The sexy singer - who appeared in a skin-tight body and danced in a cage in her "She-Wolf" video - is too shy to bare all for a photo shoot but admits she may change her mind one day.
The 33-year-old pop star said: "I don't want to and I don't have to. I couldn't strip naked. Maybe when I'm 40 I will change my mind. Around 10 years ago I couldn't imagine putting on a skin-tight body suit and high heels and dancing in a golden cage, hanging upside down from the bars. Today I'm saying I'll never show myself naked. Our opinions change all the time."
Shakira - who is in a long-term relationship with Antonio De La Rua - thinks her reluctance to strip off is grounded in her Catholic upbringing in Columbia.
She added in an interview with website Tagesspiegel.de: "I was brought up in a very Catholic environment. My father has Lebanese roots. I grew up on the North coast of Columbia where life is quite traditional. There are things I'm not courageous enough to do."
