FKA Twigs put on a racy display in a double-buckled bra with matching leather hot pants as she performed in Chicago.
The 37-year-old British singer, whose real name is Tahliah Barnett, took to the stage in Illinois on Tuesday.
For her Eusexua tour date at The Salt Shed, Twigs wore a daring ensemble featuring a grey leather bra featuring tow chunky silver buckles exposing her cleavage.
Meanwhile on the bottom she wore matching hot pants which gave the appearance of a jock strap and featured long belts hanging off.
She completed the ensemble with shin-high lace-up boots as she was surrounded by dancers, many of whom were dressed in skin-coloured clothing to appear nude.
The show appeared to be rescheduled tour dates as Twigs had been due to perform in Chicago back in March but was forced to cancel due to visa issues.
Twigs left fans confused last month after appearing on the Met Gala 2025 red carpet following the cancellation of a recent string of US tour dates due to 'ongoing visa issues.'
She was a vision in a feathered flapper dress at the biggest fashion event of the year on Monday, putting on a leggy display with a daring thigh high split in her eye-catching green skirt.
While Twigs oozed glamor on the carpet, it seems as though her attendance caused a stir on social media from perplexed fans who believed that she was still facing visa problems - despite her recently explaining this had been resolved.
It comes after she had been forced to axe several of her US and Latin America dates at the end of March, including Coachella.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, many voiced their confusion, as they wrote: 'But wait I thought her visa wasn't valid?';
'Oh suddenly her visa works…'; 'So, she got her visa for the met gala but not Coachella… okay girl,';
'So she had visa issues for performing in Latam and the US but not for attending the Met Gala. I see how it is,';
'So what happened to those visa complications…'; 'The fact she came for this instead of prioritising performing at Coachella is so funny.'
Twigs, however, recently explained that the 'ongoing visa issues' had been down to her production team not filing the correct paperwork in time for her US shows - hence her appearance at the Met Gala.
In a video posted online, she explained: 'Hi everyone, I wanted to come on here to talk to you and address some things that have been happening behind the scenes in my world.
'Behind the scenes practically with production and the more practical side of putting this tour together so today I was informed that production did not fill out the correct paperwork in a timely manner to have our visas to come for the USA to perform.
'I don't take this lightly, I am completely devastated to be honest with you, I am heartbroken.'
She added: 'So with that being said, I will be rescheduling these shows and information will be coming on that very shortly.
'I can't wait to bring Eusexua to you, it's truly been one of the greatest achievements of my life.'
Twigs was due to perform in Chicago on March 26 and in Toronto, Canada on March 30 which would have been followed by two shows in New York on April 3 and 4.
She had previously confirmed the axed tour dates in a statement posted to Instagram.
At the time, she wrote in a statement: 'It pains me to say this because I am so excited to bring you a creation that I have poured my soul into and I believe is amongst my strongest work and I know this news impacts so many of you that have already made plans and spent money in order to see these shows.'
Days before the Met Gala, Twigs lit up the stage on May 1 at the star-studded grand opening of GITANO NYC, which marked her first US appearance since her canceled dates.
She wowed the crowd — which included Chloë Sevigny, Luann de Lesseps, and Adam Lambert — with her signature sultry vocals and magnetic stage presence.
