“Shakira slays in her second VMAs Versace outfit, outshining her first one!”

There is just an inexplicable allure to those safety pins used by Versace.

The 2023 MTV VMAs were dominated by Shakira, who not only won the Video Vanguard Award and gave an amazing performance, but also took home a Moon Person trophy for Best Collaboration with Karol G. During their acceptance speech, Shakira showed off a stunning Versace outfit that included the brand’s signature safety pins. Earlier in the evening, she arrived in another Versace gown with a bare back, but her second look was just as daring with cutouts, a high slit, and metallic pins. While Versace is known for its safety pin designs, Elizabeth Hurley’s iconic black dress held up by shimmering pins remains a memorable moment in fashion history.

Shakira turned heads at the 2023 MTV VMAs in a stunning chainmail dress with a lace-up back. Karol G, who collaborated with Shakira on their hit song “TQG,” expressed her disbelief at working with the iconic artist during the music video shoot. They decided to keep the collaboration under wraps by shooting the video in a studio instead of on the streets. Despite their efforts, it was hard to keep the project a secret, but they were able to create a concept that worked for them. Karol G approached Shakira after hearing her incredible duet with Ozuna and sent her the song “TQG,” which Shakira loved.
