A Gown of Grace: Carrie Underwood’s ‘My Savior’ Dress Finds a Sacred Home
In a beautiful fusion of fashion, faith, and music history, a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown worn by eight-time GRAMMY® winner Carrie Underwood has taken its place as a radiant new centerpiece at the Museum of Christian & Gospel Music in Nashville. The floral, full-skirted dress was originally donned by Underwood for her poignant concert special, My Savior: LIVE From The Ryman, which debuted on Easter Sunday 2021. This elegant garment, now preserved under glass, represents more than a style moment; it is a tangible artifact from a performance that offered a balm of hope and familiar hymns to a world yearning for comfort during the global pandemic.
It is profoundly fitting that this gown, first seen just blocks away on the historic Ryman stage, has found its permanent home in a museum dedicated to the legacy of faith-based music. The My Savior album, for which the special was created, is deeply personal to Underwood, forming what she describes as “the foundation of my career as a recording artist.” Its subsequent win for Best Roots Gospel Album at the 2022 GRAMMY® Awards cemented its place in the canon, making this display not just a celebration of an artist, but of the enduring power of the gospel songs that have shaped countless lives.
The arrival of Underwood’s gown adds a new layer of star-studded significance to the Museum of Christian & Gospel Music, which officially opened its doors in October 2025 to great acclaim. As visitors from around the world now walk its halls, they can stand before this elegant symbol of a modern artist’s heartfelt tribute to her roots—a perfect embodiment of the museum’s mission to unite faith and music through powerful sound, spirit, and story.
