Shakira attended the 2023 Spanish GP as a special guest of Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. The Colombian pop star was present in the Mercedes garage, rooting for the Briton who took P2 in the race. Rumor has it that Shakira had no plans of attending the race. The singer was in Barcelona to drop her kids at their father, Gerard Pique’s place.
However, she turned up for the race after the 7x world champion requested her to be there to support him. It turns out the Mercedes driver wooed his reported love interest with a $1,500 gift to welcome her into the race.
Did Lewis Hamilton gift Shakira a Versace blouse?
Shakira arrived in Barcelona in style to support Lewis Hamilton. The singer was spotted wearing a pink $1500 Versace silk blouse as she cheered for Hamilton from the Mercedes garage.
She shared a snap of her outfit on her Instagram with the caption, “Nice to be back in Barcelona!” In response, Donatella Versace, heiress of the luxury Italian designer, commented, “Looking amazing in Versace.”

Rumour has it that Shakira’s outfit was a special gift from her love interest Hamilton. The driver, who is good friends with Versace’s heiress, is popular for being a fashionable figure. The Briton had even visited Versace’s Cannes launch of the brand’s collaboration with Dua Lipa.
Earlier in the weekend, Hamilton joked that he’d be interested in finding a “Latina” girlfriend. So the Mercedes F1 driver might have gifted the top to the “Queen of Latin Music,” sparking a new love story.
Is Shakira dating Hamilton?
The Spanish GP was not the first time Shakira and Lewis Hamilton were spotted cozying up with each other. The two were rumored to be seeing each other when the Colombian visited the Briton during the Miami GP weekend.
The two were spotted at the Cipriani restaurant in Miami and later getting comfortable on a boat. However, the rumors became even stronger last weekend after Hamilton and Shakira were photographed after the Spanish GP in a nightclub.
The 7x world champion had his arm around his alleged girlfriend. The two were seen partying with the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe to celebrate Hamilton’s P2.
A Brazilian news channel took the mania to another level by generating a picture of Hamilton and the singer’s child with AI. The headline read, “How would the children of famous ex-couples be like if they were together?” Taking the hype even further.
Fans even credited the “Hips Don’t Lie” hitmaker for Hamilton’s blazing speed in Barcelona. While the Briton was struggling with the Mercedes W14 so far, he found some mysterious extra performance last Sunday.
Hamilton is well known to be one of F1’s very own Casanovas. He was last linked with Brazilian model Juliana Nalu. However, the driver never addressed the rumors.
