Shakira hit the 2026 World Cup stage once again in a custom design from Roberto Cavalli for the final match’s halftime show at the New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer sported the label’s Ray of Sunset print in vibrant pink and yellow. Inspired by the late designer’s Ray of Gold motif, the two-piece set featured a bodysuit with a plunging crisscross neckline and side cutouts, paired with a skirt draped using the moulage technique, according to Roberto Cavalli’s official Instagram account.
The look was embroidered in fringe satin chiffon strips, and the entire piece was hand-embellished with more than 200,000 Swarovski crystals. The bodysuit alone took more than 120 hours to embroider and two weeks to create. The look was designed by Roberto Cavalli’s creative director Fausto Puglisi.
