Shakira looked incredible in a cut-out lacy dress as she performed in Colombia on Monday in an outfit reminiscent of her noughties Laundry Service era on Sunday.
The Hips Don’t Lie singer, now 48, beamed as she danced barefoot on the stage in Medellin, Colombia, where she got up close and personal to musician Carlos Vives, 63.
She wore a long, brown strappy dress that accentuated her curves, with cut-out sections that showed off her waist and back.
The singer, famed for her belly dancing, was true to form on stage and looked delighted as she shook her booty in an energetic display on the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, which has enjoyed unprecedented ticket sales.
In Mexico City, it surpassed the popularity of Taylor Swift’s the Eras Tour when it sold out five shows in a row at the Estadio GNP Seguros Stadium.

The tour has also been a hit with critics as well as fans, who have praised it for its high production value and Shakira’s consistently impressive performances.
Like the Eras Tour, Shakira’s current tour celebrates the singer’s decades-long career, which began way back in 1991 with her debut album Magia.
However, it was not until 2001’s Laundry Service that the singer found fame in the fest, having learned English in the early 2000s for songs such as Whenever, Wherever, which was also recorded in her native Spanish.
Shakira’s most recent album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024), was a hit in both the US and Latin America.
Speaking ahead of her tour, the singer’s stylist, Nicolas Bru, said a lot of thought went into its setlist and how her wardrobe would accompany the songs.
He told Harper’s Bazaar: ‘We discussed what songs would be featured and what the overall tone of the tour would be.
‘We really looked at essentially her career as a whole to figure out what the tone of the show would be and come up with a narrative thread of what the wardrobe would be and how we would enhance and accompany the visual world.’
Monday’s performance was Shakira’s final show before she moves onto the American leg of her tour, which kicks off on May 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

While the tour has no UK dates yet, it has been rumoured that it will come to the UK in 2026.
Shakira last performed in the UK back in 2018, while promoting her 13th studio album, El Dorado.
A source told The Sun: ‘Shakira is a massive force in music around the world and it’s been a very long time since she last performed in the UK.
‘She has a new lease of life with loads of youngsters into her music now, so she is hitting the road with her most ambitious and impressive tour ever.
‘Shakira is chucking everything but the kitchen sink at her upcoming gigs and wants to do a full lap of the globe. She’s going all-out.’
Songs on the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour setlist include Hips Don’t Lie, Suerte (Whenever, Wherever) and Waka Waka (Esto es Africa).
