Carrie Underwood’s Dress Goes On Display

Carrie Underwood’s dress from her “Something in the Water” music video.

The dress worn by Carrie Underwood in her music video for “Something in the Water” is part of a new display at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando in Orlando, Florida.

The property has completed a multi-million dollar renovation for its 15th anniversary this year.

The collection also includes: the suit John Lennon wore in the Beatles’ classic 1964 film debut, A Hard Day’s Night; a latex gown worn by Lady Gaga; Keith Richards’ five-string guitar used during the Stones’ Some Girls tour; and a jumpsuit worn on stage by Michael Jackson during the Jacksons’ 1984 Victory Tour.

“As music is a universal language and Hard Rock celebrates music that spans all genres and eras, we wanted the new memorabilia collection to celebrate iconic names in music’s past and present,” says Jerry Fraize, Director of Memorabilia for Hard Rock International.

Hard Rock has more than 800,000 pieces of music memorabilia in its curated collection.
