Ah, Shakira, Shakira. The Latin pop sensation set the stage on fire and left the internet buzzing after making a surprise visit to Coachella during the set of Argentine producer DJ Bizarrap. The superstar delighted fans by announcing yet another world tour, but for us on festival fashion watch, Shakira commanding the stage in a fiery red, orange and yellow ombre distressed knit set with coordinating boots that evoked her edgy early aughts aesthetic has us obsessing over the Colombian superstar's on and off stage fashion sense. Which is always nothing short of showstopping.

During countless tours and award show performances, Shakira often rocked unconventional pieces, including extremely shredded low-rise jeans and crop tops that showed off her toned abs, playing a pivotal role in Y2K fashion. She even tapped into the ongoing Western trend while promoting the single "El Jefe," having worn an all-black flirty look that featured a bodysuit, a fringe skirt, leather boots, a bedazzled belt and the quintessential cowboy hat to match.

While we love her for hits like "Hips Don't Lie," "Whenever, Wherever" and "Waka Waka," we'd be remiss to gloss over her impressive style evolution. After crossing over into mainstream music, the star has delivered many era-defining sartorial moments, like that fiery red ensemble she wore at the first Latin Grammys in 2000. A red carpet style star, Shakira has the fashion world in the palm of her hand thanks to her ability to pull off the most sultry yet timeless looks, from plunging power suits to thigh-baring gowns.

Take a stroll down memory lane of Shakira's greatest fashion moments throughout the years.
