Following her separation from Gerard Piqué in 2022, Shakira has consistently showcased her commanding presence through her fashion choices, exuding confidence wherever she appears.
During fashion’s biggest night on Monday, May 6, she exhibited her flair for making a striking entrance as she joined other prominent figures, including Brie Larson, Kaia Gerber, Elle Fanning, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and more, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Making her debut appearance at the 2024 Met Gala, the 47-year-old Colombian singer radiated elegance as she ascended the iconic steps in a vibrant red ensemble, paying homage to the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
Sizzling in Dramatic Carolina Herrera Red Hot Gown
Shakira looked sizzling in a bright red custom Carolina Herrera gown for the big event. On the red carpet, she was accompanied by Wes Gordon, the creative mind behind Carolina Herrera, who has collaborated with the Venezuelan fashion icon since 2018.
Crimson dresses are always a hit on the red carpet for a reason—they’re impossible to miss. I like that the sexy global superstar opted for this shade, creating a striking contrast against the green carpet.
The bold color quickly grabs attention, making anyone wearing it an instant standout. This classic color choice radiates confidence, sophistication, and charm.
Stepping out with flair, Shakira’s attention-grabbing spicy ensemble deserved its spotlight. It featured a strapless design with a plunging sweetheart neckline and triangular cutouts at the waist to tease the right amount of skin.
I am drawn to the shimmering platinum and 18k white gold Cartier brooch at the center of her chest. It featured a dazzling diamond flower pendant with a matching ruby stone, adding a hint of shimmer to her attire.

Her outfit emitted a flamenco essence, especially with a sculptural cape adorning the wrists, comprised of voluminous ruffled sleeves reminiscent of the petals of a large scarlet rose.
The cape draped to the ground, forming a dramatic, lengthy train that trailed behind her as she ascended the Met stairs.

Towards the front, the gown boasted a seductive high slit, showcasing her well-toned leg, while the rear flaunted an open-back design.
