Shakira's She-Wolf Brass Breastplate Dazzles
22 Sep
Summary
- Shakira wore a sculptural brass breastplate inspired by a she-wolf.
- The ensemble featured a Banarasi silk skirt by designer Gaurav Gupta.
- Creating the intricate breastplate took over 500 hours and 10 artisans.
Shakira recently graced her Madrid tour residency with a show-stopping creation by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta. The highlight of her ensemble was a sculptural brass breastplate, intricately designed with a she-wolf motif, symbolizing her artistic persona. This unique couture piece was the result of an extensive 500-hour labor by a team of over 10 skilled artisans.
The breastplate's avant-garde design created a striking contrast when paired with a traditional Banarasi silk brocade skirt. This juxtaposition beautifully merged sculptural fashion with time-honored textile artistry, placing Indian craftsmanship in the global spotlight. This wasn't Shakira's first collaboration with Gupta; she previously wore a similar wolf-themed metallic breastplate gown during her 2025 Rio de Janeiro tour dates.
