Shakira has experienced a whirlwind of events this year. She made history as the first South American artist to receive the MTV Video Vanguard Award, sparked various rumors about her next romantic partner, all while diligently working on healing her heart following a devastating breakup. The singer has truly had an eventful year.
Despite all this, the mom of two keeps serving major looks that continue to stun us all. In her recent shoot for Billboard magazine, the ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ icon wore a breathtaking blue gown that featured intricate asymmetrical cutouts and patterns. See the look here!
Shakira Stuns In Blue For Billboard Magazine
The gown, in a striking shade of blue, made a fashionable impression at first sight. It featured a distinctive one-shoulder design and an ab-baring cutout that accentuated the artist’s hips. The sweeping tornado-style pattern at the hemline and train of the dress added a unique touch to the couture ensemble made by designer Guarav Gupta.
She opted for a minimal makeup look and left her blonde locks in her signature wave-like manner, letting the dress take all the spotlight.
Besides showing off her fit figure and sense of style, Shakira also sat down for an interview and shared vulnerable details on how she’s dealing with her separation from Spanish soccer sensation Gerard Pique, her ex partner of 11 years and father of her 2 sons.

Shakira Opens Up About Heartbreak And Happiness
When discussing her limited music releases during her time living in Barcelona within her marital life, Shakira responded, “My priority was my home, my family. I believed in ’till death do us part.’ I believed that dream, and I had that dream for myself, for my children. My parents have been together, I don’t know, 50 years, and they love each other like the first day, with a love that’s unique and unrepeatable. So I know it’s possible.”
“It’s what I wanted for myself and my children, but it didn’t happen. If life gives you lemons, you have to make lemonade. That’s what I’m doing: making lemonade,” the artist said.
When asked if she is happy, the 46-year-old responded, “It’s a very short question for a very long answer. I don’t think everyone has access to happiness. It’s reserved for a very select number of people, and I can’t say I’m part of the club at this moment. There are moments of happiness, distraction, moments of reflection. There are also still moments of nostalgia, and my music right now feeds off that cocktail.”
While Shakira is still on the journey to heal her heart, we have no doubt that she will continue to make history, release more chart-topping hits, and transform her pain into art!
