With a busy schedule filled with concerts and recording sessions, as well as the responsibilities of caring for her two young boys at home, the renowned artist Shakira finds herself with little time for leisurely shopping. This likely explains the scene captured in an Instagram post she shared on Thursday, where she is surrounded by a multitude of shoes and racks adorned with exquisite clothing.

In the photograph, the stunning 38-year-old songstress stands in a studio, engrossed in the process of trying on a strapless silver grey gown while an array of glamorous high-heeled shoes are displayed before her. Accompanying the snapshot is a caption that reads, “Playing dress up! @robzangardi,” acknowledging the Los Angeles-based fashion stylist and costume designer Rob Zangardi.

The gown itself showcases a strapless bodice embellished with a dazzling combination of sequins and crystals that gracefully cascade down onto the ethereal skirt. The skirt features an irregular hemline, reaching thigh-high at the front and gradually extending into a trailing train behind the Colombian-born artist. To complement the glamorous ensemble, she opts for silver peep-toe platform high heels, although the floor and the racks behind her boast an abundance of additional shoe options, as well as an array of gowns.

As she holds out her skirt and gazes into a mirror, Shakira elegantly sweeps her tousled, long blonde tresses to one side, exuding a sense of poise and sophistication in the midst of the dress-up session.
