Well yes: Shakira's commented look in Paris was already worn by Jennifer Lopez 5 years ago

Shaking up last season's haute couture shows, Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren presented a swim collection that more than lived up to its predecessor. A new reinvention of building codes - how well Viktor handles

That was as far as Shakira, one of the stars invited to the event, who also celebrated the savoir-faire of designers in the three decades that they have been active. The Colombian singer captured all eyes, clad in one of the firm's trench coats, in white and gold, and presenting a forceful message: "No."

A style that left no one indifferent, because in addition to fitting him like a glove, the woman from Barranquilla knew how to combine it perfectly as a dress with the appropriate accessories, a small golden bag and open platform sandals from Aquazzura. Shakira chose to leave her hair dream of hers and wear a very natural makeup, which allowed the "No" of her styling to be her true leading role.

Now, if the dress-gabardine that Shakira wore drew attention, it is also because it is not the first time that a superstar has worn it. Shakira's outfit is not from the designers' present collection, but was already presented on the catwalk. Specifically, it belongs to her Prêt-à-porter collection for autumn-winter 2008, where the firm presented it in grey.

Years later, however, it was Jennifer Lopez who wore it, in the version reinvented by the firm that the interpreter of Empty Cup wore in the last show of the Dutch in Paris.

Jennifer Lopez opted for the iconic piece in 2018, for the video for Te Boté, a single she released with Wisin

In the case of the diva from the Bronx, she gave her particular 'glam' touch to the piece, managing to dazzle herself as well as leaving enough prominence to the "no" of the piece. The singer and actress opted for makeup in golden tones and her hair collected in a long braid; in addition to some exquisite Christian Louboutin heels, to give a touch of sophistication to the outfit.

A style with which Jennifer Lopez did not need words to express what she felt singing the lyrics of the song -with phrases like "it seems that you miss getting up next to me", "you were wrong, I left a long time ago" or " Let's be serious, I kicked you out"-, what else could be a song by Shakira in 2022.

Thus, Shakira chose this piece to pay homage to the 20-year career of the designers. A piece with which she did not need to say anything else, really. Victor
