And I thought Shakira was always known for sexy outfits of the scantily clad nature. Apparently though, Shakira is just now having to issue a warning to her parents over her half-naked pictures to be seen through the promotion of her new album "She Wolf".

Today, the 32-year-old Hips Don't Lie star told The Sun she had to tell her parents, "I’m a woman now, this is the way I express myself,"

She also added she warned her parents that she won't be wearing too many clothes as the promotes the new album.

On the cover alone, Shakira bares a semi-topless upper with thigh-high, black leather boots and undies (are those even undies?).

Surprisingly, Shakira's dad was empathetic to the star's call to duty but her mom was intimidated about public perception.

“My dad understood but my mum was scared what people could think. She said, ‘Is it too much?’” she said in an interview with the Sun.

Concerns are easing though, according to reports. When Shakira's parents first saw the video that accompanied the new "She Wolf" single, her parents were impressed with her skills and looks.

“They sent me an email and said, ‘The video’s spectacular. A little provocative but spectacular’."

At 32, it's a a wonder to some Shakira even still cares but caring is definitely what helps this Columbian beauty keep her body bare-worthy and in shape.

"I always try to kind of eat in a balanced way. I became vegetarian not too long ago," she said in an interview with VH1. But to prove she's just as human as the next person, Shakira confesses she quit after only two months of vegan.

"I haven't seen a chicken in a long time … I mean, alive. That's why I'm not vegetarian any more," she added.

She also doesn't keep up with a hard-core fitness routine, despite being linked to hard-core celebrity personal trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson, and keeps most of her physical conditioning exercises on stage.

"What keeps me really fit is moving around, dancing, and jumping up and down on the stage. But I'm very lazy about training or getting on a bicycle for an hour. I just don't have the patience!"

Adding, "So usually when I'm not on the road, I gain a little weight. You might notice that now! I also try not to eat so many carbs, especially at night. But I'm not always that good."
