Shakira looked stylish in her latest outfit for the closing ceremonies at The World Cup in Johannesburg. Soccer’s World Cup was quite exciting according to Dose.ca, Spain beat the Netherlands 1 to 0.

But certainly all eyes were on the lovely Shakira as she took the stage to belt out her song “Waka Waka” and belly dance to it’s hip shaking tune.

Shakira wore a custom designed outfit by Cavalli with a tulle top that had lots of lovely multi colored pearls. The denim belt had stunning African style pearls. Her vibrant floral silk fringe skirt and leather bracelets also had floral appliqués, making Shakira look lovely, feminine and quite floral!

It’s easy to see that pearls were a central theme to Shakira’s “Waka Waka” outfit. With pearls on her top and her belt, they were noticeable nearly from head to toe. These lovely pearls had lustre and the pearls on her top were multi color – adding a great dimension to this unique outfit. We think she picked a fun and unique ensemble especially for The World Cup! Shakira is known for her stunning voice and her top-notch dance moves, especially her belly dancing. This outfit with a low waist was made to complement belly dancing easily.

Some women like Shakira seem so confident when they wear different pearl styles, don’t they? While a professional performer like a singer or actor has that added “edge,” we think every woman can learn to become more confident trying new pearl styles with a little practice. It can become very common to wear the same pearl styles repeatedly. But there are so many lovely pearls available – why limit yourself to only a few styles or types of pearl jewelry? Your pearl wardrobe should be plentiful and vibrant, just like Shakira! We assure you, the rewards are limitless. Try some of our helpful pearl wardrobe tips:

Consider your favorite pearl jewelry styles. Do you prefer a pearl choker or pearl button earrings? Try looking for this style in a different type of pearl, like the bold South Sea pearls or the vibrant Tahitian pearls. Choosing a different type of pearl for this same pearl jewelry style will give you a much different pearl jewelry look easily.

Change pearl styles gently and softly. Did you know that pearls are available in pale pastel colors? If you love wearing white or ivory pearls, why not try a soft pale pink, light green or light gold pearl? This is a gentle change but also a very feminine touch to any woman’s wardrobe. Everyone will easily notice your switch – without seeing a really drastic change.

Get bold and mix up your pearls! Try a different pearl style you’ve never worn before. If you always wear a pearl choker, look into wearing a pearl rope jewelry necklace – the longest pearl necklace available. Did you know you can “loop” this necklace over and over, creating your own multi-layered pearl choker?

Just like Shakira – you too can take center stage with your pearls!
