Shakira's Changing Looks

Like most music icons of the late '90s, the early years of Shakira's career and beauty evolution involved an incredibly bold hair color. Honestly, though, she made an excellent case for the bright red hue—so much so that we'll be requesting Shakira circa 1999 at our next coloring appointment.

Shakira took the turn of the century as an opportunity to lighten up, debuting platinum Beyoncé-esque waves. 

The "Whenever, Wherever" singer closed out 2001 with a taste for the gothic, hitting N.Y.C. in a bold, eyeliner-heavy look and black lowlights. 

Shakira went lighter and brighter in 2002, though she stuck with her natural lip and signature smoky eye. 

The latina songstress showed up at a UNICEF event in 2003 with a deep side-part and romantic waves. She contrasted the softness of her hairstyle with an edgy full rim of black eyeliner and heavy mascara. 

She bangs! Shakira toned down her bright locks and threw in a wispy fringe for her appearance at the Latin America MTV Video Music Awards in 2004. 

Fresh off the release of her hit single "Hips Don't Lie," Shakira toned down her locks once more, opting for a honey-flecked shoulder-brushing 'do. 

The fresh-faced multi-hyphenate showed off her natural curls at the 2006 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards in Miami. 

The Colombian beauty stepped up her beauty game in 2007 with dirty blonde beach waves and a bold red lip.

The "She Wolf" singer flaunted her natural beauty during a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. 

Shakira reverted to her voluminous blonde locks and subtle beauty routine for an appearance in 2008. 

In 2010, Shakira released yet another hit with World Cup anthem "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)"—she also effectively lightened up her look with beachy platinum ringlets. 

Shakira got shorty in 2011 with a chic bob and a dark magenta lip. 

The mother of two switched things up FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala in Zurich with a manicured old Hollywood 'do and and a delicate dusting of makeup.

Long hair, don't care! Shakira appeared on The Tonight Show in 2013 with long blonde locks and a shimmering pastel lip. 

Shakira attended a party in Burbank, Calif. with an all-around breezy style, opting for loose waves, a sparkly lid, and a mauve lip. 

Shakira stepped out in 2015 with a bold platinum curl and a dewy complexion. 

The singer made a strong case for the half-pony at the February premiere of Zootopia. Shakira complemented the low-maintenance 'do with a light plum lip and spidery lashes. 

Shakira stunned in a deep mahogany-hued lip and her signature blonde waves.
