Shakira’s World Cup Outfit: Get the Look
The original
$3,210
Our version
$87
Shakira performed the World Cup halftime show in custom Roberto Cavalli, then changed into this. The crescent moon print is one of the few patterns in fashion that needs no logo and no explanation — you either recognise it instantly or you don’t, and either way it reads as expensive.
What makes the look work isn’t the print though. It’s that she committed to it completely: top, gloves, leggings, all the same motif, all in the same two colours. One piece of moon print is a statement. Four is a costume, unless the palette is this disciplined. Here’s every piece, what it costs, and how to get the same effect for a fraction of it.

You won’t find the print — Marine Serre’s crescent is trademarked, and Amazon removes anything that copies it closely. What you can match is the line: strapless, close to the body, nude enough to read as skin. Look for a proper internal band rather than plain jersey, because cheap tube tops slide down within an hour and there is no elegant way to fix that in public.
The gloves
She wore
Marine Serre
Recycled Moon Jersey Long Gloves

The gloves are what turn this from an outfit into a look. Buy matte, not satin — shine is the single most obvious tell in a photograph, and almost every cheap opera glove on the market is satin because it costs less to make. Length matters too: these need to sit well above the elbow, not at it.
The leggings
She wore
Marine Serre
Moon-print leggings in black

Closest available: Marine Serre all-over moon leggings in black.

Plain black is the right call here, not a printed approximation. A badly scaled crescent print reads as fancy dress; plain black reads as deliberate. If you want the moons at all, put them on one piece only and keep everything else solid.
The sunglasses
She wore
Balenciaga
Dynasty rectangle sunglasses in black
$560

SOJOS
Slim rectangular sunglasses in black

Narrow rectangular frames suit almost nobody in photographs and almost everybody in person — they’re an attitude choice, not a flattering one. Go slim, go black, and skip any version with visible branding on the arm.
The boots
She wore
Christian Louboutin
Dolly 160 platform ankle boots in black leather
$1,700
Price checked 8 August 2026
Closest available: Christian Louboutin Aquabootie 160 platform ankle boots. The Dolly is sold out.

Platform stiletto ankle boots in black

Keep the platform and the stiletto — that combination is the whole boot. The trick is to choose the plainest version you can find: black, round toe, no laces, no buckles, no contrast colour. That is what stops a platform this high reading as a costume. This is still the one piece worth spending on, because a bad heel-to-platform ratio leaves you standing at an angle no ankle enjoys.
How to wear it
The rule with an all-over print this loud is that nothing else can compete. Shakira wears no necklace, no bracelet, no bag, no third colour — just long silver earrings and the sunglasses. That restraint is what keeps it looking styled rather than chaotic, and it’s the easiest part to get wrong when you recreate it. The earrings are silver rather than gold, which matters: against a black-and-beige palette, warm metal fights the print.
If four moon-print pieces feels like too much — and for most occasions it is — the version that works in real life is two. Leggings and gloves, with a plain black top. Or the top with plain black trousers. You keep the reference and lose the costume.
For anywhere that isn’t a stadium, swap the 160mm platform for a flat black knee boot. The proportions still work, the print still reads, and you can walk.
