Shakira attended this week the most important fashion event worldwide, Fashion Week in Paris, where she was in the front row of the fashion show of the designer house ‘Viktor & Rolf’.
The Colombian woman caught the eye, not only for being her and presenting herself at a fashion event, unaccustomed to her habits, but also for the elegant and at the same time eccentric outfit that she wore for the occasion.
The interpreter of Acrostic appeared wearing a striking white outfit with the word ‘NO’ in giant, made with fabric and golden zippers, which at the same time combined perfectly with golden sneakers.
This appearance occurred during the presentation of the autumn-winter 2023 collection of the French haute couture house, in which tribute was paid to the brand’s 30 years of Haute Couture.

The truth is that the gabardine-type dress with the gigantic ‘NO’ in relief, drew a lot of attention for various reasons in addition to its own design.
To begin with, it is a piece that is not recent at all, and is a nod to the look with which Viktor & Rolf opened their show Ready to Wear of the autumn-winter 2008 season.
On the other hand, it is a set that the American singer Jennifer López had previously used, in the music video for Beauty IIin 2018.
Although this led several to speculate about whether it had been an accident or a competition, even linking the singers for having shared the stage at the Super Bowl, it could be a simple coincidence, and the thing is that the Barranquilla woman would have her own reasons for using it.

And it is that 15 years ago, during the presentation of the garment, the Parisian firm explained its meaning as something that made reference to how we can transform those bad memories into art, “it is a ‘NO’ to darkness”.
In this sense, Shakira would once again be playing with symbolism, appropriating the garment to show how she has taken care of her own bad times, to turn them into something much stronger and beneficial.
As she has done with her music after the infidelity of former Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué, the Colombian singer has turned pain into new opportunities, multiple records, millions of views, millions of dollars in earnings and, for this special occasion, a winning look. , elegant, fresh and symbolic.
