Global superstar Shakira took to Instagram to extend her warmest wishes to fashion icon Donatella Versace on her birthday. Posting throwback photos capturing cherished moments between them, Shakira’s message was simple yet filled with genuine affection: “Remembering you on your special day, Donatella! Baci 😘🎂🍾.”
In the snapshots shared on her Instagram, Shakira reminisced about the times spent with Donatella, reflecting on shared experiences and their enduring camaraderie.
Donatella Versace is the creative force behind the iconic Versace brand. She is celebrated not only for her innovative designs but also for her commitment to artistic expression. She has redefined fashion throughout her career, leaving an indelible mark on the industry with her bold aesthetic and boundary-pushing designs.
Shakira’s heartfelt birthday wishes also sparked the possibility of the singer attending the 2024 Met Gala alongside Versace. Designers and brands bring their muses to fashion’s biggest night each year.
In September 2023, Donatella honored Shakira on social media after the singer took the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards stage to receive the prestigious Video Vanguard Award. The Colombian icon made history by becoming the first South American artist to receive the honor at the VMAs, which also marked her first performance at the event in 17 years.
“What a night for you, Shakira!! Soak in the love. You are looking iconic in Versace! @shakira 💙,” Versace wrote.
