Nelly Furtado had heads turning with her leggy look during her performance at the Boardmasters Festival in the UK Saturday.
The 'I'm Like a Bird' singer, 46, showed off her curves in metallic ruffled hot pants, a green halter top and embellished knee-high boots.
She completed her eye-catching outfit with lime green, furry off-the-shoulder sleeves, silver chain necklaces, drop earrings and black sunglasses.
Furtado shared video of herself interacting with fans during her performance on her Instagram Stories.
She re-posted fellow singer Katy B who had duetted with her on-stage and wrote, 'They say don't meet your heroes but @nellyfurtado is the loveliest queen.'
In January, Furtado addressed false rumours about her body while posing in an orange bikini on Instagram.
'This year I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a brand new way, while simultaneously I experienced new levels of self-love and genuine confidence from within,' she wrote.
'For whoever cares, I have never had any face or body surgeries or augmentation, besides for veneers on the top row of my teeth, quite recently,' she continued. 'So far, I have not had any face or lip injections or fillers of any kind.'
Furtado urged her fans to 'express yourself freely, celebrate your individuality and know that it's perfectly OK to be OK with what you see in the mirror, and it's also OK to want something different.'
'HAVE A BODY NEUTRAL 2025, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE WITH EVERY INCH OF YOUR HEART,' she wrote.
Furtado, who's Portuguese, previously claimed that magazines used to 'lighten' her skin and alter her body shape during the early days of her fame in the 2000s.
'I have olive skin, and they'd kind of lighten my skin a lot in photos and kind of take my hips down all the time — they would always cut off in editorials,' she told People in September 2024.
She's also talked about taking a long hiatus from her career to raise her three children. She told NPR in September 2024 that she's now much more confident when she gets back into the studio.
'I just have a clear sense of detachment and boundaries, and I'm really able to kind of say, no, let's try this,' she explained. 'And I love kind of things that make me feel uncomfortable in the studio, like bringing perhaps two people together that I think might not get along, argue in the studio. I find that fun.'
