Shakira Brings Glamour in Star-Studded Mini for Album Celebration
Shakira brought equal parts sultriness and sophistication to the release party for her highly-anticipated album “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” in Hollywood, Florida this week. The global superstar made a sartorial proclamation that women of any age can radiate confidence and allure in a showstopping little black dress.
For her grand arrival, the 46-year-old Colombian chanteuse turned heads in a dazzling velvet mini dress from the luxury French fashion house Balmain. The strapless number hugged every curve with its plush midnight black fabric, adorned with intricate embroidery of swirling silver sequins in an art deco-inspired harlequin pattern. Making a bold statement at the bust was an oversized gunmetal star accented by a dazzling circular crystal brooch.
While the dress certainly had a touch of vintage Hollywood glamour, Shakira gave the look a modern, edgy twist by styling it with a pair of Amina Muaddi’s cult-favorite Yigit zip platform stiletto booties. The sleek black leather booties featured soaring stiletto heels hitting right at the 6-inch sweet spot that Shakira has long favored for adding showstopping height.
The footwear choice was a perfect counterpoint to the dress, keeping the vibe youthful and adding some rock-star attitude. Shakira is known to be an avid fan of Muaddi’s dramatic yet wearable styles, having sported several of the Jordanian-Romanian designer’s wildly popular heels over the years.
For her glam beauty look, Shakira went with her signature voluminous waves, allowing her honey-blonde highlights to cascade effortlessly past her shoulders. Her radiant makeup featured a soft rose lip and smokey eye that accentuated her striking features.
The star’s jewelry provided the flawless finishing touches, from her dazzling diamond and gold chainlink earrings to an edgy gunmetal cuff bracelet and assortment of statement rings. Each element perfectly complemented the look’s mix of retro glamour and modern biker-chic.
While the album party provided the occasion for Shakira to stun, this latest fashion moment is just one in a long line of show-stopping looks from her recent promo tour. Fans were particularly captivated by the official music video for “PunterÃa,” which featured both Shakira and Cardi B decked out in opulent, goddess-inspired pink frocks.
No matter the look, one thing is certain – at 46 years old, Shakira continues to bring her signature fierce confidence and relentless passion to everything she does, making her an enduring style icon for women of all ages. With “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” already receiving rave reviews, this latest sartorial slam dunk will surely keep her loyal fans wanting more.
