During the early 2000s, Shakira was known for her trendsetting style that included low-rise jeans, belly-baring crop tops, and a variety of accessories that were a true representation of her individuality. Following her Grammy Awards nomination in 1999, the spotlight was on the Lebanese-Colombian singer, amplifying the attention on her fashion choices. Shakira’s fashion sense was not about following designer labels but rather about showcasing her own personality. She even created her own feather crop top for the 2001 VMAs, and if it was distressed, embellished, and cropped, you could be sure she would be wearing it. Her iconic look featured belly-dancing scarves adorned with gold tassels and coins, along with hats, headbands, layered necklaces, and studded wristbands.
While her earlier stage attire balanced comfort and show-stopping glamour, her recent performances, like the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime show, have showcased more elaborate outfits such as metallic leotards, crop tops, and mini skirts with intricate embellishments matched with knee-high boots. Now, Shakira’s wardrobe includes pieces from top fashion houses like Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, and Balmain as well as her longtime favorite, Azzedine Alaïa. As her career has skyrocketed, Shakira’s style has grown to reflect her status as a global pop sensation.
Off-stage, she opts for a range of casual outfits from preppy to athletic, always staying true to her authentic self. Whether she’s on stage performing or simply going about her day with her family, Shakira’s style continues to be a vibrant reflection of her lively personality.
