I LOVE that she went to Paul Tazewell, who as you recall just won the Oscar for the costumes for Wicked. This is perfect for her.

I think I liked it better with the coat but not because the suit isn't good on its own.

Listen, as long as she's having fun! (I love love the hat, which is Stephen Jones.)

This photo is like a story in two outfits -- in a good way.

...I am very perplexed by this choice for this event. The color of the cape is also objectively perplexing with the rest of the look. It just gives a sort of...There Was a Sickness in The Village That Winter vibe. I just am confused.

This, coincidentally, feels somewhat bridesmaid-y on her.

This is funny and she's always amusing; the colors here are great. She does look sort of like a very peppy Victorian ghost.

This is big swing! She's carrying it off.

People on the internet are so mad about this for being Not On Theme. I don't have the energy for that -- if anything, I think we can say that "Tailored For You" means that Shakira can have a giant dress Tailored For Her if she wants. Having floated that, I agree that this feels a bit generic. If a HUGE bubblegum pink dress can be generic.
