It was this white J. Mendel Fall 2012 gown with metallic accents Taylor wore to the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas this April that really solidified her style evolution. Lorraine Schwartz gems and Christian Louboutin Summerissima crisscross platform sandals completed the look. Taylor also made an impression at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards last month. She was a standout in a red Elie Saab Pre-Fall 2012 chiffon gown with lace bodice. Elie Saab was also behind her shoes, while she relied on Neil Lane for her jewelry.
