Shania Twain’s latest magazine cover is positively hair-raising.
The 57-year-old country icon fronts InStyle wearing a towering jet-black mohawk, matching Agent Provocateur corset and avant-garde ONRUSHW23FH gown — a sharp departure from the leopard prints and velvets for which she’s known.
And Twain loved her edgy makeover so much, she joked about incorporating it into her upcoming tour during her interview.
“I love it. I’m so up for it. I’m so ready for it,” she said.
“I’m way more fearless than I would’ve been [before]. Years ago, I would’ve been more conscientious about, ‘Is this too over-the-top?’ I’m more adventurous now and I’m just excited about what is new and what I can experiment with. I just love fashion for that.”
The “Giddy Up” singer liked her new mohawk so much, she’s considering making it part of her show.Danielle Levitt @daniellelevittAdded Twain, “When you can transform a living person just by putting something on, it’s spectacular.”
Of course, many of the “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” hitmaker’s past looks have been equally memorable, even if they’re not quite as edgy — like the iconic white Marc Bouwer turtleneck gown Twain wore to the 1999 Grammys, which Kelsea Ballerini recently borrowed for the 2022 ACM Honors.

Twain is gearing up to release her new album, “Queen of Me,” on February 3, and will kick off her tour of the same name in April.
