Shakira’s outfits don’t lie: she’s stepping up her fashion game. While the DNA of her sᴇxʏ personal style remains the same, the Colombian singer has been ramping up her off-duty looks, favouring lace, leather and lots of Mugler. Take, for example, the three looks she wore to the Latin Grammy Awards last night: among them a breast-plated Harris Reed gown and a Dolce & Gabbana dress which bore the face of the Virgin Mary.
This sartorial revamp also coincides with the dissolution of her 11-year relationship with former Manchester United footballer Gerard Piqué, so needless to say, it’s been a busy year, both in Shakira’s personal life and style.
On Valentine’s Day she posted a video lip-syncing to SZA’s breakup anthem “Kill Bill”, while (somewhat inexplicably) mopping her carpet wearing a low-cut jumpsuit, which revealed a bralette and 6-inch Amina Muaddi stiletto boots. She performed her diss track “Shakira: BZRP Music Session #53” in leather chaps and under-boob cut-outs, and she launched a thousand memes in her Viktor & Rolf “NO” trench, which she wore to the Dutch brand’s couture show earlier this year. Maybe it’s fair to say there’s a little bit of revenge dressing at play here?
With her recent looks, Shakira has embraced the little top/big pants trend, and has proven that she rocks cut-out bodysuits like no other. Check out some of our favourite of the singer’s recent looks.
