Shania Twain has evolved into a red carpet goddess

Leopard and denim and fedoras, oh my! 

With three diamond albums, five Grammy Awards and 27 BMI Awards, Shania Twain is widely considered one of the best country music stars of all time. Of course, she had to have a style to match that powerful voice.

Since coming on to the music scene in the 1990s, Twain has regularly taken fashion risks, unafraid to test out a new style, show off in a belly-baring outfit or embrace her country with some cowboy boots and fringe. Her outfit to the 2003 American Music Awards combined almost all of that in a Jennifer Lopez-like fashion.

Over the past decade, we’ve seen her red carpet choosings evolve from goth country girl to red-carpet glam. One of our favorite looks on the Canadian icon? A pearl-colored strapless gown she donned  at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. The Mikael D. draped gown landed her an almost every best-dressed list that year.

Though Twain took a 10-year hiatus from music for health reasons, she recently announced her first tour since 2015. We can expect to see much more of the country queen on this summer’s red carpet.
