Diamond Diva Dish

OK, I have been righteously dissed by a Carrie Underwood fan, who slammed me for cutting off the picture of her diamond dress at the Country Music Awards last fall. Actually, we were both a bit mixed up, but I shall take the high road and clear all this up.

The photo that I first put up:

does NOT cut off the Kwiat dress. Because this photo is not from the CMA’s, it’s from the AMA’s. (Who can keep up with all that, and right in the middle of holiday shopping?) At the American Music Awards, Carrie wore this:

Clearly, not the diamond dress.

But at the CMA’s, she did indeed wear a gown by David Rodriguez with nearly 800 diamonds, supplied by Kwiat. Most of the diamonds are on the straps, so this over-the-shoulder shot gives you the best view:

Thanks to Cristy for the heads up on this amazing dress!

The Dixie Chicks may not be discussed here due to Natalie Maines. Not her political beliefs, but her new hair. I mean, what a situation.

The Chili Peppers came in wife-beaters and ratty tuxedo vests. Mary G. Blige kept crying. What a mess.

This year’s Grammy Jewelry Diva made her first statment of intent at the CMA’s last November.

Yes, despite some rude behavior from Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood kept her cool and was the Diva of the Day. I haven’t been able to determine what stone is hanging inside that yellow gold. Please post if you think you might know.

But back to the matter of the moment: the Grammys.

I’ve tried to blow up this pic, but it just blurs, so I can’t get a really good look at those earrings. But let’s be clear — I know a pair of fabulous diamond chandeliers when I see them. Carrie Underwood, welcome to the Diamond Diva Dish!
