Singing the official theme song 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' with local group Freshly Ground, the Columbian singer wears an eye-grabbing costume from Robert Cavalli.
Shakira has brought color to the closing ceremony of 2010 World Cup. The Columbian singer wore an eye-grabbing costume that was designed by Robert Cavalli on Sunday night, July 11 when she took the stage performing the official theme song of the event "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" with local group Freshly Ground.
The 33-year-old beauty took center field at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa before the final match between finalists Spain and Netherlands. During her performance, she showed off her dancing skill in the brightly-colored outfit, which was described as a "belly-baring tulle top embroidered with multicolor pearls, and a silk fringed skirt - complete with a floral motif and animalier print."
Soon after the "She Wolf " hitmaker performed, former African president Nelson Mandela made an appearance. Although he has been in frail health, the 91-year-old politician took his time to greet the almost 90,000 spectators by touring the pitch in a golf cart. Aside from Shakira, Stoan Seate, Abigail Kubeka and Mafikzolo also entertained the audience.
2010 World Cup witnessed Spain beating out The Netherlands with a single goal from midfielder Andres Iniesta just four minutes before the second part of the extra time ended. Inking its name on history, Spain brought home the World Cup trophy for the first time and upset The Netherlands with its third World Cup final lost.
