The black gown was asymmetrical with a single strap, an uneven cutout across her waist, and smaller slits down its skirt that extended the length of her leg.

There's also the corseted minidress she wore while performing at the 1998 Grammys.

Her black, long-sleeved dress was made from sheer mesh, but it was wrapped with opaque black fabric and matching straps. It also had a tulle piece attached to one side of its skirt that created a short train.

To complement the unique look, Twain also wore a crimped hairstyle and thigh-high lace-up boots.

She walked the People's Choice Awards red carpet in a custom Rodarte dress. It had a sheer, long-sleeved bodice, a leopard-print bralette, and a floor-length velvet skirt with a waistline that dipped below her belly button.

The outfit — which seemingly called back to her ensemble from the "That Don't Impress Me Much" music video — also included a leopard-print hood and shoulder piece.

Then at the 2023 Grammys, Twain arrived with hair as red as the carpet and a hat as big as the event.

She first walked the red carpet in a butterfly-print dress but later changed into a sparkling purple set from Chanel that included a crop top and matching shorts.

When some people on social media criticized the look, particularly the cut of her shorts and the plunging neckline of her top, Twain defended her daring outfit.

"For me fashion is a powerful tool that helps to convey my personality and express my creativity," she wrote in an Instagram post. "And other than getting to hang out with my friends for the night, it's one of my favourite things about attending award shows!"

During a recent concert in North Carolina, Twain hit the stage in a vibrant outfit and equally bold accessories.
