Shakira’s performance at the 2023 MTV VMA Awards was one for the books—but her Versace open-back gold gown with major cutouts stole the show. The 46-year-old showed off a toned back, arms, and abs while strutting the red carpet, with her long blonde waves cascading down her back. And fans couldn’t get enough of her look.

The star posted a snap of her look to Instagram, opting for a brief, to-the-point caption that perfectly juxtaposed her intricate dress: “Hi #VMAs 😘.”Fans and friends flocked to the comment section to fawn over her glittering look. Donatella Versace herself commented: “You should be soooooo proud of yourself for the most dazzling night, Shakira. So beautiful and SO talented. I love you xxx,” while fans called her “stunning” and “an icon.”

After hitting the red carpet, all eyes were on Shakira’s performance. The star took the main stage to sing an array of hits like “She Wolf,” “Whenever, Wherever,” and “Hips Don’t Lie.” She stuck with the golden theme for the performance, wearing a shimmery, bedazzled bodysuit with a fringe skirt and matching tights and boots.

But that wasn’t the final look for the star. To accept her award, Shakira changed into a stunning Versace safety pin dress in a baby blue hue, complete with a high-leg slit and cutouts.

If you’re anything like us, you’re probably wondering about her fitness routine. Luckily her personal trainer, Anna Kaiser, previously shared details on her diet and fitness routine.

“Shakira is really focused on consistency with her workouts—the strength, the cardio, the stamina, the power, the flexibility—everything,” Kaiser previously told Vogue. Kaiser explained that the singer usually works out six days a week, and does 90-minute dance interval workouts that combine cardio, strength, and vinyasa flows.

As for what she eats, Kaiser previously told Shape that the star prefers to eat small meals throughout the day to maintain energy. “It’s all about real food, she doesn’t like supplementing,” Kaiser added. “She wants it to be really good, fresh food and no shortcuts.”

Whether she’s glowing on the red carpet, blowing away fans with a stellar performance, or training hard, we are always so impressed by Shakira. Congrats to the star for her amazing achievement!
