Did you know that most artists don’t own the outfits they wear on the red carpet? Typically, these glamorous looks are on loan from designers. However, at the 2016 Grammy Awards, Carrie Underwood was an exception.
The country star arrived at the 2016 Grammy Awards showcasing a stunning necklace, a Valentine’s Day gift from her husband. As of 2024, she has earned 8 Grammy Awards and received 17 nominations, solidifying her place in music history.

Carrie, often compared to actress Emily Osment, paired her husband’s Valentine’s Day gift from jewelry designer Johnathan Arndt with a sleek black satin Nicolas Jebran gown.
