From Hip Scarves to Purple Wigs: The Shakira Concert Outfit Guide You Need
Shakira came back to the global stage, and it has been nothing short of extraordinary. The Colombian legend has shattered records and made history at every stop of her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” tour. The concert series kicked off in February and, to fans’ delight, is set to jet across the Americas until September.
More than a showcase of her latest album, the tour has celebrated Shakira’s longstanding career with fashion and spectacle to match. Fans have, of course, dressed the part, bringing their finest style to each concert. On social media, the world has witnessed ShakiFans’ commitment to honoring their idol with extravagant wigs, hip scarves, and other Shaki staples. It couldn’t be otherwise. In this day and era, fashion has become an essential part of the fandom and concert experience.
Don’t know what to wear to her concert yet? Here are 5 outfit ideas to channel your inner Shak.
Shakira circa 2001
Although Shakira was already an icon in the 90s, the turn of the century marked the start of a new era in her career. With “Suerte (Whenever, Wherever)” as its title track, Shakira’s Laundry Service album launched her to the global spotlight.
If there’s anything we remember from that era other than the ubiquitous “le-do-lo-le-lo-le,” is her take on Y2K fashion. Coincidentally, the fashion world is all about Y2K right now. Pulling a look from Shak circa 2001 won’t be a challenge. All you’ll need are a pair of low-rise distressed pants, a crop top, and a boho-inspired or cowboycore-leaning chunky belt.
Our selection includes a Verdusa backless fringed top retailing at $23,99. Paint it with 2000s-infused flare jeans and a Werforu belt. You’re ready to go!
- Vintage Bell Bottoms Flare Jeans – PEIHOT – $39,99
- Women’s Crisscross Backless Fringe Top – Verdusa – $23,99
- Wide Western Belt – WERFORU- $29,99
Las de la intuición
If you’re a Shakira fan, you’ve probably come across the friend groups, across genders and generations, emulating Shakira’s appearance in the music video for “La Intuición.” The outfit is a no-brainer, but it’s probably one of Shak’s most iconic looks. Luckily, it’s also an easy-to-recreate option.
First, put on a black corset or a classic white shirt. Match it with a plated miniskirt—you can find one for $25,99 on Amazon. As for accessories, wear thigh-high stockings, platform shoes, and our recommended Puistr tie. Finally, don’t forget the centerpiece of this outfit, a purple wig, which you can get for just $19,99.

- Tie – Puistr – $6,63
- Women’s High Waist Pleated Skirt – Hoerev – $25,99

Las mujeres ya no lloran, las mujeres facturan
If you feel like channeling Shakira’s latest music endeavours, look no further than her Bzrp Music Session era. Our favorite baranquillera performed her collaboration with Bizarrap at Times Square and The Tonight Show, dressed in trendy black outfits. The looks featured leather pants, sheer tops, and statement accessories.
We interpret this dress code as revenge dressing made casual. Our recommendations? Wide-legged leather pants retailing at $29,99, paired with a sultry mesh bodysuit and silver choker.
- Black Faux Leather Pants – OZICERD – $29,99
- Cut Out Mesh Sheer Bodysuit – MakeMeChic – $19,99
- Thick Chunky Metal Necklace – Mrotrida – $19,99
The hip scarf
Though Shak has accumulated a diverse look book throughout the years, she has remained loyal to her personal aesthetics. Part of that signature style has nodded to her Lebanese heritage and the influence of Middle Eastern culture in her music. Nothing exemplifies this better than her iconic hip scarves.
She has worn them in so many ways that inspiration is boundless. We might even dare to state that you can wear them with practically any outfit. Whether you pair them with a miniskirt and boots or choose to sport them over a pair of jeans, hip scarves are must-haves at a Shaki concert.
Our list of recommendations includes a black Wuchieal bellydance belt, a MOLFUJ wrap skirt, and a coin belt for $12.95.
- Women’s Sweet Bellydance Belt – Wuchieal – $14.98
- Belly Dance Hip Scarf – MOLFUJ – $10,99
- Coins Belly Dance Hip Scarf – Topbuti – $12.95
Shak’s grungier side
Speaking of Shakira’s personal style, it’s impossible not to mention her grungier side. In her earlier career days, in particular, the singer crafted a style characterized by distressed pieces, graphic tees, and darker aesthetics.
Remember the times she used to cover AC/DC on stage, or most recently, her off-stage outings? That’s what we’re talking about. Similar to Shak, bring out your edgier side with graphic tees, studded leather jackets, and black denim. Bonus points if you wear your favorite band T-shirt.
We recommend a Shakira graphic tee straight from her official store. Pair it with baggy denim pants, a statement jacket, and platform Converse, like the ones Shak often sports off-duty.
- Baggy Jeans for Women – PEAINJ – $35.99
- Faux Leather Biker Jacket – chouyatou – $62.50
- Women’s Platform Shoes – Converse
