Shania Twain commanded attention when she took to the stage in Belfast, Ireland, in an all-black leather outfit on Thursday. The ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman’ hitmaker, 58, had a rock chick moment in fitted leather flares with a high-waisted silhouette that accentuated her figure, teamed with a black sheer bodysuit and a leather jacket with studs and embroidered flowers. A red neck scarf broke up her ebony ensemble, while she showed off her sparkly platform boots with an impressive high kick during her performance.
Shania’s long blonde hair had been styled straight, whipping around her face in the windy weather. Addressing the rain and wind, she wrote in her Instagram caption: “YOU WIN MY LOVE @belsonicbelfast!! I had the best night with you in all that crazy weather. You guys were phenomenal!!! Thank you for singing your hearts out with me, I didn’t want it to end. Dublin, I’ll see you tonight!”
Shania has become more experimental with her style in recent years, which has divided some of her fans. Defending her decision to wear micro shorts and sheer dresses at the CMT Awards in 2023, she said on Instagram: “For me, fashion is a powerful tool that helps to convey my personality and express my creativity and other than getting to hang out with my friends for the night, it’s one of my favourite things about attending award shows! Life is too short to wear boring clothes!!”
During an interview with In Style, she elaborated: “Style and fashion are part of the country music experience for both artists and fans. For me, the creativity doesn’t stop at the music. Fashion is an extension of the whole story.”
Shania Twain has also repurposed old clothes into new looks and embraced brighter colors for her Queen of Me tour. “Over the years, I have had many different styles. I’m playing more with color right now, and I’m enjoying that because I’m going gray,” she said. “As I go gray, I’m like, ‘I might as well toy around with different colors.'”
Shania Twain rose to the sartorial occasion on Saturday night as she dazzled crowds in Indiana as part of her Queen of Me Tour. The country music legend has been enchanting fans with her eclectic fashion and daring tour wardrobe since embarking on her seven-month tour – and her colorful combination of clothes donned in Indiana was no exception.
“A lovely night in Indiana #QueenOfMeTour,” Shania penned on Instagram, sharing a gallery of photographs from her night in the spotlight. Looking fabulous as ever, the Canadian star was a tangerine dream in a hot pink leotard adorned with a billowing orange sash that cascaded to the floor. The 57-year-old singer teamed her high-rise bodysuit with sky-high glittering heeled boots and sparkling fishnet stockings to complete her superstar aesthetic. Amping up the glamour, the Man! I Feel Like A Woman hitmaker donned a platinum blonde wig styled into poker straight tresses which she teamed with oversized sunglasses.
“Queen! This outfit!!” enthused a fan in the comments of her Instagram post, as another agreed: “We are twins I have those boots!! Rock this country woman!!!” “This look is EVERYTHING and those boots [flame emoji] I’m obsessed!!!” chimed in a third fan.
Shania is every inch a style muse as she is a music legend, and her experimental style teamed with shape-shifting wigs, daring dresses, and an enviable archive of bespoke on-stage outfits has dubbed the Canadian songstress as the “Queen” of the stage. In Ottawa earlier this month, Shania looked phenomenal as she hit the stage in a latex mini skirt and matching red crop top crafted from glittering vinyl fabric, slipping into high-rise nude fishnets.
Serving up a dreamy Western aesthetic in Mansfield, MA, the Any Man of Mine hitmaker looked unreal in a white satin mini skirt, rhinestone-studded stockings, and black leather cowboy boots.
Shania recently opened up to InStyle about her colorful approach to style. “For me fashion is a powerful tool that helps to convey my personality and express my creativity and other than getting to hang out with my friends for the night, it’s one of my favourite things about attending award shows! Life is too short to wear boring clothes!!” Shania said, adding: “Style and fashion are part of the country music experience for both artists and fans. For me, the creativity doesn’t stop at the music. Fashion is an extension of the whole story.”
Shania Twain is in the middle of her Come On Over tour, but the 58-year-old revealed on Monday that she is taking time off. Alongside a carousel of incredible photos taken on stage, Shania wrote: “What a way to end the first leg of my Come On Over residency! Thank you to everyone for coming out and partying with us… Roll on August when we’re back for round two!!”
Shania has certainly left fans wanting more, with the collection of photos giving an insight into her sensational onstage outfits, with thigh-high boots, tiny shorts, and cowboy hats a key component of her ensembles. Proving that she’s as limber as ever, the 58-year-old performed a gravity-defying high-kick in one photo, with her slender leg high in the air – despite the fact she was wearing towering thigh-high platform boots.
Another of her daring outfits saw Shania don a pink trench coat with matching silk lingerie underneath – perfect for her recently dyed rose-colored hair. A third outfit change saw the Man! I Feel Like A Woman singer head back to her country roots, wearing a cowboy hat and glittering boots as she sits atop a saloon bar, strumming an acoustic guitar.
In another outfit, Shania channels fellow country-turned-pop singer Taylor Swift in bejeweled boots that would look right at home on Taylor’s Era’s Tour. Taylor has spoken about how Shania inspired her move from country music to pop domination, so we bet she loves that her idol has taken inspiration from her in return.
While she’s performing, Shania makes sure to take good care of herself, sharing she follows a strict diet during her residency. “I only drink fluids all day until after the show. I drink my food, so I blend my food. Lots of blended Âspinach and blueberries,” she told The Sun.
It’s no surprise that Shania looks after herself given she had a run of ill health in the early noughties which left her fearing for her voice. In her documentary, Shania Twain: Not Just A Girl, she shared that in 2003 she was riding her horse when she was bitten by a tick. “The tick was infected with Lyme’s Disease, and I did get Lyme’s Disease and my symptoms were quite scary.”
The Come On Over singer explained she experienced millisecond blackouts every 30 seconds, and while she recovered from these issues, she worried that her voice was never the same again. Shania eventually got her voice to a place where she felt comfortable enough to sing again, and a decade on, she took to the stage once more, signing up to do a Las Vegas residency in 2012 – she must have loved it, given she’s in the midst of another one now!
Shania Twain has made a comeback in recent years, and her experimental style teamed with shape-shifting wigs, daring dresses, and an enviable archive of bespoke on-stage outfits has dubbed the Canadian songstress as the “Queen” of the stage.
