Shakira had already closed the final’s show with a flourish, but hours later she was trending again for something completely different: her outfit. Black pants with cream-colored half-moons, a top with the design reversed, elbow-length gloves, dark sunglasses, and stiletto heels that stole all the attention. 👠
Not everyone applauded. Some said the look did not fit her usual style and that the occasion called for something different. Others went further and questioned whether the design was appropriate for her age. Her fans’ response was quick to come: at 49 years old, the Colombian singer has an enviable figure and has every right to dress however she wants.
What few expected was the price. Top: US$216. Leggings: US$390. Gloves: US$230. Sunglasses: US$450. And the shoes, the crown jewel, US$1.700. In total, the outfit came to US$2.986. The World Cup ended, but the debate over this look was just beginning. ⚽
