Fashion and style

Latin Fashion

At the beginning of her career, Shakira, like many Latin singers at that time, did not have much interest in fashion.[6] According to Vogue España, Shakira's style during the 90's was described as "rocker with hints of metal."[7][8] Vogue Mexico, described Shakira's early style as "unique" fashion that mixed the "urban" and "bucolic", highlighting both the ripped pants she used, as well as her cropped garments, which were often in her favorite shade, black.[9]

Her looks often consisted of jackets, jeans, shirts, bare feet, and long black hair.[8] Shakira dominated and imposed a trend with her used clothes for her look in youth, later the style used in her lead song from her album "Dónde Están Los Ladrones?" which is considered "traced the aesthetic coordinates of the future".[10] Later years Shakira would show a great change of image, the hair was the most criticized and notorious of her stylistic change, various people and some journalists criticized Shakira for wanting to "Americanize" and "fit in" with the other pop divas. Her wardrobe also gave a lot to talk about in the Latino youth mostly, she was shown for a more punk-inclined wardrobe with clothes made of leather and lace, this style would also be widely replicated in some young Latinas and United States during the early 2000s. According to journalist Andrea Arzola, Shakira is considered one of the forerunners of the "Peep Toe" shoe trend, being one of the first to use them.[11] According to the book "The Oxford Encyclopedia of Latinos and Latinas in the United States," Shakira managed to "introduce" another Latino fashion vocabulary with her low-rise leather jeans, leather tank top, and "unique" fashion.[12]

Indian Fashion

Shakira was credited with bringing the fashions of Middle Eastern culture to the mainstream, it is believed that her "fusion of styles" helped make people more accepting of dances and sounds from countries like India during the late 1990s.[13][14] thousand girls in Latin countries were enrolled in Belly dance classes suggesting that it was due to Shakira's total influence, after the year 2000 countries like the United States would be affected by Shakira's influence, belly dance belts would be widely used by young women and men as well as children from all over the world.[15] Such was the impact of all this that the Arabian coin belts usually worn as part of belly dance attire are commonly known as "Shakira belts".[16] In the year 2004 thanks to Shakira The use of different belts often inspired by different cultures revived the production and trend of belts in the fashion industry.[17]

Fusion Fashion

The name Fusion Fashion is a name given to a new trend in fashion in the 2000s that Shakira is credited with introducing due to her distinctive Latin and Middle Eastern aesthetic.[18][19] Also, thanks to the fusion of aesthetics, it generated a great impact in Middle Eastern countries where Shakira "opened the doors" for record labels like EMI to give several artists from countries like India the opportunity to work with them.[20]

Hair Fashion

The look that Shakira captured with her first two international albums was widely emulated by the girls especially for her fans,[9] one of the most imitated things was the hair with colored braids that she was seen wearing in the video "Ciega, Sordomuda", in various Shakira interviews in countries like Peru or Mexico, girls and young people of the time were presented with braided hair and decorated with colored ribbons.[21][22] After this style, she wore red hair for a very short time, current artists such as Karol G and Rosalía who also used hair of this color were quickly compared to Shakira,[23][24] in the 2000s Shakira used a very characteristic hair style consisting of blonde hair that contrasted strongly with black strands, according to Vogue magazine this hair style was the inspiration for artists like Miley Cyrus who during the year 2021 used a very similar style.[25]

I didn't know that," she laughs. “I'm not the type of girl who loves shopping. I actually hate it. I have no patience for shopping. I don't think in terms of fashion, really. In fact, it's the last thing I think about when it comes to doing a video or a photo shoot or that kind of thing».[30]
