    Renowned Colombian songstress Shakira made an appearance at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday, May 6. Clad in a striking red outfit by Carolina Herrera, she captivated onlookers as she stepped out from her accommodations.

    Following that, she showcased her attire on the dazzling Met Gala carpet.

    The theme for this year’s Met Gala, unveiling the Costume Institute’s latest exhibit entitled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” was centered around “The Garden of Time.” Noteworthy personalities such as Bad Bunny and JLo assumed Co-Chair roles alongside Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth, with Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok’s CEO Shou Zi Chew as Honorary Chairs.

    Shakira had previously paid tribute to fashion icon Donatella Versace on Instagram, sparking speculation that she might appear at the gala in Versace attire. To everyone’s surprise, Shakira opted for Carolina Herrera.

    Building up to her debut at the Met Gala on the 6th, Shakira tantalized her fans with a post on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: “Hello New York,” featuring candles and dress cutouts, hinting at The Met Gala.

    The fan reaction to her inaugural Met Gala appearance was overwhelmingly positive, with supporters applauding her elegance and asserting that “she always leaves a lasting impression,” while others hailed her as “absolutely stunning.”

    In particular, fans admired her gown with sleeves resembling petals, subtly capturing the essence of a flower while gracefully enhancing her features.

    However, some fans were anticipating a more “remarkable” appearance from her.

    A few criticisms emerged, with some noting that she “could have opted for an outfit inspired by an entire album cover, yet she chose this?”

    There were fans recalling the ongoing meme of digitally inserting Shakira into past Met Gala red carpet photos due to her absence at the event. Fortunately, that meme can now be put to rest.

    Some fans had expressed worries that Shakira might skip the Met Gala carpet, thereby perpetuating the recurring joke.

    But fret not. Shakira did, indeed, make her presence felt at the Met Gala.
