The international pop star was decked out in an all-gold gown to take home her first Grammy award in 2001.&nbsp;

L&rsquo;HISTOIRE explores fashion history moments you should know, from what actors wore on a red carpet to celebrities who made cameos on the runway. Some are unsung, and some are better known. Each is part of the fabric of today&rsquo;s fashion world, be it barrier breakers or culture makers.
When talking about Latin music, it would be remiss to not mention <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/tags/shakira">Shakira</a>, not only for her songs but for her style, too. Her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/redcarpet">red carpet</a> and off-duty looks have always garnered attention, which remains true to this day.
One of her most iconic red carpet ensembles was in 2001, when she wore a gold mini dress with a train to win her first-ever <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/grammys">Grammy Awards</a>. She was nominated in and won the Best Latin Pop Album category for Shakira&nbsp;MTV Unplugged. The belly dancing icon opted for a plunging-neckline dress with golden embroidery adorning the design that matched her champagne-hued, knee-high boots. The statement-making gown complemented her long and curly blonde tresses. She opted for minimal jewelry, like one gold ring on her left hand proving that she knows how to balance her jewelry and clothes. For makeup, the singer donned a subtle pink glossy lip with a soft pink blush and glittery smokey eye.
The Colombian-born singer has been making history in the music industry since 1991 when her debut album Magia dropped and successfully made the crossover to English music with her major hits "Hips Don't Lie" and "Beautiful Liar," a collaboration with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/beyonce">Beyonc&eacute;</a> that cemented Shakira's place and Latin music on an even more global stage. Her impact on the music industry is undeniable, but she's also established herself as a fashion icon. From low-rise jeans and crop tops that accentuate her iconic hips to sheer dresses and formal gowns, the award-winning singer has worn it all and was considered the epitome of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/y2k">Y2K</a> fashion.&nbsp;
