Carrie Underwood at the 2009 American Music Awards

Carrie Underwood proves that when in doubt, all you have to do is stick a barrette in your locks for instant glamour. Do you like how the pinned-back look creates an asymmetric effect? Peaches-and-cream makeup, along with some smoky lilac shadow, complete her makeup palette. Will Carrie win Favorite Female Artist at the AMAs? We'll soon find out, but first, it's time for you to cast your vote. Is Carrie's look fresh, or does it lack oomph?
