"What a gorgeous night!"
Shakira Khan turned heads at the National Television Awards 2025, dazzling in a striking strapless red gown that highlighted her elegance and growing influence beyond Love Island.
The annual event, held on September 10 in London, celebrated the UK’s biggest TV stars.
The reality star shared glimpses of her red-carpet look on Instagram two days later, posting a carousel of images on September 12.
Her gown, designed by Vlora Mustafa, featured an embellished petal-inspired bodice that elevated the drama of the look.
She paired it with red wrist-length gloves and a delicate red scarf that matched her floor-length gown.
Accessories included a sparkling diamond ring, red and silver stud earrings, and pieces from Crystal Rocks Jewels, while a red bag from Lalingi London tied the look together.
Styled by Alicia Rose, her ensemble was completed with bold red heels.
She wore her hair in a sleek updo with a side fringe, while her makeup focused on soft glam, featuring a glossy nude lip, fluttery lashes and a sharp cat-eye.
Shakira posed on the red carpet with Harry Cooksley, her Love Island co-star and close companion, with whom she finished second in the 2025 series.
The pair became part of a beloved trio alongside Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet, strengthening her popularity beyond villa drama.
Despite facing moments of bullying, Shakira’s authenticity and resilience earned her widespread admiration and a loyal fanbase.
At the NTAs, Love Island was nominated for Most Popular Reality Competition but lost out to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Nevertheless, Shakira’s poise and statement look ensured she remained one of the evening’s most talked-about attendees.
Away from the red carpet, speculation continues to surround her relationship with Harry.
Speaking on Capital XTRA Breakfast, Shakira revealed they recently enjoyed a quiet weekend in Burnley.
She explained: “So we’ve just had a really nice weekend in Burnley, actually.
“He came up to visit, showed him the ropes, showed him the town, it was great.
“It was nice to just have a bit of R&R and like, get away from all the noise.”
She added that while things are going well, the pair are not rushing to label their relationship.
“In my past relationships, I probably dated them for three months.
“And it’s a label we are still very much figuring out… I don’t feel like there’s any pressure on it.
“I think when your relationship is in the public eye, everyone is like, ‘Why aren’t you married?’”
With her style choices, candid honesty, and growing influence, Shakira Khan continues to captivate audiences as she navigates post-villa life with both grace and authenticity.
