Shania Twain’s Signature Look And Most Iconic Outfits

Making headlines for more than just her music, Shania Twain recently worked with Netflix to release a documentary entitled Not Just a Girl about her childhood and rise to fame. Her small town beginnings combined with her ladylike confidence and stunning vocals make for a great story about one of the most impressive artists of all time. Twain is the best-selling female artist in country music history, gracing the top charts with hits like “Man, I Feel like a Woman!” and “You’re Still the One.” Her music is reminiscent of older pop with the addition of a strictly ‘90s country sound, and people worldwide fell in love with her catchy sounds and sweet love songs. 

While her music topped the charts, Shania also dazzled fans with her style statements. Her deep love for leopard print and smokey eyes shines through most of her album covers, music videos, and concert performances, and she proves that bold patterns can be favorites on and off the stage. From dancing in pink cowboy boots to styling a sleek black dress, Shania Twain’s fashion over the years has been anything but boring. 

A combination of both class and sass, we can learn a lot about style from this Canadian-born country-pop superstar!

Best Dressed

Shania Twain has a captivating presence and unforgettable outfits on stage. She’s full of glitz and glam, and her outfits reflect her rise to fame. While leopard print is her signature look, she also wore lots of glitter to various performances and award shows, with bold statements that turned heads. 

She has gravitated toward bright colors and bold patterns throughout her career, but also had moments of softer colors and fabrics. The Come On Over album cover features a young Shania with windblown hair and a silver crushed velvet gown, representative of the sweet and sultry song. 

As a female country singer, a cowboy hat is a natural accessory. But rather than jeans and belt, Shania wears hers with full length gowns and mesh dresses! Her country-pop transition can be seen in her ability to wear a cowboy hat with just about anything. 

Shania Twain’s eye looks are a masterpiece of their own. A dark smokey eye defined much of her makeup looks at the start of her career, bringing a seriously hot tone to many of her album covers and music videos, like her Man! I Feel like a Woman look. 

Rawr

Most noticeably, her love for leopard print made its way into a majority of her most iconic looks. Fun pieces became her signature style, and she struck a fine line between her supermodel good looks and city style within the country music scene. Her leopard print hood in the "That Don’t Impress Me Much" music video reminds us that there is always an occasion for prints! While prints like leopard print can be considered tacky when styled poorly, Shania Twain shows us how to wear the print and other bold patterns with sophisticated ease. Balance is an important rule of fashion, and Shania Twain applies this rule perfectly. 

Take this look, for example. Her adorable leopard print jacket is the focal point of her look, balanced out by the black crop underneath. The jacket also lines up with her high-waisted pants, creating this balanced look. Her hair is fun and flirty while keeping her makeup simple. 

Another way to incorporate a fun print is to show a little more skin. This flirty onstage look features a neutral satin tracksuit (very ‘90s) with lots of bling and a leopard print bra. Whether you wear your undergarments peeking out under a top or on full display, Shania Twain stuns in this look.   

Or wear the pattern as your whole look. Shania Twain has worn everything from trench coats to formal dresses adorned with leopard print, and she turned heads in different silhouettes. Side swept hair and a smokey eye adds glamor to a bold look!

Still an Icon

In the midst of a wild career making music, Shania Twain suffered from Lyme Disease, which caused significant damage to her vocal cords and vocal range. She left the industry for 15 years, but released the album Now in 2017, announcing her return to music. Full of energy and love of music, Shania Twain continues to produce music unique to her own sound and style. 

Performing songs from her old and new albums, Shania continues to be a style inspiration on stage. Full-length sparkly dresses and lots of jewels are just as representative of Shania now as they were when she started her career. 

Closing Thoughts

True to her lyrics, Shania Twain is both wild and in style. Whether you are inspired to add some leopard print to your wardrobe or just listen to a Shania Twain song, there's no doubt that we'll always have a place in our heart for the queen of country pop!
