Shakira Caine (born Shakira Baksh on 23 February, 1947, also known as Shakira and Lady Micklewhite), is a British former fashion model and actress of Indian descent.

Shakira Caine (neé Baksh) was born in Guyana to a Muslim family of Indian origin. Her mother was a dressmaker, and she aspired to follow in her footsteps and become a fashion designer. While working as a secretary her boss urged her to enter the Miss Guyana contest, where she won the Miss Guyana title. She ended up in third place in the 1967 Miss World contest in London at the age of 19; from there she would launch a career in modeling.

Shakira Baksh married British actor Michael Caine "in Las Vegas, Nevada, on 8 January 1973." [http://www.michaelcaine.com/Dates.htm Michael Caine's Important dates] and appeared with him in John Huston's "The Man Who Would Be King". They have one daughter, Natasha. She met her husband after he became obsessed with finding "the most beautiful woman he had ever seen" after seeing her in a commercial for Maxwell House coffee. He was planning on going to Brazil to track her down but it turned out that she was living in London, England. A friend gave him her phone number and the rest is history. They live at their home in Downs Lane, Leatherhead, Surrey.

She is good friends with the First Lady of Iceland Dorrit Moussaieff. [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/objects/pages/PrintArticleEn.jhtml?itemNo=378212]
