Shania Twain wowed fans as she slipped back into the iconic costume from the "Man I Feel Like A Woman" video as she kicked off the 2024 People's Choice Country Awards.
The 59-year-old made a speedy change from her custom Levi's gown on the red carpet to a white leather suit as she danced alongside male dancers to the instrumental version of her hit song. She then introduced Kane Brown, who performed for the audience, and Shaboozey was then awarded the first awkward of the night, New Artist of the Year.
But then it was back to Shania – and she walked out on stage in the black strapless mini dress, duster and top hat.

"It seemed a shame to leave her in a museum when she obviously wants to be at this party and who doesn't? And man, it really doesn make me feel like a woman!"
© Mickey Bernal/NBCThe live two-hour event will be hosted by five-time Grammy Award winner Shania, and is taking place in Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.
For her red carpet look, Shania worked with Levis to create a custom mermaid gown in denim with diamante embellishments on the train and bodice, and an oversized collar.
© Tibrina Hobson/NBC"Isn't it crazy? I love it," Shania told E! News on the carpet. "I was involved with the sketches and the design and the silhouette and everything. To me, that's the joy. It's not about putting on something that's amazing—it's about being part of it."
Beyonce was nominated for 19 People's Choice Country Awards, while Zach Bryan has 17 nods, followed by Kacey Musgraves (15), Shaboozey (12), Kane Brown and Morgan Wallen (11 each) and Luke Combs (10).
The show also added six new categories this year: female song, male song, group/duo song, cover song, new artist song and storyteller song
