Pucker up! Leggy Shakira is pretty as a picture in a flirty neon skater dress on the red carpet at the Zootopia premiere

She’s immortalised her famous curves, hair and clothes in animated form.

And Shakira proved why she was picked to play the graceful Gazelle in Walt Disney’s Zootopia when she put on a elegant display at the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday.

The Colombian singer, 39, looked pretty in a pink Mac Duggal skater dress as she flirted up a storm with the cameras on the red carpet, blowing kisses and flashing her gorgeous smile.

Shakira’s dress, which featured neon rose buds, was a demure choice with a Peter Pan collar and ladylike kicked out skirt.

In the new animated film, Shakira plays a pop star called Gazelle and lends her vocals to the song Try Everything, which was penned by Sia and Stargate.

Appearing at the Barcelona world premiere earlier this month, the singer revealed that she had a large part to play in the look of her blonde-tressed animal character.

She made the revelation that she insisted animators give her alter-ego a more curvaceous figure because she was ‘too slim’ at first inception.

‘I feel like her and I have a common denominator,’ she said. ‘When the directors told me about her I said “That is me”, but she was too slim so I asked them to give her more curves and put more meat on the bones. She needs bigger hips so she has them now.

She added: ‘I thought they were going to animate before I recorded the voice but it was the opposite; they recorded my voice to capture the emotions of the scene and then animated the character to my voice to reproduce the expressions. It was interesting for me.’

The musician called her character ‘opinionated’ but made the point that ‘she cares about her people. She feels she has a social responsibility.’

Busy doing her bit for promotion of the film, the mother-of-two also appeared at the LA pH๏τocall for the film earlier on Wednesday wearing a suitably chic daytime ensemble.
