Don't call it a comeback: Although Shania Twain just released her first album in 15 years, the Canadian singer's beauty (and fashion) have always been just as iconic as her hit song "That Don't Impress Me Much," which was inspired by Twain's reaction to Brad Pitt's naked photo scandal.

On the red carpet Twain's hair and makeup moments have always been just as bold, but just like you and I she's gone through her own beauty transformation, too. The only difference? No one captured the frosty lipstick we used to wear in the '90s or our crimped hair during the early aughts. Throughout the years the singer has mostly stuck with voluminous curly hairstyles, but was always up for switching things up every once in a while.

Keep scrolling to see the country star's red carpet hair and makeup moments throughout the years.
