Martina McBride Shows Her Stylish Side
Martina McBride still remembers the first outfit she ever wore on tour — even though she'd probably like to forget it.
"When I first started out, I opened for Garth (Brooks) back in 1992," Martina tells zaptoit.com. "I was in a short white skirt, a white jacket with white fringe and white cowboy boots."
Nowadays, you're more likely to see Martina, who performs on "Fashion Rocks" Friday night at 7pm (THAT'S CENTRAL FARGO TIME!!!)on CBS, in Alice & Olivia shirts, a well-worn pair of Dolce & Gabbana leather and suede pants and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti shoes.
"I really feel great in them, powerful," Martina says of her leather pants. "I always feel great in something that's strong. I gravitate toward darker colors onstage. When I do TV appearances I can wear a dress, but onstage it has to feel really strong — a lot of my songs are really big."
What Martina will be wearing during the Fashion Rocks concert is still up in the air, but you can bet it will be fashionable. The concert opens New York's famed Fashion Week and includes segments by the industry's leading designers and models. In addition to Martina, the concert features an array of music's top trendsetters including Maroon 5, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, Avril Lavigne, Fall Out Boy, Ludacris, Aerosmith, Santana, Carrie Underwood and Usher.
BOB: They wouldn't let us come to the show, because our BOB shirts are white (and it's after labor day... hahaha... nevermind).
