Happy birthday to Shakira on her 44th! Your fashion sense has been captivating us for over two decades now, so let’s take a stroll down memory lane and explore your fashion journey. In 2000, you wowed everyone with a red wrap dress and long blonde curls after winning a Latin Grammy. You were already a big name in Latin America and set to conquer the US market. As the early 2000s came around, you experimented with different styles, from a short asymmetrical blonde bob to a chic fishnet and denim outfit during your appearance on VH1’s “Divas Las Vegas” in 2002. This was also around the time when you released your first English album, “Laundry Service,” and captured the hearts of Americans with your chart-topping hit “Whenever, Wherever.”

Back in 2003, fans were mesmerized by the sultry style of Colombian pop star Shakira during her “Mangosta” tour. She became known for her wavy locks and midriff-baring outfits, which were fully embraced in 2005 with her hit song “Hips Don’t Lie.” Her incredible hip-shaking skills were showcased in the music video wearing a tiered orange satin skirt and matching T-shirt tied around her waist. In addition to her flashy music videos, Shakira also proved to be a fashion icon on the red carpet. At the 2008 ALMA Awards, she looked stunning in a strapless black gown with an oversized statement belt. Shakira rocked her signature blonde curls for most events, but opted for long, soft waves when meeting future President Barack Obama in 2009 and attending the MTV Video Music Awards later that year. Her black and silver sleeveless mini dress paired with knee-high boots left everyone in attendance wowed.

Shakira, the renowned singer and dancer, made the halftime show of NFL Super Bowl LIV in February 2020 an unforgettable experience. She is currently in a long-term relationship with Gerard Pique, a Barcelona Football Club star, and they have two sons. Shakira is famous for her vibrant outfits that complement her stunning figure, which she often flaunts at various events. One of her notable appearances was at the 2014 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony in Rio de Janeiro. However, it was her performance with Jennifer Lopez during the Super Bowl that left over a hundred million viewers mesmerized. Her six-minute set of her greatest hits, beginning with a red belly-baring outfit with a fringe miniskirt, was truly captivating. Later, JLo joined her, and they concluded the show with sparkling metallic outfits. Shakira donned a sensational gold bodysuit with fringes on her hips and a keyhole opening revealing her abs. Her elaborate jacket accentuated her golden girl status. To catch a glimpse of Shakira’s most impressive looks over the past two decades, take a look at our gallery.
