Gaurav Gupta, known for his high-fashion drama, poured over 600 hours of meticulous craftsmanship into the design, incorporating techniques first introduced in his Paris Couture Week collection Aarohanam SS24. The gown's cascading layers embodied movement and transformation, while the hand-sculpted metallic breastplate added a battle-ready edge—making Shakira appear not just as a performer but as a warrior commanding the stage.

How she styled her look

Her makeup look was equally glamorous, featuring nude eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, mascara-coated lashes, defined brows, blushed cheeks, a luminous highlighter, and a nude lipstick shade. Her luscious blonde tresses were styled in soft curls and left loose with a middle parting. The stunning look was flawlessly curated by celebrity fashion stylist Nicolas Bru.

Sharing Shakira's pictures on Instagram, Gaurav expressed his excitement, writing, "@shakira in custom Gaurav Gupta Couture for the opening night of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour @lmynlworldtour_." He further added, "Shakira wears the Lunar Wolf Breast Plate with an Ocean Wave Sculpted Silk Organza Skirt."
