Celebrities made waves with their impeccable style choices during Paris Fashion Week. Among them, the renowned singer Shakira stole the spotlight at the Viktor & Rolf Fall/Winter 2024 fashion show, using fashion as a powerful form of self-expression.
The 46-year-old Colombian’s outfit was nothing short of extraordinary, as she donned a bold and eye-catching trench coat that perfectly encapsulated the essence of Haute Couture Fashion Week.
Shakira’s stunning piece was a unique creation from Viktor & Rolf’s Fall/Winter 2008 collection, albeit with a twist that made it her own.

While the original trench coat boasted a grayscale color scheme, Shakira opted for an ivory-hued ensemble that exuded elegance and sophistication.
The coat sat just below her knees and featured exquisite details like gold metal and white crystal embellishments, elevating the ensemble to the pinnacle of style.
However, the most striking aspect of Shakira’s outfit was the white three-dimensional slogan “NO” emblazoned across the front, adorned with silver and gold embellishments along the seams, adding extra glamour.

Shakira’s white coat dress spoke volumes, unequivocally delivering the message that her answer was a resounding “No,” as she declared in an Instagram video that “Yes is overrated.”
Accompanying her trench coat, Shakira embraced the 70s glamour by pairing her “NO” ensemble with Aquazzura’s “All Dolled Up” platform sandals.
These four-inch heels with ankle wraps featured a high platform sole and a peep-toe detail, all in a dazzling golden metallic color that complemented her outfit perfectly.

To complete her look, the sexy celeb carried the pale gold mini twist clutch from Aquazzura, a choice that harmoniously blended with the silver and gold details adorning her attire.
Her oversized brown-tinted sunglasses added a touch of mystery, while her long, sleek, straight hair exuded timeless elegance.
The timing of Shakira’s appearance at Paris Fashion Week held great significance following her split from her ex-partner Gerard Piqué, with whom she shares two sons.
It led fans to speculate about the symbolism behind her outfit, with some interpreting it as a reference to her empowering song “No” and others considering it a cryptic message directed at Piqué.

In recent interviews, Shakira has openly discussed her feelings of betrayal and the challenges she faced amid her father’s hospitalization, William Mebarak Chadid.
The personal hardships she experienced, combined with the split from Piqué and rumors of his infidelity, motivated her to focus on shielding her children from the situation.
In a June 2023 cover story with People en Español, Shakira shared, “He went to Barcelona to console me after I was consumed with sadness because of my separation. While he was at Milan’s first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart. I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.”
She recalled thinking she “wasn’t going to survive” the difficulties, stating, “The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most. I couldn’t talk to him, or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much.”

In June 2022, rumors emerged regarding Shakira’s discovery of an affair involving her former partner. Although they chose not to address the allegations publicly, they officially announced their separation during the same month.
The former couple said, “We regret to confirm that we are parting ways. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we request respect for their privacy. Thank you for your understanding.”
Following the separation, Shakira relocated to Miami after being granted full custody of their two children, Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7. Since then, reports have romantically linked her to Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton. Meanwhile, Gerard Piqué has also been linked with Clara Chia Marti.
