Shania Twain Proves She’s Still the One in Denim and Diamonds at 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards

As for Twain’s beauty moment she also looked to the past. The icon did not hold back on the glam giving retro vibes with her flippy blonde bob teamed with a smoky makeup look.

Twain is pulling double-duty as both the show’s host and a nominee in the concert tour of 2024 category where her Shania Twain: Come On Over – The Las Vegas Residency – All The Hits! is nominated alongside headlining tours from Luke Combs, Jason Aldean, Morgan Wallen, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and the night’s most-nominated artist, Zach Bryan. But for the “Giddy Up!” singer, being asked to host the show may be the biggest honor of all.

“I’m out to feel my best and to feel great in what I’m wearing, so I plan on being glamorous,” she told PEOPLE ahead of the event. “I love bringing glamour to country. It’s great to refresh it because it was way more glamorous when I was a kid. It was very common for the men in my grandparents country music to wear crystal and bejeweled pants, for example. That’s gone away for a long time. I think it’s time for country to get a little more glamorous again, so that’s my plan.” (And she definitely delivered!)

In an interview shared by Billboard on Monday, Sept. 23, the country star revealed she’s looking to veteran awards show host Reba McEntire — who previously hosted the Country Music Association Awards and the Academy of Country Music Awards — as inspiration as she leads the evening’s show.

“Any of those big shows rely a lot on the spirit and the mood of the host, because the hosts are chosen, I think quite carefully, making sure people are relating and the host has experience,” she told the outlet.

Twain continued, “Reba is one of my favorite hosts. She’s speaking from experience and I think that commands respect and attention. She’s funny and smart, and is loved by all, and it’s a compliment to be asked to do something like [hosting an awards show].”

In addition to keeping the show moving along, Twain is also bringing her risk-taking fashion sense to the stage. Over the last few months, the “Still the One I Want” singer has been experimenting with different hairstyles — including a pink wig that made her feel more confident about going all-gray one day.

“The pink surprisingly made me look and feel younger somehow and it’s so light, it’s practically gray. So that was a really good surprise,” she told Extra in May.

She added, “Of course I can color my hair, but what I wanted to get used to was ‘what do I look like with my hair going lighter and lighter and lighter?’ ”

Twain has also been trying out new looks in recent months. In July, she attended Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration at Teatro Del Silenzio in Lajatico, Italy, where she wore a flowing dress featuring a colors ranging from soft pastels to neutrals. Meanwhile, during her residency, the Grammy winner has been rocking a cascading black gown when she performs “From This Moment” that’s so impressive Twain refers to it as “she” and gave the dress a name.

“She’s called Fiona and she probably weighs, I am guessing, around 20 lbs., maybe more, maybe even 20 to 30 lbs. She is a structure. I designed her,” Twain told PEOPLE.

“I already knew what it was meant to be and then it was just about adding the right amount,” she continued. “It was kind of like putting a puzzle together. But I already knew what puzzle was going to look like, what it wanted it to look like. It’s a production to get her in place, to get her on, to get her off.”

The 2024 PCCAs will air live on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
