Colombian singer Shakira debuted a stunning red gown with a dramatic long cape at the Met Gala.

The ‘Waka Waka’ hitmaker walked the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a Carolina Herrera gown, which gave off a flamenco vibe with its dramatic train and elaborate cape with huge ruffled sleeves resembling an abstract rose.

The gown featured a high slit on the leg, an open back, a low-cut sweetheart neckline and skin-showing cutouts at the sides.

The pop star — who posed on the red carpet with Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon — paired the look with simple red platform heels and a diamond rope necklace. She kept her long hair open in natural waves and kept her glam simple.

The “Whenever, Wherever” singer isn’t the only star making her debut at the 2024 event. Chris Hemsworth, one of this year’s co-chairs, is also attending the ceremony for the first time. He was one of four people selected by Anna Wintour as co-chair People. He joins Zendaya (returning to the Met Gala for the first time since 2019), Jennifer Lopez and Bad Bunny in the post.

The works will be displayed in new ways at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, incorporating elements such as video animation, CGI, AI and more.
