Just in time for the holidays, Shakira debuted a new do on Twitter Tuesday. The Colombian singer, on holiday in Barcelona, popped into a salon and chopped several inches off of her hair.

According to photographers on the scene, the singer spent more than six hours inside the Jordi Ripoll salon, which opened just for her. After getting her cut — and posting a cute pic to Twitter (right) — Shakira reportedly went straight for boyfriend Gerard Pique‘s apartment.

Since Shakira has had pretty long locks for quite some time, the new style is definitely a change, but the sharp bob and fringe-y bangs — similar to Katy Perry’s new cut — are very flattering. Tell us: What do you think of Shakira’s new look?

Shakira Spawns an ‘Emotional’ New Scent

Shakira Perfume
S by Shakira Eau Florale; Inset: Michael Loccisano

She unveiled her sexy inner She Wolf last year with her first fragrance, S by Shakira, and now, Shakira is emoting even more with the launch of her second scent, S by Shakira Eau Florale. But this time, the singer is taking a more thoughtful approach to her “scent-sual” side, combining fragrant notes that elicit different feelings in those who smell it. “After working on S by Shakira with the perfumer, I became interested in the possibilities of expressing emotions through scents,” the singer said in a release. “It’s similar to the process you go through when writing a melody: certain chord combinations inspire different feelings in the listener. I wanted to find a way of expressing the feeling of pure happiness through the medium of fragrance.” The uplifting perfume combines jasmine and heliotrope flower with fresh notes of bergamot and cassis, plus sweet wild fruits, musk and vanilla. Pick up a bottle of S by Shakira Eau Florale ($17-$35) when it arrives in specialty and drug stores this SeptemberTell us: Will you buy Shakira’s second fragrance? –Kim Peiffer

Shakira Debuts Her ‘Personal and Unique’ Fragrance

Get ready to unleash your inner She Wolf! Shakira, the newest addition to Hollywood’s roster of celebrity perfumers, has bottled her famous sex appeal for her new fragrance, S by Shakira. “The type of women who feel a connection with this fragrance would be independent and strong, but also a woman with a great capacity to love and a strong sense of who they are. It’s for a woman who believes in herself,” Shakira says. The Grammy Award winner has collaborated with Puig to explore her delicate side with a scent that exudes simplicity, sensuality and self. The fragrance’s signature notes are bright jasmine, sandalwood and an oriental dream housed in a luminous bottle that evokes an oriental dancer. “Like one of my songs, I wanted S by Shakira to tell a story, and to be something personal and unique. A perfume has to really reflect something inside you, make you connect with it in an emotional way,” the singer muses. S by Shakira will hit shelves in September, with prices ranging from $17 to $35. But from the sound of it, Shakira is looking for a cadre of hit scents to join her platinum records, exclaiming “S by Shakira is only the beginning! There is definitely more to come!” – Jessie Goldberg

Roberto Cavalli

Thanks to Shakira and Roberto Cavalli, the 2010 FIFA World Cup will come to a very stylish close. The sexy singer has been tapped to perform the official song of the World Cup, “Waka-Waka”, at the Closing Ceremony on Sunday. And to help the tournament go out with a bang, Roberto Cavalli has dreamed up an extra-special creation for the international star.

A denim belt embroidered with African style pearls and leather bracelets with floral silk appliqué will round off the exotic look.

Shakira Denies Cross-Dressing Rumors: “It Was a Little Joke”

Alex Cole/AdMedia

Yes, the dude next to you in line at the cafeteria at college may have been Shakira. It has been widely reported on the internet that when the pop star attended UCLA in 2007 after touring for “Oral Fixation”, she studied history and dressed “like a boy.” When the star arrived at the 2009 Whitney Museum gala sponsored by Versace on Monday, she looked nothing like a boy, in a sexy silver gown and sleek long blonde hair. So as for those rumors? “It was a little joke I made once,” she explained to PEOPLE of the rumor. “I didn’t really dress like a guy. I used to go to university in disguise, in a cap and baggy pants. So I looked pretty much looked like a boy.” And did her fellow students recognize the superstar and her world famous curves? “They didn’t recognize me,” she confirmed emphatically with a smile. “No!” That must have been one good disguise! – Jeffrey Slonim
