The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards have officially kicked off, and it's clear that Shakira, the queen of Latin music, is already stealing the spotlight. Shakira, the Colombian singer and trailblazer, boasts an impressive career with 95 million records sold worldwide, three Grammy awards, and four Moon Person trophies. Unsurprisingly, she's taking home this year's Video Vanguard Award.
Seeing Shakira back in the limelight is a rare treat, but when she graces us with her presence, her fashion and glam never fail to impress. At the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, her iconic hips truly didn't lie. Stepping onto the pink carpet, the singer-songwriter donned an alluring Versace gown made of slinky chainmail. The dress featured a plunging cowl neckline and a daring thigh-high slit. However, when Shakira looked over her shoulder, she revealed delicate tie straps and sides that tastefully bared some skin. She completed her glamorous look with metallic gold platform Jimmy Choos, keeping her accessories minimal.
In terms of her makeup and hair, Shakira stuck to her signature style with glamorous soft curls parted down the middle and a subtle yet elegant combination of soft pink lips and rosy cheeks.
Shakira is a timeless presence at the VMAs, enchanting audiences with her voice and mesmerizing moves since the early 2000s. This multicultural artist and music legend claimed her first Moonman in 2000 (back when it was still called that) and secured her fourth in 2007 for her collaboration with Beyoncé on their hit song, “Beautiful Liar.” In 2009, Shakira made a memorable appearance at the VMAs when she and Pink both chose to wear the same sparkly Balmain LBD on the red carpet. Their lighthearted camaraderie was a sight to behold.
