Prepare yourself to see Frederic Mittendorf presenting Shakira with a medal during the official ceremony.
Take your time: Mittendorf patiently takes his time trying to pinpoint it… and then gives the medal a final touch.
And lastly, a gentle kiss from the caring clergyman.
Family moment: Shakira flashes a radiant smile for a photo with her mom Nidia and dad William by her side during the event.
Colombian singer Shakira looked stunning in a glamorous strapless gold dress at the NRJ Awards, after being honored with a French knighthood earlier in the day where she rocked a pleated skirt and knee-high boots.
Feeling chilly? Shakira made sure to have someone looking out for her hair and clothes, keeping them safe from the dreary French weather.
Thank you so much: Shakira expresses her gratitude to the French government and citizens for the recognition bestowed upon her.
Unique version: In a rare moment, Shakira is seen seated beside her fellow honoree, Patricia Kass.
