Tones and I has continued to take pride in her recent weight loss journey.
The singer, real name Toni Watson, shared a short video to Instagram on Friday which showed off her slender figure.
Dressed in a sheer ruched top and a mini skirt, Tones and I, 32, held her phone up at a high camera angle and shook her long blonde locks for the 'fit check.
The ARIA winner twisted from side to side and smiled as she held one hand placed on her stomach.
She accessorised the form-fitting look with a full face of make up, layered gold necklaces, and an Instagram filter.

The Melbourne-born hitmaker recently celebrated her 32nd birthday in Los Angeles.
'LA B-day,' Tones and I captioned a carousel of images showcasing her time in the studio and blowing out 32 candles on a birthday cake.
'Also to all the videos that were made by the people I love THANK YOU! Even from all the way over the other side of the world I felt so much love. I'm so grateful!' she said.
'My girls here that made it so special and I can't thank you enough! Seriously, you made it the best day! Now bring on Vegas!!!'
The singer has gone on an incredible weight loss journey since she last toured Australia last year and has continued to embrace her burgeoning passion for fashion.
In August 2024, the singer addressed her dramatic transformation during an interview with Cosmopolitan Australia.
'When this [fame] all happened, I was not happy,' she reflected.
'I grew up as an athlete, playing basketball, and honestly those years of my life, from busking to the last year—those were me at my most unhappy with myself.'
'Being in this depressive cycle, with everything that was going on, I didn't have the mental health to say, right, I want to work hard on myself,' she told the publication.
'And the world definitely didn't make me feel better about myself. If there was any body positivity to be had, it wasn't coming my way. That affected it even more.'
'I've lost weight, so apparently that's the biggest thing that's ever happened to me in my life,' Tones and I added sarcastically.
'Everything is up for discussion. My body shape, my music, my livelihood, my relationship.
'I wish I could say that I could be someone where that doesn't affect me. But it does. Especially when like, my nanna, my family – they can see everything,' she added.
Tones and I explained her decision to embrace a more feminine style has long been the aesthetic she relates to.
'I'm not a tomboy, I'm a girly girl and I always have been,' she said. 'But I didn't feel comfortable in myself and my body, so I covered myself up.'
Tones and I's introduction to the music industry is the stuff of mythology. She was discovered busking on a Byron Bay street corner with her Casio keyboard.
The singer had been living out of a van for two years, prior to being offered a record deal.
She said the clothes she put on her back after queuing up for public showers was the farthest thing from a priority.
On stage, the singer felt the demands to be 'physically interesting' (if not 'appealing') in her pop star career, and admitted she compensated for her inability to wear the clothes that she wanted with 'colourful' streetwear.
But as time goes on, she feels more excited about fashion and using that to showcase her creative personality as much as she does in music.
'Going into this happy place now, I love myself more and I want to experiment with clothes like I used to when I was comfortable in my own skin,' she said.
It has been a big year for Tones and I, who released her second studio album, Beautifully Ordinary, and has performed with her heroes such as Pink and Cyndi Lauper.

MrBeast removes AI YouTube thumbnail tool after backlash

MrBeast has removed a YouTube thumbnail generator that used artificial intelligence (AI) after a backlash from world's most-subscribed YouTuber, real name Jimmy Donaldson, released the tool last week and said his intention had been "to help smaller creators make better thumbnails".But he admitted he had "missed the mark" after it was criticised by other high-profile YouTubers, including PointCrow and Jacksepticeye, who said the tool "steals" creators' work. In a post on X, MrBeast said he'd decided to remove the tool from his YouTube analytics platform Viewstats and would replace it with links to human artists available for commission. When he launched the AI thumbnail tool last week, MrBeast said, he "thought people were going to be pretty excited about it".The small preview pictures are a key part of any YouTuber's strategy, and are used to catch the eye of potential viewers as they scroll through a sea of Beast's tool was advertised as "taking the guesswork out" of designing eye-catching images for an $80 (£58) per month gave users the option to insert themselves into existing thumbnails and recreate the work of other AI - or GenAI - tools such as this are trained on mountains of exisiting data, which are then used to create outputs in response to user are several current court cases examining accusations of copyright theft against companies that make AI real name Eric Morino, accused MrBeast of making "something that can steal... hard work without a thought" and alleged that the AI model was "clearly trained on all our thumbnails and uses them without any creator's permission".While the US streamer said the intention of making content creation more accessible was a "great idea", the tool "fundamentally hurts creators as a whole".MrBeast acknowledged the feedback and told his followers: "I care more than any of you could ever imagine about the YouTube community."Obviously I'm the biggest YouTuber in the world and I don't take that responsibility lightly and so it deeply makes me sad when I do something that people in the community are upset by." He said his goal with Viewstats had been to build tools to help creators, "but if creators don't want the tools, no worries". The US YouTuber has more than 385 million subscribers on the site and is thought to be its highest paid has a number of other business ventures and last year hosted Beast Games, an Amazon series which saw 1,000 people competing in a series of elimination challenges for a $5m (£3.9m) cash series was named in a lawsuit where some contestants claimed they'd been "exploited" during filming - allegations MrBeast said had been "blown out of proportion".In May, the Mexican government accused him of "exploiting" the Mayan pyramids for a video and the month before he had to apologise after fans had a "horrible" experience at a Las Vegas event in his name.
