On June 12, 2026, Shakira took the stage at Estadio Ciudad de México to open the World Cup by performing ‘Dai Dai’ alongside Burna Boy. Minutes after the show, social media was exploding with a single question: was it really her? 😶
Thousands of users pointed to the constant use of dark glasses, a different height than people remembered, and a noticeably fuller face as “evidence” that someone else was under the Colombian singer’s curls.
But skin-specialist pharmacist Helena Rodero offered another interpretation: Shakira regularly uses the LYMA PRO laser, a non-invasive near-infrared device that stimulates collagen synthesis and reduces wrinkles, spots, and inflammation, without surgery or recovery time. The device costs approximately $2,700.
Shakira herself, 49, had shown the treatment in a video posted one day before the event. 🔬
There is no official confirmation of cosmetic procedures, neither Botox nor hyaluronic acid, which some also mentioned. Shakira did not respond to the criticism directly — she only posted a message asking that the World Cup “take place in peace”. A response that, curiously, does not deny anything. 👀
