Shakira meditates at the beach in a metallic bikini hours after Antonio de la Rúa's reunion

Shakira is rewriting music history with her world tour and proving that 48 looks spectacular on her. The Colombian superstar turned heads when she was spotted relaxing on the sand in a metallic pink bikini with a playful beaded fringe, her toned midriff stealing the spotlight.

Shakira carved out a rare moment of calm between sold-out stadiums and screaming fans. At one point, she sat on the sand, cross-legged, eyes closed, hands resting on her knees in a meditative pose.

 Later, she waded into the waves, pulling her caramel-blonde curls into a bun before slipping on a matching pink cover-up skirt. A bold red leather tote completed her effortlessly chic beach look.

It was the kind of downtime only a superstar on the run from one record-smashing show to the next can truly appreciate. After all, her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour is officially the biggest female tour of 2025 so far, outselling Beyoncé and Lady Gaga in ticket sales and box office numbers, per the Daily Mail.

From Beyoncé's Inspiration to Stadium Queen

The Miami crowd recently got a glimpse of Shakira's gratitude when she admitted her inspiration for these mega stadium shows came directly from Beyoncé. "The last time I came to Hard Rock Stadium, I saw Beyoncé's show and I said to myself, 'How amazing would it be if I could play the stadium one day?'" Shakira told fans. "How amazing that tonight, I'm here playing two stadiums. I have the best crowd in the world. You make all of my dreams come true."

After months of rumors, Shakira finally confirmed she'll bring the tour to the UK, a move fans across Europe have been begging for. And with Monterrey, Nuevo León is up next on August 23, and the momentum doesn't look like it's slowing anytime soon.

A Cozy Reunion That Has Fans Talking

While her beach meditation made headlines, another moment lit up social media hours earlier. Shakira was seen enjoying an intimate dinner in San Diego with her ex-partner of more than a decade, Antonio de la Rúa. 

The dinner wasn't just the two of them—her kids, Sasha and Milan, and her brother Tonino also joined—but the cozy setting immediately sparked whispers of a possible rekindled bond.

Fans went into a frenzy when a video surfaced showing Shakira smiling beside Antonio at an exclusive restaurant. The reunion was perfectly timed with her emotional performance in Tijuana, where she stunned the crowd by singing "Día de enero," a deeply personal ballad she originally wrote for Antonio during their relationship.

The Balance of Icon and Woman

Whether she's owning a stadium stage, meditating by the sea, or sparking headlines with a dinner date, Shakira continues to walk the line between global icon and deeply relatable woman. She's proving that resilience, passion, and even a little mystery are the ingredients to staying on top of the world.

Her next stadium show is just around the corner, but for now, fans are left wondering if that dinner with Antonio is just a sweet family reunion or the start of a brand-new chapter.
