Colombian singer Shakira is often referred to as the “Queen of Latin Music.” She’s credited as the pioneer who extended the global reach of Latin music singers. Since her breakup with ex Gerald Piqué in June 2022, Shakira has become an even stronger artist, releasing back-to-back hits including “Monotonía” and her history-making diss track “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol.53.” Shakira has also received a number of accolades this year and is nominated for several Latin Grammy Awards this year.

There’s no denying that 2023 became the year of Shakira. Through this collection of stories, we are honoring Shakira’s current success, where she started, and the impact she continues to have on the Latine community.

Through the years, we’ve watched global superstar Shakira rock a series of noteworthy beauty looks. For someone with millions of eyes on her, the Colombian singer-songwriter has given the public everything from shiny, long, dark strands (hello, “Pies Descalzos” era!), to bold graphic eyeliner, to more natural-looking, barely-there makeup that flaunts her beautiful skin.

At 46, the mom of two is an inspiration for aging beautifully, and there’s no doubt that her down-to-earth charm, no-te-dejes-caer personality, and overall charisma all play a part in her gorgeous exterior.
