Over the years, Shakira has become a role model for several fans around the world. Apart from her musical talent, her attitude and charisma also inspire a whole lot of people. Millions of people also admire Shakira for the way she has publicly handled her breakup with Gerard Pique.
In retrospect, many have started to wonder whether the Colombian singer tried to give her fans a hidden message before her breakup. Or was it just a complete coincidence? At the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Shakira wore a very similar dress to Princess Diana’s ‘revenge dress’ from 1994.

Let’s dive deeper into Princess Diana and Shakira’s respective breakup and revenge sagas.
What is the ‘revenge dress’ concept all about?
At the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, Shakira turned up in a stunning outfit. Her pictures in the black dress immediately went viral on the internet. It’s important to note that the film festival was before the Shakira – Pique breakup official announcement. A few days after the Cannes event, social media naturally began to connect a few dots.

Back in 1994, Princess Diana had also gone through a similar infidelity scandal to the Colombian singer. Her former husband Prince Charles had no choice but to announce his secret relationship with Camila Parker-Bowles.
As an unintentional statement, Princess Diana wore a black dress for the Vanity Fair Gala after a few weeks. But this black dress was extremely similar to Shakira’s black dress.

Even though this is likely to be a complete coincidence, the ‘black-revenge dress’ trend was a pretty cool one to hop onto. Shakira would have felt the same sense of freedom, just like Princess Diana did decades ago.
Numerous people are still trying to decode whether the Latin American singer was trying to give her fans a hidden message before officially announcing her breakup.
In retrospect, Shakira caught Pique cheating on her in the most bizarre way possible.

Several months later, the Waka–Waka singer is busy making millions off her diss tracks against Gerard Pique.
