It has been two decades since she last sported fiery red hair for her Ojos Asi music video, but Shakira recently made a bold return to the vibrant hue in February. The singer, now 44, proudly flaunted her newly dyed crimson locks as she prepared for a recording session on Wednesday. In a stylish Instagram post, Shakira struck a pose in a coordinated green-and-white outfit, exuding confidence and flair with her revamped look.
Shakira confidently flaunted her vibrant red hair in a photo as she headed to a recording session, ditching her usual blonde locks for a fresh look back in 2011. With her fiery-red waves styled in loose curls, she kept them away from her face with a cute green headband, complete with bow detailing.
Adding to her chic ensemble, she wore a striped long-sleeve top tucked into a layered miniskirt, accentuating her waist with a statement green belt. Excited for her upcoming studio session, she shared in the caption: ‘Ready to head out for my first in-person studio session and meet some amazing collaborators thanks to safety protocols and vaccines. Can’t wait!’
Recently, Shakira also joined Earth Day efforts by signing a letter from the Earthshot Prize Council, urging the global community to take action in healing the planet with the same determination seen during the fight against Covid-19.
Thrilled: Hinting at her upcoming recording session, she posted: ‘All set to head out of my place for my very first in-studio session to connect with some amazing collaborators.’
Shakira recently showed her support for Earth Day by signing a letter from the Earthshot Prize Council advocating for global action in saving the planet. On Instagram, the Colombian superstar hinted at new music on the way by sharing a photo of herself recording in the studio. With over 70 million followers, she excitedly wrote in her caption, “Cooking something!” in both English and Spanish. This update comes after the release of her collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas on the track “Girl Like Me” three months prior.
Flashback: It’s been two decades since she sported fiery red hair for her music video Ojos Asi.
Last month, Shakira got her fans all excited on Instagram with hints of new music on the way. Her latest music video has soared past 310 million views on YouTube and the single has claimed the number one spot on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart. Shakira has been quiet on the studio album front since the 2017 release of El Dorado, a time that saw her battling writer’s block. In the midst of it all, she welcomed her second son Sasha in 2015 and was navigating the balancing act of motherhood and making music.
In an interview with Billboard while promoting her album El Dorado, Shakira shared her inner conflict of trying to balance spending time with her kids and nurturing her creativity as an artist. Since then, she has continued to stay in the spotlight, with a memorable performance at last year’s Super Bowl alongside Jennifer Lopez. During the halftime show, Shakira wowed the audience with throwback hits like Hips Don’t Lie and Waka Waka (This Time For Africa).
Do you recall the time when Shakira last released a studio album? It was back in 2017 with “El Dorado,” and it marked the end of a challenging period of writer’s block for her.
