One of the most eye-catching pieces? A red-hot, fringed set that moved with her every hip shake, making it impossible to look away. And let’s not forget the statement accessories, Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Bone cuffs engraved with the tour’s name, adding just the right amount of edge.
Of course, Shakira didn’t stop there. A golden, form-fitting dress made its way into the mix, catching the light with every move. And let’s not forget the white outfit with a guitar in hand—a nod to her rock-inspired roots. She also rocked an edgy number that looked straight out of a fantasy warrior movie, complete with dramatic flames in the background.
Here’s a breakdown of her best outfits from the night:
Shakira opened the show in a dramatic outfit with flowing fringe and cutouts that highlighted her signature hip movements. The look had a fierce, almost battle-ready vibe—perfect for kicking off a night of empowerment and energy.
At one point, she shimmered in a short, gold dress with subtle fringe details paired with ankle boots. This was a full Hips Don’t Lie moment, made even better by her wild hair flying everywhere as she danced.
Another standout was the deep red belly-dancing ensemble, a nod to her Lebanese roots. With a beaded top and a layered, flowing skirt, she looked like a queen commanding her kingdom (which, let’s be honest, she totally is).
You know it’s a Shakira show when she brings out the guitar. She swapped into a white outfit, complete with a fringe skirt , while shredding her way through Inevitable and other fan favorites. Classic rockstar energy.
One of the most striking looks was a long, shimmering blue gown that made her look straight out of a dream. She wore this while delivering an emotional ballad, proving she can captivate even when standing still.
In one of the most stunning looks of the night, she wore a deep red two-piece ensemble featuring a beaded, shimmering crop top and layered pants with a dramatic slit. The look paired perfectly with her signature hair flips and intricate footwork.
Shakira and her backup dancers turned the stage into a pink fantasy for a fun and unexpected twist. She wore a sparkly, hot pink bodysuit with matching boots, giving total pop diva energy. It was playful, vibrant, and a fresh contrast to some of her more dramatic looks.
One of the night’s most vibrant and playful outfits was Shakira’s colorful fringe ensemble, which brought an explosion of energy to the stage. The look featured a multicolored top paired with a matching fringe skirt in shades of red, orange, blue, and yellow.
The moment she stepped out in this look, it was clear that it was all about freedom, rhythm, and celebration. The fringe swayed with every beat, amplifying her movements and making each spin, hip roll, and jump even more mesmerizing. The outfit had a tropical, festival-like feel, almost reminiscent of Carnaval celebrations, perfectly aligning with her high-energy performance style.
A Nod to ‘El Dorado’—Shakira’s Last Tour Before ‘Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran’
Shakira’s rust-gold ensemble was a clear homage to her 2018 “El Dorado” World Tour, the last time she toured before “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.” Back then, “El Dorado” was all about rust and shimmering gold tones, symbolizing her Colombian roots and the mythical lost city of gold. This time, she revived that theme with a dazzling mini dress covered in lace.
The outfit featured an asymmetrical hemline and cutouts, allowing for fluid movement as she danced. Paired with her lioness-like curls, this look was pure Shakira magic—bold, radiant, and effortlessly fierce.
One of the most jaw-dropping looks of the night was the deep purple, skintight jumpsuit, an electrifying nod to her She Wolf era. The outfit, covered in shimmering lace details, hugged her curves perfectly, allowing her to move effortlessly while performing some of her most dance-heavy tracks.
Shakira slipped into a light pink, shimmery mini dress paired with matching heeled booties for a softer yet equally dazzling moment.This look was all about fun, femininity, and glam, proving that she could instantly switch from fierce to flirty.
The dress, covered in iridescent sequins, reflected shades of pink and silver under the lights, giving her a dreamy, almost ethereal glow. And let’s talk about those matching booties, a stylish but practical choice that kept her light on her feet while delivering high-energy performances.
This look had serious pop star nostalgia while still feeling fresh and modern.
The Ultimate Stage Production
But it wasn’t just about the fashion. The setlist was a masterclass in nostalgia and evolution. She blended her early classics with her newest hits, giving the audience a full-circle experience. “Session 53,” “TQG,” “Monotonía,” and “Te Felicito” had the crowd screaming, while older anthems reminded everyone why she remains an unstoppable force in music. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any bigger, massive 160-foot screens and mind-blowing CGI effects brought an animated Shakira to life during the interludes.
What’s Next?
Shakira’s next stop is São Paulo on February 13, where she’ll continue bringing the heat before heading to Peru. If the first night is any indication, this tour is shaping up to be one for the history books.
