The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards have started and Shakira, the queen of Latin music, seems to be stealing the show. With a remarkable career that includes selling 95 million records worldwide, winning three Grammy awards, and obtaining four Moon Person trophies, it’s no wonder she’s receiving this year’s Video Vanguard Award.
Shakira’s appearances in the spotlight are always a treat, and her recent appearance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards was no exception. The singer-songwriter stunned in a gorgeous chainmail Versace gown that featured a daring plunging cowl neckline and a thigh-high slit. Turning around, Shakira revealed the dress’s thin tie straps and side-baring sides, adding a touch of sexy glamour to her look. To complete the ensemble, she paired the sparkling backless gown with metallic gold platform Jimmy Choos and kept her accessories simple and understated.
Shakira is a regular at the VMAs, gracing the stage with her captivating voice and mesmerizing dance moves since the early 2000s. She’s a multicultural icon in the music industry and has won several Moonman awards, starting with her first win in 2000 and her fourth in 2007 for the chart-topping song “Beautiful Liar,” which she collaborated on with Beyoncé. Shakira also made a playful appearance in 2009, wearing the same sparkly Balmain LBD as Pink, creating a “Who Wore It Best” moment that had them both laughing on the red carpet.
