Carrie Underwood has surrendered the total look of platinum blonde and has taken on today’s look of multiple contrasts.  In the spectrum of wheat to antique gold, her undertones take on the darker hues while the top layers are distinguished with much lighter ones. 

Carrie Underwood plays it safe wearing her hair straight in this style she carried all evening even through the "pre" and the "post" events.  A wonderful characteristic of her look would have to be the parted off large section of side sweeping bangs that end in a slight twist and a predictable bend.
