Shakira’s Red Carpet Close Call: Fans Divided Over Zootopia 2 Moment
Shakira’s rare appearance with her sons at the Zootopia 2 premiere took an unexpected turn when a stylist repeatedly adjusted her dress on the red carpet. The incident sparked a heated debate among fans, with opinions split over whether the stylist’s actions were appropriate.
Shakira made a rare public appearance alongside her sons, Milan, 12, and Sasha, 10, at the Zootopia 2 premiere, turning heads in a lavender turtleneck dress with long sleeves and a flowing, asymmetrical high-low hem. The event, meant to be a special family outing, nearly took a turn for the worse when her outfit required multiple on-the-spot adjustments from her stylist.
Red Carpet Tension: Dress Adjustments Draw Attention
During the event, a stylist approached Shakira three separate times to fix the hem of her dress, focusing on the area around her left upper thigh. The repeated adjustments, captured in a widely shared video, quickly became a talking point online. Some viewers saw the stylist’s actions as routine, while others felt the situation dragged on uncomfortably long.
One comment summed up the mood:
You can see the uncomfortable reaction. That means no
The singer’s body language spoke volumes—she placed her hands defensively over the hem as the stylist continued to make tweaks, signaling clear discomfort.
Fans Weigh In: Mixed Reactions to the Incident
The video of the red carpet moment sparked a flurry of responses. Some fans defended the stylist, suggesting he was simply doing his job and looking out for Shakira’s best interests. Others, however, felt the adjustments crossed a line, especially given Shakira’s visible unease.
Comments ranged from supportive—
He was genuinely trying to fix something on her where it looks like her body was popping out, and he was trying to fix it because of how it would’ve looked with the camera flashes. He was really looking out for her.
—to critical—
SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE WORN THAT BUT HE MADE HER TOO UNCOMFORTABLE INFRONT OF HER CHILDREN AND THE VIEWERS
—and everything in between. Some pointed out the importance of reading body language in the industry, while others argued that the stylist’s intentions were good but his timing was off.
One fan noted,
Everyone saying she was uncomfortable cuz of him. Look at her walk away. She’s covering that area. She’s uncomfortable due to the dress and the possible exposure it could give. Her stylist sees this and tries to help. He is doing that in reaction to her reaction wearing the dress. Not the other way around
The debate over who was at fault—Shakira’s dress choice or the stylist’s persistence—shows no signs of slowing down.
Zootopia 2: New Faces and Fresh Adventures
While the red carpet moment grabbed headlines, Zootopia 2 itself has been making waves since its release on November 26, 2025, nearly ten years after the original film. The sequel introduces a mysterious new villain and expands the city’s universe, with Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde teaming up to investigate Gary De’Snake, a reptilian newcomer shaking up Metropolis. The story takes viewers into unexplored areas of the city, including marshes and desert zones.
The cast features returning favorites like Ginnifer Goodwin as Judy, Jason Bateman as Nick, Shakira reprising her role as Gazelle with a fresh look and new song, and Idris Elba as Chief Bogo. Newcomers include Ke Huy Quan as Gary, Fortune Feimster as Nibbles, Quinta Brunson as Dr. Fuzzby, and Dwayne Johnson making a cameo as Zeke the dik-dik. The film’s unique trailer, which avoided dialogue, has only added to the buzz.
With the movie now in theaters, fans are eager to see how the story unfolds—and whether the conversation around Shakira’s red carpet experience will continue to spark debate.
