Carrie Underwood stuns in vibrant dress as American Idol judge

Carrie Underwood was seen filming  for the 25th season of American Idol on Wednesday at Disney’s Aulani Resort and Spa, months after fans first saw her as a judge.

Dressed in a stunning green gown, accentuated by a flowing cape over her shoulders, the 41-year-old singer and songwriter glowed and looked elegant, completing her look with a traditional lei around her neck.

She greeted fans and locals watching with a cheeky smile and a wave, with a pretty flower tucked behind one ear.

Her makeup artist effortlessly gave her a quick touch-up while also seemingly helping her create social media content.

She’s joined by Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and the show's longtime host Ryan Seacrest in Oahu, Hawaii.

Two decades after her debut on the singing competition show, Carrie seems excited to return to it.

The Cry Pretty hitmaker stepped in for pop star Katy Perry on the American Idol judges’ panel after the Teenage Dream singer stepped down to focus on her music career.

Ryan, 50, was also spotted on location wearing Hawaii-themed Mickey ears and a traditional Ti Leaf Lei Twist around his neck, embracing the tropical setting.
