Shakira and Gordon’s bond

The Met Gala is an event that’s centered on fashion. While viewers tend to focus on the stars that walk the red carpet and the designs that they wear, attendees also honor the designers, which is why it’s common to see artists walking the red carpet alongside the person responsible with their look.
