Shakira is dressed simply, this shows that she doesn't have to dress up for the magazine and is not being sexualised in any way. This represents her as a strong character. This also goes against Laura Mulvey's 1975 theory of the "male gaze", this theory states that "women are seen as erotic objects of desire for the characters in the story or people in the audience." Because of her natural beauty, she does not need to show off her body to be seen as pretty or sexy. Her natural features make her attractive enough. Her smile connotes she is confident and doesn't need to be sexualised to show this.
