Stepping up to the speakers' table, the Colombian recording artist, who's been a Goodwill Ambassador since 2003, donned a breezy little black dress with a scoop neck, which she teamed with matching platform pumps.

Shakira, who shares Sasha, 7 months, and Milan, 2, with longtime love Gerard Pique, gave an impassioned speech about the importance of education. "More than 100 million children are out of school, and 159 million boys and girls under 5 are physically and cognitively stunted due to a lack of care and proper nutrition," she began.

The "Hips Don't Lie" singer added, "Every year that passes without us making significant investment in early childhood development and initiatives that address these issues, millions of kids will be born into the same cycle of poverty and lack of opportunity. UNICEF and I have joined forces and are here today because investing early in children is an urgent matter and there isn't another moment to lose."
