Shakira was dreaming of denim at the announcement of the FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show during Global Citizen NOW 2026 at Spring Studios on Thursday in New York City. The superstar attended the event in one of her most daring shoe choices yet.
The “Zoo” singer soared into the press conference in a pair of sky-high Jeffrey Campbell denim boots. She opted for the Jeffrey Campbell Cute-Jeans thigh-high denim boots. The dramatic shoe style featured a plaid lattice design in a medium-wash denim. The intricate lattice was made from deconstructed seams that climbed to the top of the 13-inch shaft of the thigh-high denim design.
