Shakira dazzled at her Met Gala debut in a simple yet stunning red column dress with a slit that turned heads. For the wow factor: An impressive long cape made with almost 100 meters of fabric.
The sleek, geometric-cut outfit was created by Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon, who spent the past few months working with the Colombian superstar on the look, according to Fashion.
“The goal is to make Shakira feel like the best version of Shakira.” the designer she told the fashion magazine. “She was incredibly focused on the tiny details of the cuts – where things hit, as well as the cleavage,” he added. “It's amazing to work and assemble with someone who is physical because their sensitivity to movement and awareness of the body is really amazing.”
Shakira's Monday (May 6) Met Gala debut comes less than three weeks after she announced the first leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour. Named after her latest album, the trek – her first since 2018's El Dorado – will kick off on November 2 in Palm Desert, California and include stops in Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Chicago , among other North American cities.
The theme of this year's gala exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, is to feature 250 items from the Costume Institute's permanent collection. Works will be exhibited at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in new ways, including elements such as video animation, CGI, AI and more.
The 2024 Met Gala was attended by Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth. Other Latin stars in attendance included Rosalía, Omar Apollo, Rauw Alejandro, Cardi B and Camila Cabello.
