Shakira has seemingly disregarded Met Gala 2025's "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme.

The Wakka Wakka singer made a dazzling appearance at star-studded event for the second time in a row but without sticking adhere to this year’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

For the starry night, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, Shakira wore a stunning princess-like bubble gum–pink gown with a massive train designed by Prabal Gurung.

The Colombian singer-songwriter complemented her dress with a pair of sheer black gloves and a pink gemstone pendant necklace that matched the dress.

She styled her honey blonde hair into bouncy waves, cascading down to her waist with a soft pink makeup look.

Gurung, who accompanied her to the red carpet, made sure her dress was perfectly placed for the cameras.

This year's Met Gala pays homage to the costume institute's spring 2025 exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
