See Carrie Underwood's Vibrant, Tropical Looks On 'American Idol' In Hawaii

Carrie Underwood shared her latest “looks from Hawaii,” on American Idol on Monday evening (March 16).

Underwood, 43, posed in an asymmetrical dress with a split up the leg. The dark-colored dress turns heads with its bright floral pattern, and Underwood accessorized the look with a bold flower crown to match. In a second photo she shared on Instagram, the eight-time Grammy winner donned a stunning gown and flowers in her hair. Underwood returned for her second consecutive season as a judge, alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. The “Jesus, Take the Wheel” artist also reunites with longtime host Ryan Seacrest, who crowned her the winner of the show’s fourth season more than 20 years ago. Keke Palmer and Brad Paisley appear as guest mentors this season.

American Idol airs on ABC on Monday nights from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET/PT. It’s available to stream the next day on Hulu.

Bryan is part of the star-studded lineup of the 2026 iHeartCountry Festival.
