Paisley and Underwood Spotlight Exhibit

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will be featured at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in a spotlight exhibit set to open January 18. The exhibit, Hosts with the Most: Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will include stage costumes worn by the artists when they hosted the 2010 CMA Awards last November. The exhibit is scheduled to stay open through June 30.
On display will be a black ensemble worn by Paisley, including a John Richmond jacket with gold-beaded lapels; and a pleated tulle ballerina dress, embellished with 15,000 rhinestones, worn by Underwood. The gown was designed by Georges Chakra, who used a traditional Turkish embroidery technique called sarma that was highly prized in the court of the Ottoman Empire.
The November 10, 2010 telecast marked the third consecutive year that Paisley and Underwood co-hosted the CMA Awards. Paisley was named CMA’s Entertainer of the Year that night.
