In a blaze of elegance and grace, Shakira made her first appearance at the Met Gala in a dress that captured attention with its simple yet stunning design. While many other A-listers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art embraced the theme of The Garden of Time with floral ensembles, Shakira made a striking statement in a vibrant red Carolina Herrera gown that beautifully contrasted with the green carpet.
Crafted from the finest crepe fabric, Shakira’s strapless gown features a plunging heart-shaped neckline, triangular cut-outs at the ribs, and a dazzling flower with a red gem at the centre of her chest. Adding to the allure was a sculptural rose-shaped cape made of 30 metres of silk gazar. With a high leg slit in the front and a flowing train at the back, Shakira exudes elegance with every step. Her accessories included a diamond necklace complementing the sparkling flower, along with diamond earrings and rings. She completed the ensemble with Carolina Herrera’s red silk satin draped clutch and sky-high platform heels by Stuart Weitzman, all matching in shade.

According to Carolina Herrera’s Instagram handle, the simplicity of Shakira’s structured silhouette combined with the grandeur of the cape showcased the skill and expertise of the decade-spanning atelier—referred to as their very own Garden of Time.
Fans and followers of the singer flooded the comments section with love and adoration for her look. A user commented, “Espectacular,” while another wrote, “The most beautiful rose, we love you, my queen!”
Shakira’s debut at the Met Gala came just three weeks after her world tour announcement. The first leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour will visit North American cities such as L.A., New York, Chicago, and more.
