Charli XCX puts on a VERY racy display in tiny black hot pants and mesh top as she performs to HUGE crowd at Glastonbury
Charli XCX put on a very racy display as she graced the stage at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday evening.
The singer, 32, showed off her toned figure in tiny black leather hot pants and a mesh skull crop top.
Charli accessorised with a floaty Alexander McQueen scarf, and hid her eyes behind oversized dark sunglasses.
The crowd went wild as she performed hits including Party 4 U, Speed Drive, Sympathy Is a Knife, and 360.
Charli later performed her song Apple, and the person doing the famous viral dance was Gracie Abrams, daughter of Star Wars director JJ Abrams.
Charli reached a major career milestone with the release of her sixth album last year.
It became her highest-charting record, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and even earning her a Grammy Award.
However, in a new interview, Charli revealed that commercial success isn't her main focus going forward.
She explained that maintaining creative freedom is far more important to her than chasing chart positions.
Speaking to Culted at the Cannes International Film Festival, she said: 'I don't really feel the pressure to create another record like 'Brat' because when I was making it, even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received.
'I was really doing it for myself and marketing it in the way I wanted to for myself but I had no clue that people would kind of connect to it in the way that they did,' she said.
Charli also hinted that her next album will take a completely different direction.
'You can never really do the same thing twice and my next record will probably be a flop which I'm down for to be honest,' she added.
Thousands of revellers descended on Worthy Farm as Glastonbury Festival 2025 kicked off on Wednesday - with this year's event already shaping up to be one of the most iconic yet.
To complete her look, she sported a pair of knee-high black leather boots and over-the-knee socks as she delivered an incredible performance
She later slipped a pale pink cropped shirt over her bra and donned a multicoloured tartan print mini skirt as she delivered an electrifying performance alongside a slew of backup dancers
Headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday night were The 1975, making their debut in the coveted top slot.
However, Saturday saw Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts take to the Pyramid Stage but with sparse crowds, following sets from the likes of RAYE, Patchwork - who were revealed to be Pulp, John Fogerty, The Script, Brandi Carlile and Kaiser Chiefs.
Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo will close out the festival in style on Sunday night, while Rod Stewart is set to make his long-awaited Glastonbury debut in the beloved Sunday Legends slot.
Other major acts lighting up the weekend include Wolf Alice and The Prodigy, who are set to headline the Other Stage on Sunday.
Festivalgoers have been soaking up the sunshine, with dazzling outfits, mud-splattered boots, and round-the-clock music creating the signature Glasto magic.
With surprises, special guests, and unforgettable moments still to come, Glastonbury 2025 is already cementing its place in the festival's legendary history.
Glastonbury Festival 2025 runs from Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday, June 29, with five days of music, mayhem and star-studded performances across Worthy Farm.

Glastonbury says chants by Bob Vylan ‘crossed the line' as police assess footage
Glastonbury says chants by Bob Vylan 'crossed the line' as police assess footage The performer Bobby Vylan led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of "Death, death to the IDF" (Image: WireImage ) Glastonbury Festival has said chants by punk duo Bob Vylan have "crossed a line", as footage from their set is assessed by the police. The performer Bobby Vylan led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of "Death, death to the IDF" on Saturday, before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans "start a riot" at his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance. A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said: "As a festival, we stand against all forms of war and terrorism. "We will always believe in – and actively campaign for – hope, unity, peace and love. "With almost 4,000 performances at Glastonbury 2025, there will inevitably be artists and speakers appearing on our stages whose views we do not share, and a performer's presence here should never be seen as a tacit endorsement of their opinions and beliefs. "However, we are appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan yesterday. Article continues below "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the Festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." Health Secretary Wes Streeting said chants of "death" to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were "appalling" and that the BBC and festival have "questions to answer". As police examine videos of their comments, Mr Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: "I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens." He said what people should be talking about in the context of Israel and Gaza is the humanitarian catastrophe and the fact that Israeli settlers attacked a Christian village this week. He added: "The fact that we saw that chant at a music festival, when there were Israelis at a similar music festival who were kidnapped, murdered, raped, and in some cases still held captive, whether it's a Palestinian or an Israeli, whether it's a Christian, a Jew or a Muslim, all life is precious. "All life is sacred. And I find it pretty revolting we've got to a state in this conflict where you're supposed to sort of cheer on one side or the other like it's a football team." Asked if the BBC should have cut the live feed, he said the broadcaster has questions to answer, but that he did not know what the editorial and operational "challenges" are of taking such action. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers "to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation". On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival". Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes "grotesque", writing on X: "Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked." The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its "outrageous decision" to broadcast Bob Vylan. A spokesperson said: "Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions." A BBC spokesperson added: "Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. "During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand." Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums with their music addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage with O hAnnaidh exclaiming "Glastonbury, I'm a free man" as they took to the stage. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would "start a riot outside the courts", before clarifying: "No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine". In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be "appropriate". During the performance, Caireallain said: "The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer." Article continues below He also said a "big thank you to the Eavis family" and said "they stood strong" amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up.
