole, but this dress seems like she was trying a bit to hard or not hard enough. I can't decide.

She looks amazing and I think it's fine for the CMA's.

Plus she has the perfect accessory, hot Keith in his fab charcoal suit.

Omg stunning! I love her dress. She looks gorgeous as usual.

I really like this dress...not the red lipstick though. I wish her hair was not so coif. A looser style would fit the dress a lot more

love!! amazing dress!!

I never would have expected her to wear something fun like this. But it still looks elegant which is something Nicole does really well. I like it!

I adore Nicole

I adore this dress! I loved it when I saw it in the runway photos!

She looks like she's at a luau, whatwever floats her boat, maybe she's comfortable???????

what a pretty dress!

Love the dress! But the look is just all wrong. She normally goes for a classic look, I don't think she can do modern.

Either unfortunate pic, or very uncomfortable body language.

I'm not a fan of this getup. Nicole looks beautiful not considering this dress.

She looks stunning!!! Best I've seen her in a long time She should give us a smile and then it would be perfect.

Whatever the opinion of the dress, it seems wrong for the CMA's. Should have went with simple classic.

I like it because its different.

lovely dress!

i usually like what she was wearing , but, not this time!

She looks stunning! What an AMAZING dress

LOVE IT!

not loving the dress, but she looks stunning.

just beautiful.....lovely dress...i would have gone for this too....not like some frequent horrible red carpet do that simply make u wonder: she looked in the mirror and IN SPITE OF THAT she decided to go out like this??

Oh how I long for the days of "Far and Away." She was a natural beauty then. Now, even though I adore her as an actress, she just looks like a mannequin. The lipstick choice...is that all wrong? Is it red? Am I seeing that correctly? Her dress is pink/purple, and she appears to be wearing a red shade of lipstick. I dunno. Doesn't quite work for me...and the 2 of them...just not looking so happy. .

She was a beautiful woman, i still love her, but she "botoxed" too much, that makes her face weird.

i love the dress, but it clashes with her lipstick!

i love the dress, hair and make-up but not together! the dress is more suited for a tropical-themed event or something during summer, not November.

i think if she had kept the hair/make-up and gone with an evening cocktail dress, it would have looked better. still, the dress is beautiful just not for the fall season!

I think she looks stunning and pulled it off terifficaly!

It's kind of a strange dress choice for her...it's not doing anything for me. It seems summery/tropical like nicachica said.

Her eyes look kind of bloodshot in that second photo...she doesn't look happy.

Not loving it... she does have gorgeous skin and a great body, but she looks weird... it just might be the red devil eyes. Has she never heard of Rohto eye drops?

Marcella, I was gonna say the same thing! Has this woman ever heard of Visine?

she would look great in a burlap bag...sheesh.

I am not digging this dress, wrong season, wrong everything!

I think if the hair and make-up were different, the dress would look much better.

stunning dress

I'm not so sure about this dress, its more spring-like. Why is she giving me an evil stare in the big picture? Scary!

fun, pretty dress

It would look hot as short dress aswell!

WOWWWWWWWW see, this is how ombre can look great - I want this dress! she looks incredible...
