The iconic diva is used to winning fans' hearts with her amazing fashion sense. It was no surprise that her latest appearance during Paris Fashion Week for the Viktor & Rolf show did the same.

Viktor & Rolf is a 30-year-old brand founded by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. The brand has often offered pieces that take a humorous approach to fashion in a unique surrealist way. For 2023, the label offered petite dresses made in non-traditional silhouettes and shapes.

While the collection certainly mesmerized fans, the front row filled with celebrities like Camilla Cabello, Emrata, and Shakira went viral. The Columbian singer commanded attention in an icy white coat dress.

While many fans were excited when they saw the dress's huge "NO" lettering, others thought the dress was sassy and divine. Some supported the "No" dress by saying, "No is an emotion" and "a full sentence."

More about Viktor & Rolf's Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Fall 2023 show

The Fall 2023 show by the label was given a conceptual and entertaining theme. The dresses were designed using the tiniest garments, most prominently bathing suits. However, these bathing suits were far from conventional and were designed with intriguing looks.

Features such as rigid ruffles, rows of bows, plunging necklines, three different bikinis on top of each other to give a tipsy effect, and more were highlights of the show. To top it all off, the models were given headless mannequins hanging onto their backs to attract the eyes of the audience.

Although it wasn't as peculiar as the pieces presented in the collection, the Waka Waka singer's "No" dress was a highlight of the show. Besides the "No" detail, the design was minimal and clad in ivory hue. The tailored design was lined with golden metallic studs to add a classic charm.
