looks like a waste of material to me, why would you want so much fabric around your feet
“Not the Theme,” — Shakira’s Met Gala Outfit Causes Internet Uproar
The 2025 Met Gala, themed “Tailored For You,” promised a night of extravagant glamour and historical homage. But when Shakira walked the red carpet, fans had mixed feelings. Her look veered so far from the theme that it sparked instant backlash online. While some praise her fearless individuality, others think she missed the mark entirely.
One user expressed a nuanced view, commenting: “I think showing up off theme is disrespectful. Especially since it was honoring real life people. You do look amazing though which I guess is all that was important.” Her take reflects a sentiment shared by many — admiration for Shakira’s style, mixed with disappointment over her straying from the event’s theme, which celebrated Black menswear fashion and cultural legacy.
The other user echoed a similar sentiment, saying: “Love you Shakira but this dress was not it. Way too much material and it was off theme.” Still, some fans didn’t hold back their love regardless of the debate. They simply gushed, “Omg, you’re so gorgeous”.
Some fans seemed a bit puzzled about the event’s requirements altogether. One of them openly asked, “WHAT IS THE THEME ???” while the other clarified things, reminding others, “Is not the theme: Tailoring Black Style?”
Despite facing strong criticism, Shakira still received praise from many who admired her dress—even though they agreed it didn’t align with the event’s theme.
Shakira needed help from three bodyguards to manage the dramatic train of her gown while walking the Met Gala carpet. “My legs are shaking just trying to balance it,” she told a news media outlet.
