Carrie Underwood Fashion Follies: 'I Dress Like a Dude!'

There's no doubt that Carrie Underwood is always one of the best-dressed and most beautiful celebrities on any red carpet, but even the usually confident fashionista admits there are times when she finds getting dressed a bit challenging.

"I can do this," Carrie tells The Boot, gesturing to her casual outfit of sweatpants and a Nashville Predators sweatshirt, "or I can do red carpet. I'm bad with all the in-between stuff. I don't really know what I'm doing, and for some reason it always seems I dress inappropriate. I don't know what the deal is."

It's hard to imagine one of the best-dressed celebrities in the world worrying about her everyday apparel, but Carrie admits she has her moments. "I'll wear a short dress to church on Sunday, not too short," she clarifies with a smile, "and people will be like, 'Aren't you cold? and I'll be like, 'Yes I am.' I don't know how this always happens. Or vice versa; I'll be wearing a sweater. I don't know how to dress myself for every day. I just feel uncomfortable in pants all day. It seems like even if I dress nice, as soon as I get home, the first thing that I do is let my dogs out and I change my clothes."

When she's not working, Carrie prefers comfortable attire. "I love getting dressed up, but I do it so often, when I don't have to I don't," she explains.

The glamorous superstar confesses she also has a penchant for men's clothes. "This is a man's sweatshirt," she says, pointing to the shirt she's wearing. "I don't even like the women's sweatshirts. I dress like a dude. Sometimes I spray my husband's cologne on myself because it smells so good. I don't like the women's stuff, so I buy a small [size] in guy's sweatshirts."

When it comes time to get girly, Carrie is a champ as evidenced by the gorgeous cover shot on her new album Blown Away, which has spent five weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.

"Ever since I heard 'Blown Away,' I wanted that to be the album title," Carrie says. "The first time I heard it I was like, 'Yeah that feels right' so I can't have a title like 'Blown Away' and have some ho-hum picture of me on the front. It's got an intentionally, but not overtly 'Wizard of Oz' kind of feel to it. It's tumultuous. There's yellow bricks under me and more things that people would notice if they were really looking. I wanted to step it up a little bit and go for it. There were some really great photos from that shoot and they are all kind of a little more fierce."

I can see that expression 'Dixie Chicked' catching on!
I respect Carrie so much, and the Dixie Chicks for having the courage of their convictions and standing up to the status quo at their own personal cost. People with courage like that are the ones who implement change.
Blessings and prayers of support to you

Someone asked how long before she is "Dixie-Chicked" after she made her statement about gay marriage......I guess I see from the comments, it wasn't long at all-no big surprise there. Stay strong Carrie, you'll be ok, I hope.

She is not country at all. She is a roaring lib and I will not be shocked if she comes out of the closet as a gay.

She always looks manly to me! She has the face of a man. She tries to cover up her manliness with the horribly tacky, fake hair extensions.

Carrie I respect you and always believed you could gargle peanut butter and sound great. I must admit though this new song and or alblum does not stay true to country.

I really love Carrie, but stop with the constant promotion, its almost as bad as swift. Every little thing she says its big news! Enough already. There are so many great other musicians to write about.

Who yells and screams, I thought this was about Carrie, I have been to FIVE Carrie concerts in my life and she has a set of pipes that parallels in comparison to Martina McBride. The music even stopped early at one of her concerts, so only Carrie's voice was heard and Carrie blew me away. Go see Carrie in concert than we'll see you retract your statement.
