Stage costumes worn by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood while serving as CMA Awards hosts last November will be displayed in a spotlight exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum starting Jan. 19. The exhibit will feature a black ensemble worn by Paisley, including a John Richmond jacket with gold-beaded lapels, as well as Underwood's pleated tulle ballerina dress, embellished with 15,000 rhinestones. 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 exhibit will be on display through June 30.
