It’s not the most exciting awards night (think Oscars!), but the People’s Choice Awards offered plenty of enjoyment for fans and fashionistas last night. Colors ranged from golden metallics to sexy neutrals to brilliant pops of purple, tangerine and red. While the big accessory of the night was chandelier earrings  — almost every star from Queen Latifah to Lea Michele sported a big statement pair — the worst one was worn by Nicole Kidman (below), whose lacy motorcycle gloves made it look like she had dirty Band-Aids on her hands. Ew! But let’s not focus on the negative; last night there were lots of looks to be positively jealous of!

Carrie Underwood (above), in a Christian Cota dress, won the award for Favorite Country Artist, and joked that she was so excited about winning that she almost tripped on her way to the podium.

Private Practice’s Kate Walsh sparkled in a vintage gold beaded empire waist mini that she picked out that afternoon from LA retro clothing boutique Decades.

Taylor Swift’s year started off with a bang when she won for Favorite Female Artist, and she looked as adorable as she always does in her age-appropriate, white beaded tube dress and silver Christian Louboutin heels.
