Shakira made his second appearance at MET Gala 2025 with a dress that generated conversation on all fronts.
The Colombian singer wore a pink sirena silhouette design signed by Prabal Gurung, with lateral transparencies, large voluminous tail and matching accessories, including short gloves and a striking necklace with pink diamond. At 48, the artist reaffirmed her presence in fashion with a visually shocking bet.
This year’s gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Stylepaid tribute to black inheritance in fashion, its symbolism, and its global influence. However, Shakira’s look did not align with this narrative.
Although this is not unusual in the Met Gala, where the interpretation of the subject is often flexible, his choice felt more aesthetic than conceptual. While some figures used fashion as a tribute and reflection tool, Shakira preferred a more glamorous and personal approach.
The met gala has evolved beyond the show: it is a space where style can also be a statement. While Shakira’s dress was applauded for his execution and elegance, some critics pointed out that he lost the opportunity to join the collective speech proposed by the event. Even so, you cannot deny your power to generate attention and set trend.
True to her style and personality, the interpreter of “Women no longer cry” was safe, charismatic and delighted to meet one of the most photographed carpets in the world.
His choice, although far from the official Dress Code, reinforced his role as an artist who walks his own path, even in the most normative scenarios.
Shakira opted for spectacularity and won the reflectors. Was it the right look for the narrative of the night? Perhaps not quite, but it was a powerful style statement that confirmed its international presence in the fashion world.
