#10: “Objection (Tango)” (2002)
First and foremost, we dance! This film depicts one hell of a revenge dream, beginning with a sensual tango that shows Shakira's partner pulling her in before tossing her aside.
#9: “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” (2010)
Shakira's favorite video is definitely this one, and it's simple to understand why. She met her attractive partner, Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué, during this assignment, with whom she now has two children. The video features Piqué and other players from across the world, as well as children, dancers, and the South African band Freshlyground, as the official song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
#8: “Don’t Bother” (2005)
You've been warned, men: if you're going to dump Shakira for another woman, make sure you first hide your car keys. Although you won't see her cry, her anguish may manifest itself in property destruction.
#7: “Empire” (2014)
Easily the most beautiful film on our list, it's chock-full of stunningly captured pictures that alternate from gentle and striking. Shakira begins with a ballerina-like hairstyle and tulle skirt before transforming into a runaway bride with a flaming veil.
#6: “Can’t Remember To Forget You” feat. Rihanna (2014)
Director Joseph Kahn gives us a glimpse into the glamorous life in this duet between Rihanna and Shakira. It includes a single sleep party at the bottom of an elegant staircase, a dip in a glistening hot tub, and a booty-shaking contest with RiRi against some rather fancy-looking walls, all set in a tropical home.
#5: “Underneath Your Clothes” (2002)
This video serves as a small time capsule of Shakira's early days in the English market, as it begins with a reporter questioning her about it and her teasingly responding in Spanish.
#4: “Beautiful Liar” with Beyoncé (2007)
Shakira's videos are always fiery, but Beyoncé adds an extra kick to this one. While each singer is sultry on her own, when they perform together, their hips and hair fly all over the place.
#3: “She Wolf” (2009)
Shakira-style, it's time to let your inner animals out. The attractive singer dons an enormous cut-out half-unitard and shows us everything her toned belly is capable of, prompted by a full moon that turns her normally brown eyes gray. Then she does acrobatics in a big cage while wearing a voluminous blowout, a nude bodysuit, and blinged-out stilettos.
#2: “Hips Don’t Lie” feat. Wyclef Jean (2006)
Shakira's hips are undeniably the stars of this video, but her undulating tummy and nimble ribcage also take center stage. Her naked back is decorated with sparkling decals that enhance the beauty and grace of her motions as she dances under a spotlight in a pitch-black environment.
Here are a couple honorable mentions before we reveal our #1 pick.
“The One” (2002)
“Rabiosa” feat. Pitbull (2011)
“Loca” feat. Dizzee Rascal (2010)
#1: “Whenever, Wherever” (2001)
Shakira is a force of nature with her songwriting, singing, and dancing abilities. So what could be more appropriate than a video shot in a natural setting? She belly dances barefoot in front of roaring waves, in the middle of the desert, among a stampede of wild horses, and in front of a vivid sunset, rising from the depths of the ocean like some kind of primal goddess.
