    She was pretty in a pure blush pink then at the premiere of 'Enchanted' in 2007, yet a much more confident Carrie rocked the same shade at the 2016 CMA Awards red carpet.

    Animal prints have always been a 'yes,' though her red leopard gown during the 2005 finale of 'American Idol' makes her metallic zebra dress for the 2011 BMI Country Awards look tame by comparison.

    Carrie has always kept that down-to-earth, girl-next-door fashion sense, whether it was during the 'American Idol' finale in '05 or her 2016 Storyteller tour.

    She managed to make floral look both sweet (on an 'Idol' performance show in 2005) and sexy (at the 2016 CMT Awards).

    As a finalist on 'American Idol' in 2005, a young Carrie paired a blazer with big blonde curls; her blazer look on New Year's Eve 2016 clearly demonstrated how far she's come fashion-wise.

    At the 2006 CMA Awards, Carrie turned heads in an open-back white and metallic dress; the 2012 version for the Grammy Awards included softer hair and longer sleeves.

    What's black and white and pretty all over? Two of Carrie's most memorable dresses: A more innocent choice for a Grammys after-party in 2007, and her more daring pick for the 2010 People's Choice Awards.

    In all black with teased hair at a 2014 photo shoot, Carrie showed a little leg. But those same elements came together in a much sleeker way for the 2016 Grammy Awards.

    She popped in pink at the 2010 CMT Music Awards, and again in London in 2013.

    She tried the refreshing red-pants-with-boots trend in London in 2012, then kicked things up several notches for the 'We're All 4 The Hall' benefit concert in 2014.

    Carrie dazzled in a long white gown at the 2010 at the Grammy Awards--and liked the look so much, she used it to dress her baby bump in 2014 at the American Country Countdown Awards.

    Strapless, pink, flowers: The combo worked like a charm in 2007 for the CMT Awards, and again in 2013 for the ACM Awards.
