She may be named Shakira, but this is one pop singer who rarely seems shaken by anything. With millions of records sold — and wheelbarrows full of awards — she always seems confident, whether it’s performing for an audience of thousands or passing judgment on “The Voice.”
The Colombian singer’s 10th album, “Shakira,” came out Tuesday. On its cover is the 37-year-old singer, with a provocatively placed guitar by her bare, chiseled midriff.
Let’s gaze at her 10 most sizzling looks.
‘Can’t Forget’ this
Bouncing back after the birth of her son, Milan, was a piece of cake, as we can see from her video, “Can’t Remember To Forget You.” Here she teams with Rihanna for the risqué visuals that border on the explicit. In one scene, Shakira slides down a light blue wall in a red fringe bodysuit, revealing her toned legs.
Dazzling Duet
In another scene, Rihanna proves the perfect match for Shakira’s sexiness. The two singers caress each other and snuggle closely — that’s Shakira in the stringy black bathing suit.
Chain-link chic
Even in a tank top and jeans, Shakira smolders. At her self-titled album’s release party Monday, she wore a silver chain-link top and black distressed denim.
Ripping good look
At a concert in Bryant Park in the fall, Shakira serenaded her fans with her powerful voice and kick-ass studded leather jacket and slashed denim.
‘Voice’ of approval
As the only female judge on NBC’s “The Voice,” Shakira is all about flaunting her feminine style. That’s why she chose to showcase her body in a slinky gray minidress with well-placed sheer panels for the show’s February debut.
Match game
Shakira played matchy-matchy with her Spanish football beau, Gerard Piqué, at her album release event in Barcelona. Her black net dress played well with his formal suit.
Title-winning look
This is the look that earned her the title for Best Hips in the music industry. Performing her hit “Whenever, Wherever” at the MTV Awards in 2001, Shakira shimmied the way she did in her video, in brown leather pants and a gold-feathered crop top.
Cat’s meow
At the AFI Fest in 2007, Shakira displayed her animal instincts in a figure-hugging leopard and gold cocktail dress.
Glam wham!
A grave departure from her subdued relaxed looks, Shakira wore a dramatic embroidered red gown with a huge fluffy train to the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala in Switzerland in 2012.
Little black dress, big impact
For the NRJ Awards in 2011, Shakira dazzled on the red carpet in a black sequined fringe cocktail dress by Azzedine Alaia.
