Shakira caused a stir with her stunning presence at the prestigious 75th Cannes Film Festival.
Shakira turned heads with her stunning appearance on the red carpet, channeling old Hollywood charm in a striking black maxi dress with a thigh-high slit. The strapless gown boasted a plunging sweetheart neckline, complemented by elbow-length gloves and a dazzling diamond necklace. Her choice of stiletto sandals added a touch of regal elegance to her overall ensemble. The singer opted for a natural hairstyle, allowing her curls to cascade over her shoulders effortlessly. With a radiant palette of makeup including pink lipstick and fluttering lashes, Shakira exuded confidence and glamour at the Cannes Film Festival 2022. The glamorous dress by Mônot, estimated to cost around £1,600, showcased her impeccable style. Walking the red carpet for the premiere of the Elvis movie, Shakira joined the star-studded event alongside Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. The film delves into the life of the iconic Elvis Presley, highlighting his journey from childhood to becoming a legendary figure in music and film. It also delves into his complex relationship with manager Tom Parker.
Shakira has stated that the movie will introduce the “King” to a whole new audience, including her own children. However, she is currently encountering legal troubles. In 2018, she was accused of not paying €14.5 million euros (around $15.5 million) in taxes from 2012 to 2014 due to a disagreement on her residency status. She is now facing a lawsuit in Spain for allegedly deceiving the Spanish tax authorities.
Even though Shakira stated that she was living in the Bahamas at that time, the Spanish courts alleged that she actually spent most of her time in Spain and falsely reported her location to evade paying taxes. The authorities in Spain reportedly went as far as scrutinizing invoices from Shakira’s hairstylist to track her presence in the country.
