Hi, I'm Shania Twain,
and these are the moments and the looks that
made me.
You know, at the beginning of my recording career,
I felt that it was really important to be my most authentic self
and introduce myself to the public
as the northern Canadian girl that I am.
So I wanted to do a photoshoot in the snow,
which is a lot of how I spent my youth. And I'm wearing my mukluks
that my grandmother made me, and a sort of matching winter coat.
And trust me, it was very cold, so I needed it.
And there's a real wolf, and that's a real fire, which,
trust me, a photo-shoots
you don't normally have a real fire,
so I wanted this to be very authentic and it really was.
“Any Man of Mine” video.
I love this video because I still had a 24 inch waist.
My waist is belted and it was the high waist at that time.
The wardrobe came right out of my own closet,
the denim vest and the denim jeans,
the little muscle shirt underneath, the ripped one.
And I just took the scissors
and cut it off because I figured I needed to enjoy my midriff in this video.
I love riding horses,
so in this video I wear chaps over these jeans,
which was really fun, especially because they were borrowed from Bo Derek.
They were her chaps.
This is a Grammy moment during my second album of “The Woman in Me.”
This was 1996, imagine.
And I'm a vegetarian at this point,
and so I'm wearing a pleather jacket.
Ah, “That Don't Impress Me Much.”
This video is probably one of the greatest learning
experiences I've ever had making a video and working
with the clothes designer on the fashion, how I was going to move in the clothes.
I needed it to be stretch.
I love leopard print.
So we agreed on stretch velvet leopard print fabric
and we bejeweled it with a lot of red, ruby red.
So I wanted the lips to be matching ruby red.
And this is the first video that I ever wore a wig.
So that was really fun.
That's a little, in case you thought it was my real hair, it's not.
Thankfully, that day in the desert, it wasn't overly hot
and I was able to enjoy the whole glamor of the look without melting.
My “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” video.
Marc Bouwer designed and stitched it himself,
I think, even the corset, the short skirt, the handmade boots, all of this
beautiful satin and the high collar. And what I wanted for this is
I wanted a very masculine presence to my femininity in the video,
and I wanted it to be more literal, like I wanted man shirt, short skirts.
It was a very exhausting video.
The clothing was so tight.
I learned another good lesson making this video
because there was no stretch in the satin in the corset.
I guess that's the idea.
It's meant to sintch you in and push you up.
But I was really, really struggling on that.
And I really especially love the the veil on the top hat like the mesh.
To me, that was a beautiful finishing touch.
This was a very comfortable gown to wear, and I wanted
an Audrey Hepburn influence to the look.
And that worked really well off the “Man!
I Feel Like A Woman” video because that was already in that vein
and I was enjoying a bang for a change.
So yeah, this dress is in the Grammys museum and it is also a Marc Bouwer.
I love Marc Bouwer and I think he loves me too.
This outfit is a faux doe skin.
One of my rules is to avoid any real animal skin.
It's just the cutest thing, it’s the first time I got into shorts.
Marc talked me into that.
I never really sported cowboy hats at all
until this point, I think this might be my debut live performance
cowboy hat.
Super Bowl. Very big moment for me,
and I was so busy at the time that I never really absorbed it in the moment.
So it's really fun to look back at the photographs and relive it.
It was more of a new direction for me and I don't remember whether I had already
done the cover of Rolling Stone or not, but I was having a little bit of fun
experimenting with the more, you know, rock and roll edge.
Caesar’s Palace, my first Las Vegas residency.
It's a big moment in my life,
getting back out on the live stage again with vocal problems.
The climb back up on that live stage was monumental.
It was a big, big, big time in my life.
They shut down Las Vegas Boulevard and I'm riding a horse
because there are horses in this show, in this production.
I am so genuinely happy in this moment.
2022.
Okay.
I mean, this is one of my greatest highlights ever
because I'm on stage with Harry Styles and we are singing “Man!
I Feel Like A Woman” and we look like we matched fashion beforehand, but we didn't.
I did ask him before, I said, “What are you wearing?”
You know, like anyone would.
“So, Harry, what are you going to wear?”
And he never got back to me with the final look.
And I picked this one out and it was perfect with Harry!
And I really just love this little throwback.
It's kind of Mick Jagger-ish.
So we were on the same page in every way.
