Byline: --KATE SULLIVAN
Underwood's pedigree-- American Idol winner, Grammy-awarded country singer--is impressive in the music world. In the fashion world, it would usually spell disaster, which is why her discovery of an understated style is such a coup. Underwood is adventurous without being outrageous--she has a variety of dresses that suit her wholesome personality without any saccharine sweetness. She favors feminine touches--a few ruffles, a little sparkle--but the look is far from the Grand Ole Opry stereotype. She loves an interesting neckline; a blue one-shoulder dress is flirty, while a white minidress with a diamond cutout suggests sexy cleavage without actually showing much of it. Her dresses are typically flowing, not skintight--a red gown with a plunging V-neck is about as revealing as Underwood will get.
Loves of a Blonde
Underwood has great hair: long, shiny, and the perfect bright shade of blonde. And she knows exactly how to show it off, with a head-turning range of styles. When she wears her hair straight with a bit of volume on top or falling in curls on her shoulders, she looks youthful even in the most sophisticated floor-length gown. Her updos are appealingly unfussy, with soft, side-swept bangs or a cluster of curls visible in the back .
