No mummy tummy here! Shakira shows off her stunning figure in two different bikinis, six months after giving birth to son Milan
|
She feared she would 'never be sexy again' after giving birth to her first baby back in January this year.
But Shakira showed that six months on, she has toned and shaped up to a stunning degree.
The 36-year-old Colombian born singer displayed her svelte figure and perfectly flat stomach in two different bikinis while on holiday in Hawaii.

The star sported a frilly black string two-piece teamed with a matching sheer sarong as she took to the island sands with her Spanish footballer boyfriend Gerard Piqué.
She wore little make-up and wore her long strawberry blonde hair in loose waves around her shoulders - later changing into a neon pink strapless tube top and bottoms.
Gerard showed off his tall, slim physique, sporting a pair of dark blue swimming trunks for a dip in the sea with his beau.

Since then, the singer has described losing her baby weight as 'a little stressful.'
'I knew I had to come back here to do The Voice two months after I had delivered a baby,' she said back in April. 'I didn’t have my four months of maternity like every woman on earth has. I’m not trying to complain, but it’s been a process full of challenges.'
Shakira revealed she had maintained her exercise regime during and after her pregnancy.
'I do Zumba,' she said. 'Zumba has been actually really great for me. Even during pregnancy, I kept doing it until almost the end.'
The singer has just finished a stint replacing Christina Aguilera for the fourth season of NBC singing talent show The Voice which ended last month.
'With The Voice, I don’t have time to exercise,' Shakira said while the show was on air. 'And when I have a day off, I just want to be with Milan.'
The star also admitted she felt under pressure to shed the excess pounds following the birth.
'I think that our mothers and grandmothers weren’t under the pressure women of today are after delivering a baby,' she said.
'My dad says there’s nothing better than meat over the bones. So he likes my mom a little chubby. She was never under the pressure to have to get to her old weight -and she never did.'

And despite her stunning looks and enviable figure, Shakira confessed to being self conscious after the birth.
'At first it's hard to deal with your image in the mirror,' she told Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her talk show earlier this year. 'I looked like a Shar Pei when I first delivered.
'I was like "Oh My God, am I ever going to be sexy again? Is my man ever going to be attracted to me again the way he used to be?" All these feelings that you deal with, all these fears that come to you.'

She added to InTouch that being a first time mother had its fair share of difficult moments although she described Gerard as 'such a good daddy.'
'It’s not as idyllic as everyone tells you,' she said. 'You wonder if you’re ever going to be your old self again or get your body back.
'And nobody told me babies needed to be changed so often. I’m not complaining, but it’s been full of challenges.'
