1996

Fresh-faced! The Canada native burst onto the music scene in the early 1990s after signing with Mercury Nashville Records. Here, the “Queen of Country Pop” attended the Blockbuster Awards in March 1996 wearing head-to-toe leather.

Oh, the ’90s. Somehow, Shania made this green and pink suit with a sequined top look gorgeous at the Canadian Country Music Awards.

1998

Me-ow! Less than one year after she released her hit album Come On Over, Shania stunned in a black crop top and leopard jacket during a performance at the Meadows Theatre in Connecticut. To this day, it’s still the best-selling album ever released by a female artist in any genre. *Insert clapping hands emoji.*

1999

Lookin’ hot in hot pink. Once again, the “You’re Still the One” songstress put her abs on display during the CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. The cowboy hat and boots added a country flair. Unfortunately, not everyone was a fan of her revealing clothing at the time. She once said, “So many people bare their midriffs, I don’t know why mine is such an issue.” PREACH.

I-C-O-N-I-C. Arguably the sexiest of all her ‘fits, Shania not only donned this lil number in her music video for “Man, I Feel Like a Woman,” but she also wore it to the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, pictured here.

Not many people can pull off a skintight jumpsuit. *Correction: No one can pull off a skintight jumpsuit. Except for Shania, of course. The “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” crooner accessorized the lace look with a studded belt and loose curls. Ob-sessed.

A far cry from a LBD, Shania wore this shredded tulle number to the American Music Awards back in January 2003. At the time, she was nominated for three awards — Female Artist – Country, Album Country and International Artist. Unfortunately, she didn’t take home any.

2010

Did someone say … sequins? Shania paired this gray blazer with a sparkly top and wide-leg pants. Unsurprisingly, she’s made quite an impact on the style world. So much so, that Harry Styles considers her his inspiration. “I think both music and fashion, [my] main influence was probably Shania Twain. I think she’s amazing,” the former One Directioner told Entertainment Tonight in 2017.

That newlywed glow! Shania divorced Robert “Mutt” Lange in 2010 and married Frederic Thiebaud on January 1, 2011. In June 2011, she was all smiles while she attended the CMT Music Awards.

Vegas, baby! It takes some serious confidence to slip into a look like this. The singer paired the look with over-the-knee boots during her residency at Caesars Palace.

Quit horsing around! Shania said, “Horses calm me. I love being around them. They smell great, they are beautiful to look at, they are loving, demanding, temperamental and they settle you.”

Choo-choo! The long ~train~ on this gown was a show stopper. Not to mention, her mile-long locks.

Hubba, hubba! We’re sure her husband did a double-take after seeing her in this minidress, leather and fringe look. Her blonde locks and sky-high heels completed the look during her concert at Madison Square Garden.

Pants … or a dress? TBH, it’s hard to tell what she’s wearing, but she could wear a garbage bag and look stunning.

Back before people were taking ~candids~ on Instagram, Shania took *actual* candids.

In 2018, the country music star sparked plastic surgery rumors after she made an appearance as a guest mentor on The Voice. “Holy Botox, what happened to Shania Twain?” one fan tweeted at the time, while other fans, however, gushed over how great the “That Don’t Impress Me Much” singer looks at her age.

So, did she go under the knife? NYC dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Mark told Life & Style, “Shania’s eyebrows have maintained their nice elevated arch, and her forehead looks smooth and natural,” he said, crediting Botox for her look. He added, “Injections of Voluma have seemingly lifted her cheeks. The excellent placement was subtle — avoiding an overly plumped look. Such a youthful angular jawline points to Ultherapy.”

Meanwhile, NYC-based plastic surgeon Dr. Yoel Shahar observed (based on his expert opinion), “She appears to have filler under her lower eyelids to maintain her youthful look. She’s also likely had Botox to her crow’s feet.”
