Shakira’s Style Stir
Shakira turned heads at the 2025 Met Gala — but not necessarily for the right reasons. The Colombian superstar arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a vibrant pink gown by Nepalese American designer Prabal Gurung, drawing mixed reactions from fans and fashion observers alike.
The annual fundraising gala marked the opening of the museum’s new fashion exhibit, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which explores the art of Black dandyism and celebrates menswear through a historical and cultural lens. With a dress code titled “Tailored For You,” guests were encouraged to interpret classic tailoring in a way that felt personal and expressive.
Many attendees — including Rihanna, Nicole Kidman, and a returning Diana Ross — chose ensembles that nodded to traditional menswear, often in neutral tones and structured silhouettes. Shakira, however, went in a dramatically different direction. Her gown, with its sweeping train cascading down the museum steps, was paired with sheer polka dot gloves and a glittering diamond heart necklace—an ensemble some said belonged on a different red carpet entirely.
Reactions online were swift and divided. While some praised her fearless approach, others felt it clashed with the spirit of the event. “Beautiful…but not on theme whatsoever,” one Instagram user wrote, summing up the general sentiment among critics who felt the singer had missed the mark.
The pop icon is no stranger to theatrical fashion — she wore a bold red Carolina Herrera gown at last year’s gala—but this year’s choice reignited the ongoing Met Gala debate: should guests follow the theme literally, or make it their own?
Elsewhere at the event, Rihanna revealed her third pregnancy, and her partner and Met Gala co-chair A$AP Rocky confirmed the news with excitement: “It’s time that we show the people what we was cooking up.”
As always, the Met Gala delivered fashion, spectacle, and a fair amount of controversy—just the way the world likes it.
