Shakira at Wimbledon as F1 rumours swirl but fans amused by bizarre glasses
Shakira drew attention when she arrived at a rainy centre court at Wimbledon on Friday - looking like she was ready to enjoy a very different type of sport.
The 46-year-old chart topping star was among the crowds at the All England Club to watch Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz take on Russian player Daniil Medvedev.
The nail biting match saw Carlos romp to victory - winning sets 6-3 6-3 6-3 meaning the 20-year-old will face Serbian champion Novak Djokovic, 36, in the Wimbledon final on Sunday.
But sports fans were amused to see Hips Don’t Lie singer Shakira taking in the match - while hiding behind near comically large sunglasses.

Fans took to social media to comment that the music icon looked like she was preparing to go snorkelling rather than taking in some tennis.
One fan joked on Twitter: “I know it’s been raining a lot, but a snorkel mask?”

And another commented: "Not sure if those glasses are to be 1- Unnoticed or 2- Noticed."
While many others complemented the singers style, with one writing: “She looks so good”.
One person notably absent from the centre court action was Lewis Hamilton - who Shakira is rumoured to be dating.
The 38-year-old Formula One champion has been linked to Shakira since last month.

“It's fun and flirty.”
The duo fuelled the rumours earlier this week when they were spied partying until 6am while at the British Grand Prix last weekend.

Reports suggested that Shakira had flown to the UK specifically to watch Lewis take on laps around the F1 track.
After the race, the duo partied at regular celebrity bar Tape London and stayed out until early the next morning.
And reports stated that they were spotted by several other revellers, sitting together on a VIP table and regularly engaged in conversation.
Shakira was in a long-term relationship with Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué from 2011 until 2022 and together they welcomed two sons; 10-year-old Milan and eight-year-old Sasha.
While Lewis has never married either but was previously in a long-term relationship with Nicole Scherzinger - who recently got engaged to Rugby hunk Thom Evans - from 2011 until 2015.
