How Shakira is staying forever young at 46: from the MTV VMAs winner’s fitness routine including dancing, to her vigilant skincare regime and diet – and her dismissal of plastic surgery claims
- Shakira, who just owned big at the MTV VMAs alongside Taylor Swift, basically looks the same as she did in her 20s, with her toned physique, flowing hair and flawless skin – so how does she do it?
- She goes for her signature ‘no make-up’ make-up looks, eats small, nutrient-rich meals throughout the day, and stays busy with her kids Milan and Sasha, who she shares with her ex Gerard Piqué
Seriously – does Shakira age?
After being in the biz for over 30 years, it seems like she hasn’t aged a day. A pic of her in her early 20s could pass off as a photo of her now, at 46. And it’s not just her looks that keep her youthful, but her high energy too.
Maybe it’s good genes, maybe it’s a really good dietitian and trainer – either way, we want to know how she does it. Here’s a breakdown.
Shakira’s disciplined diet
According to Hello! magazine, Shakira sticks to a strict diet that involves small, nutrient-rich meals to keep her energy up during the day. To prepare for a major performance like the Super Bowl, her trainer said that Shakira eliminates sugar and dairy, but eats everything else – including the occasional treat like dark chocolate – in moderation.
A typical breakfast can include eggs and avocado with a smoothie, then a fish dish for lunch, per Hello!
Plenty of exercise – especially dance
Shakira has always been extremely toned with rock-hard abs, and she has dancing to thank as one of the reasons she’s stayed so fit over the years.
