NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Shakira caught everyone’s attention with her incredibly daring satin white dress at the Met Gala after-party.

The ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ star showed up at the Mulberry Bar on Monday, May 6, in high spirits. Her skimpy bralette covered her body and featured two large splits showcasing her toned midriff.

The two waist-high splits revealed her legs. The songstress chose black leather thigh-high boots to complement her dress. Shakira also put on a chunky silver chain necklace and toted her essentials in a black handbag, reports DailyMail.

What did Shakira say about her Met Gala dress?

During her red carpet interview with Extratv, Shakira shared, “It's been amazing to work with Wes and his team and to be dressed by Carolina Herrera, which is a brand that is so inspiring because it was created by a woman."

"A Latina woman who is a symbol of female empowerment to me and my community so it is really amazing to be here.”

"This is my first Met Gala. I've been invited many times but it never happened, there was always something. So finally, I was able to come and I'm so excited!"

Internet reacts to Shakira's Met Gala after-party outfit

Shakira's Met Gala after-party outfit could not impress many people online as they trolled her dress. However, a few defended her choice of outfit. 

One person mocked, "Shame her dress got destroyed."

"She was deciding between a bikini or a dress so her stylist gave her both," said the other person.

One user quipped, "I have to ask, how would you put that on, I wouldn’t know where to start."

A person simply wrote, "I don't get these people..."

"At least she can sit down and fit through a doorway! Unlike most of the other attendees that I've seen," one argued.

"Looks cheap! Dresses like a clown," another slammed Shakira.

"Well let me catch them toilet paper cuz she has a gorgeous figure no matter what," wrote one. 

"That is not a dress, said a user.

A user commented, "In my opinion, she could have done better."

"Better then a lot of the other ones," agreed an online person.
