From an old Calgary Herald article:
Shania gets a leg up
How the country superstar makes the most of her least favourite asset

But in 1996, only a year after breaking into mainstream music, Twain confessed her unlikely fault to Chatelaine magazine. The comment began as a deflector from the bigger story: her bare belly.
"This is the midriff year," she said. "Who knows what it will be next year? I hate my legs, so I'll never have a leg year."
Never say never, Shania.
Since that time, Twain has been seen in some outrageous outfits that do, in fact, involve short shorts and micro-minis. Her secret is that she wears them with long, body-hugging jackets, midriff-baring tops and thigh-high boots (no leather, however; she's an animal lover).
"She's got a brilliant stylist," says Heather Mitchell of Holt Renfrew.
Mitchell notes that Twain often wears high heels and long, flared pants that not only lengthen the leg, but also give it some shape.
