Shania Twain walked onto the Wembley Stadium stage in front of 90,000 people wearing a see-through black lace dress with a white bra and matching shorts underneath, and the internet has been arguing about it ever since.
A TikTok video posted by user @simpllysara, capturing Twain performing “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” in the outfit, has racked up over 3 million views in just a few days. The caption read, “this was not on my bingo card for 2026.” Twain accented the look with gold jewelry, black stockings, and black heels, and when she squatted down during the performance, the crowd at Wembley almost saw a lot more than they bargained for.
The reactions split clean down the middle.
The Internet Can’t Agree, and Shania Doesn’t Seem to Care
On X, the criticism was loud. “Shania… why?” one user wrote. Another said, “She’s still smoking hot, but c’mon. Have some dignity.” Others added, “This wouldn’t look good on a 20-year-old. It’s trashy at any age,” and “Sometimes ya gotta realize we’re all getting old and some things just aren’t appropriate anymore.”
On Instagram, the reaction was the opposite. Fans flooded her comments with praise for the Dolce and Gabbana looks she’s been wearing throughout Harry Styles’ 12-night Together, Together residency at Wembley.
Shania responded on Instagram with a post highlighting her D&G wardrobe, writing, “Little Miss Twain didn’t have anything, and now Shania Twain is so very, very grateful for all she has.” She called the experience of being dressed by “one of the greatest designers in the world night after night” a childhood dream come true.
For You
No apology. No explanation. Just gratitude and confidence.
If you read our earlier coverage of Shania’s Sunday Times interview, none of this should be surprising. This is the same woman who said she stopped looking in the mirror during menopause because she “hated my body,” then fought her way back to a place where she could say, “Bring on the mirrors, I’m going to look at myself all day long.” She talked openly about doing “very unhealthy things” to keep up with the physical demands of performing and learning to accept that some things are beyond her control.
That context matters. This isn’t a 60-year-old woman trying to be 25. This is a woman who spent years not wanting to look at her own reflection and is now standing in front of 90,000 people in a lace dress from Dolce and Gabbana, feeling “gorgeous and confident” for the first time in years.
Whether you think the outfit was too much or exactly right probably depends on what you believe 60 is supposed to look like. Shania Twain has spent her entire career proving she doesn’t care what she’s supposed to look like. That hasn’t changed at Wembley, and based on how she responded, it’s not going to.
Her new album Little Miss Twain drops July 24. The title track, featuring Tanya Tucker, was released on June 26. And the Wembley residency with Styles runs through July 4. Whatever she wears next, people are going to have something to say about it. She already knows that. She wore the dress anyway.
