The Colombian star of Lebanese origin, Shakira, attended the Met Gala for the first time in her life and shone among the flowers of the green carpet in a breathtaking red dress that was enough to make her the most prominent at the party and attract the cameras’ lenses to the brightest and most beautiful single woman.

Shakira shines at the Met Gala
Singer Shakira shined in a pink dress from Carolina Herrera that matched the theme of the party, which was inspired by the short story Garden of Time by J. J. Ballard in 1962, as she appeared like a red rose in the middle of a garden full of flowers.

Shakira’s appearance was coordinated by her creative director, Wes Gordon, who took care of her appearance and stayed with her until she arrived at the ceremony.

In this context, Carolina Herrera’s creative design director, Wes Gordon, said that by choosing this look, he wanted Shakira to appear in the best version of herself.

Met Gala 2024
The theme of this year’s Met Gala is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”; Celebrities were also asked to wear designs inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 short story Garden Of Time.

It is noteworthy that the Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Institute of Arts and Fashion, and each year celebrates the theme of the Costume Institute’s exhibition for that year, so the exhibition sets the official red carpet look and guests are expected to choose their outfits according to the exhibition’s theme.

Shakira revealed in her recent statements that her artistic works did not receive enough attention when she was in a relationship with the Spanish football star, Pique, so she wanted to focus on other forms of love that she had in her life since their separation.
