There’s power in saying “no” — just ask Shakira, who used her Paris Couture Week outfit to make that very statement.
On Wednesday for Viktor & Rolf’s fall 2023 couture show, Shakira made a sleek arrival in a white trench dress. The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer’s attire by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, however, was far from subtle: the knee-length piece was lined along its hems, wrap belt, cuffs and sleeves with gleaming gold-framed baguette crystals.
The same embellishments lined its collared bodice, as well — which prominently featured exaggerated 3D letters simply spelling “No.”
The cheeky piece was simply styled by Shakira with a set of oversized ombré brown and gold aviator sunglasses, giving her attire a nonchalant flair.

When it came to footwear, the “She Wolf” singer went equally bold with a pair of gleaming gold All Dolled Up Sandal Plateau 140 heels from Aquazzura. Her style featured thick stacked soles with crossed toe straps, creating a cutout effect. The metallic, snake-embossed set was complete with thin ankle straps for a secure finish, as well as a slick height boost from soaring stiletto heels totaling at least 5 inches in height — which also smoothly matched her dress’ gold accents for a complementary finish.
Paris Couture Week showcases the upcoming season’s couture collections, featuring limited-run pieces crafted by hand. Held from July 3 to July 6, the fall 2023 couture schedule features new creations by Schiaparelli, Chanel, Dior, Giambattista Valli and more. This season’s event will also feature Rabanne’s creative director Julien Dossena’s debut as the latest guest designer for Jean Paul Gaultier.
