Shakira, Shakira!” There’s few stars nowadays who can get by with only one name, but the Colombian singer is certainly one of them.
After receiving her first Grammy nomination in 1999, the star catapulted to international fame with hits like “Hips Don’t Lie,” “She Wolf,” and “Beautiful Liar,” the latter of which featured another famous one-name singer—Beyoncé. In 2023 she’s already set two Guinness World Records with “BZRP Music Sessions Vol. 53” and her collaboration with Karol G, “TQG.” Needless to say, Shakira has a staying power that is hard to come by in a modern star.
Along the way, the singer has adopted a red carpet style that balances sultry risk-taking with classic silhouettes. In the early stages of her career, she wore almost exclusively low-rise pants and ab-baring crop tops that she paired with some sort of blinged-out waist belt. She’s been a major proponent of mini dresses but also isn’t afraid to throw in a more formal gown, or even, a pair of shredded jeans on the red carpet. Shakira has cozied up to major brands like Burberry, Viktor & Rolf, Fendi, among others and has also championed independent labels like David Koma all the while keeping a style sense that’s uniquely her. Below, take a look back at Shakira’s best red carpet moments over the years.
