What was up with Carrie Underwood's Grammys dress?Some of you were caught off guard by the light show Carrie Underwood put on during her Grammys performance Sunday. She used, of all things, her dress to make it happen.
It turns out the strapless number was a custom-made creation from Theia , crafted specifically for the "Idol" alum's Grammys set. According to People magazine, the dress was made over the span of three days as Theia's creative team formed Duchesse satin and 100 yards of tulle and crinoline into a gown that had a skirt that was 4 feet and 5 inches wide. That created a broad canvas for the production team to project visuals onto, such as butterflies, roses and stars. “We wanted it to be artful and dramatic,” Underwood, who won a Grammy for best country solo performance during the ceremony, said backstage. “I just like to stand still and sing sometimes, so this seemed like the best way I could do that and still create something visually attention-capturing."

goin w/ him...seems ok
Isnt that what jlzz looks like under ultraviolet light? Wouldnt surprise me...
Yes (speaking from experience)
a darling girl and treats me like gold...true boo!!!
All that matters is what's UNDER Carrie Underwood's dress. For example, does the carpet match the drapes?
does it more when other is not present...
wishing i could care about this
On a related note, Disney has been doing this with their castle at Disney World for years.
I like it!
Her huge dress will be 100% tax deductible, as long as she can't move around in it.
I think it was very innovative. She's young and it was different. At least she doesn't make a complete and utter fool out of herself like that "Lady Gaga" does every time she opens her mouth or goes anywhere. I keep wondering from what planet she sprang from??????
I did too...i think she is great...and lets gooooooooo Mountaineers
this is a copy of Franck Sorbier Fashion Show Haute couture Last year see my article on http://www.canal-luxe.org/?p=15632
wanna see it again.
Someone's been watching "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding."
totally tacky! at least the gypsies would have the decency to sew in led lights.
I really don't see anything wrong with her dress or outfit whatever you want to call it. Whoever posted this probably had nothing else to talk about other than answer their own question.
Needs more cowbell.
squishy and tight for valentine's day
Her dress is awsomeeee!!!!!
AGREE !!
Give her a break. She was just trying to make up for a lack of talent.
Carrie is extremely talented... that is more than evident. No idea what you're basing your tasteless remark on... You obviously have never studied music... clueless...
No talent...are you kidding me..check your banking ....I think she she wins...
Obviously most of us don't share your musical taste. Sorry, Simon, you suck!
@Wowfie, You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Carrie is an amazing singer. Not sure what type of crap music you listen to but Carrie Underwood will be around for years to come unlike most of what bubble gum pop is being played today. She is a great artist. Your comment was uncalled for.
how much money you got wowfie....thats what i thought. You and Laquanda should hang out
i thought you were with wowfie...she's rich
I love my Country stars but I gotta say, wardrobe is NOT the strong suite with these people. I don't care through...
Adele sings country better than Carrie.
But...Adele doesn't sing country.
Exactly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – obviously, those who think Carrie didn't look absolutely outstanding, beautiful, classy and pure has no sense of taste and class – best not to even waste their time posting – no one cares about those who insult the obviously talented and gorgeous Carrie Underwood – get a life
I have yet to see any country singer, past or present have a shred of taste when it comes to wardrobe.
Moron
What are you talking about? This was absolutely cool. And I'm not a fan of country music. Also, I think she's a class act. Just like Kelly Clarkson and many others.
You obviously don't know class when you see it lady
That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was a feast for the eyes. The dress was the most exciting anyway just the way it was. She is always so tastefully dressed in spite of taking chances with so many styles. I sure hope that some how we will be able to see that done again but technically it takes a still background. Maybe in Opera it could be used to enhance the story or what is going on in a performers mind. A big leap forward in this technology world.
I think it was originally used in Star Wars. Princes Lea wore one very similar during her wedding to Han Solo.
Too bad it can't make her a better singer.
carrie underwood sucks...
Pirates dont RRRRRRR, they ARRGHHH! Duh
A much better singer than Taylor Swift...
Strangle two cats and argue over which sounded better?
Miss Carrie Underwood had the most beautiful dress and she's the most beautiful lady she's more beautiful than
anyboby else and I got a huge crush on her and I want her for a girlfriend.
RRRRRRRR I'm Laquanda and I'm a pirate girl. RRRRRRRRR.
Wow...can you say "stalker"?
Good luck and I agree.
