Shania Twain is the hostess with the most show-stopping style.
On Sunday, May 17, the country singer, 60, turned heads in an dazzling look at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards, where she'll serve as host for the evening.
The "You're Still the One" artist wore a floor-length silver strapless sequin gown, to kick off festivities on the red carpet. The metallic ensemble was not only designed with a glittery print of an animal silhouette, it also featured gray sashes that gave the piece movement. Accessorizing the look were a pair of studded leather gloves and pendant earrings with a coordinating necklace.
Equally head-turning was her glam. Twain, known for her evolving hairstyles, rocked new bangs teamed with long auburn locks.
