Computer Desk Shakira

Shakira just recreated one of the internet's oldest memes nearly 30 years later. Shakira has recreated her iconic 1997 office photo as part of a new campaign, paying tribute to one of the internet's most enduring memes. The original image-taken during a visit to the El Heraldo newsroom in Barranquilla—wasn't intended to be funny, but years later became a viral staple across social media. Few artists embrace a decades-old meme about themselves, but Shakira leaned into the joke by recreating the moment almost shot-for-shot, turning a longtime internet punchline into a nostalgic callback for fans.
