Adding a touch of red carpet glamour, the songstress rocked a plunging black jumpsuit which made the most of her toned cuʀvᴇs.

The corset-style top showcased her slender midriff and cleavage, and featured quirky straps.

Wearing her trademark golden locks in loose tousled waves, she showed off her natural beauty with just a hint of blusher and lipgloss.

Beaming as she accepted the award, Shakira- who is also also a UNICEF Goodwill Ambᴀssador devoted to early childhood development, said: ‘Today’s babies will drive tomorrow’s business. Their capacity to contribute will shape tomorrow’s societies, will solve tomorrow’s problems.

‘In this room there are some of the most powerful people in the world, and definitely I’m convinced you know what it means to be ahead of the curve.

‘We need to apply the brains and strategies of business and the ᴀssets and human resources and talents of your companies to do social good and to solve social problems.’
