In a breathtaking display of elegance and glamour, Shakira effortlessly stole the spotlight at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards hosted at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

As she graced the illustrious pink carpet, Shakira wowed onlookers with her choice of attire – a form-fitting Versace masterpiece that sparkled with metallic allure.
The sexy musician’s floor-length gold gown, crafted from a shiny reflective fabric reminiscent of chainmail, served as a testament to her eternal beauty and undeniable style.
This extraordinary dress was an artful fusion of sophistication and allure, featuring a slouchy strappy neckline and a daring low back that cascaded gracefully into a sweeping skirt.
Strategically placed cut-outs along the waist and a subtle thigh-high side slit accentuated her curves, infusing a dash of sensuality into her overall look.

To elevate her already stunning appearance, Shakira adorned herself with an array of exquisite rings. Her chestnut locks, styled in loose, enchanting ringlets, framed her radiant face, which boasted dramatic mascara, a delicate pink blush, and rosy lip tint.
While concealed beneath her gown, she accentuated her petite frame with Piferi sky-high platform sandals adorned with golden heels that bestowed an air of regal stature upon her.
The glossy metallic uppers and secure toe straps exuded luxury, while the thick platform soles and airy peep-toes ensured utmost comfort.
