Shakira In Zuhair Murad & Kristian Aadnevik - ACM Awards 2014

With her Blake Shelton country connection, it was not a surprise to see Latin singer Shakira at the 49th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday (April 6) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Red Carpet: She took to the red carpet looking uber sexy wearing a Zuhair Murad Fall 2014 teal silk-jersey long-sleeved gown featuring an embroidered bodice with a sheer nude silk detail and black laddered-tights effect, styled with signature wavy tresses. In the wrong hands this could’ve been incredibly tacky, but Shakira’s hips don’t lie.

Performance: For her emotional high-energy performance with fellow ‘The Voice’ judge Blake Shelton of their new song ‘Medicine’, Shakira changed into a fiery red number from Kristian Aadnevik’s Fall 2014 collection. She styled the corseted red lingerie-inspired mini dress with over-the-knee boots and flesh-coloured fishnet tights. This look I was less enamoured with. Even for a performance look, I found it a little cheesy.
