Aussie rockstar wears thongs on her bust during wild performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
An Australian rocker has left little to the imagination after she took to the stage wearing a pair of thong sandals on her breasts.
The frontwoman of Amyl and the Sniffers, Amy Taylor, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday to perform her hit song Tiny Bikini.
Amy, 29, could be seen wearing mismatching thongs on her chest, one pink and one purple, as she danced across the stage and sang her lungs out to the high-energy tune.
She paired the adventurous choice of top with a pair of knee-high leather boots and tiny leather shorts that laced up on the sides, showing off her trim pins and toned abs as she rocked out on the stage.
The popstar wore her blond locks in a nostalgic 80s do while donning bright blue eye makeup and red lipstick.
The punk rock band, based in Melbourne, have won three Aria Awards, including Best Group in 2022.
Amyl and the Sniffers made headlines last year after dropping an X-rated clip for their single Jerkin '.
A censored version of the clip is available on YouTube, but the band have taken to their website to upload a no-holds-barred uncensored version which features a barrage of full frontal nudity.
The video begins with a content warning, telling viewers that the purpose of the clip was not titillation but rather the promotion of body positivity.
'This video contains nudity and adult themes,' the warning began.
'The content is intended for artistic expression and body positivity, not for sexual gratification.'
The video then shows firebrand frontwoman Amy Taylor belting out the tune which contains such lines as: 'You're a dumb c**t, you're an a**ehole, every time you talk you mumble, grumble.'
She is flanked by bandmates Bryce Wilson, Declan Martens and Gus Romer, who are joined by an array of male and female models who gradually strip down as the song plays.
In a statement on the band's website, director John Angus Stewart said he was perplexed by the offence some people take to nudity.
'The level of offence that a vagina or penis can generate is absolutely bizarre,' he said 'Once Amy said to me, "If the world wasn't so f**cked up, I'd never wear clothes."'
He continued: 'It's the context we stamp onto our sex organs that makes them innately "offensive." This is why we wanted to strip away the artifice and examine the body in an open, conversational way.'
The director added that the models were allowed to dictate the pace of the shoot.
'From concept to crewing to casting, we [the production] let the project evolve in the most natural way possible, allowing our subjects to dictate their level of input based on their comfort on the day,' he said.
'We were learning what it was as we were making it, which is basically the opposite approach I'm used to.
'But because this idea was driven by people's personalities, it felt wrong to do it any other way. '
He concluded by saying that the entire production walked away from the shoot with a need to be 'less prudish.'
'Just as one's perspective changes with an Amyl song, I want to change in the same way,' the statement read.
'I think we all walked away from the shoot with an innate need to be less prudish and give less of a s**t.'
It's not the first time an Aussie band has used nudity to augment a tune, either.

Serial pest who stormed the stage at Katy Perry's Sydney concert is charged as it is revealed he is a serial offender
A man who shocked Katy Perry when he stormed on stage and accosted her during her Sydney concert on Sunday night has been charged. NSW Police have confirmed the mega fans was arrested after the incident and taken to Auburn police station. He was then charged with two offences - entering enclosed land and obstructing a person in performance of work or duties. The man, identified by News Corp as Johnson Wen, was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on June 23. Wen was also issued with a notice barring him from entering the Sydney Olympic Park Precinct for six months. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It wasn't Wen's first performance, with the rogue fan also storming the stage during the Canadian singer The Weeknd's Melbourne show last year. He even spoke to 7News at the time about his antics, admitting he had been planning his cameo for months. '(There) was way too many security guards, it looked like it was impossible to get through,' he said. 'Somehow I just managed to find a small gap in my section and as soon as I was ready to run on the stage, I ran through that small gap and then I jumped up.' He added: 'I was extremely happy and as soon as I got to The Weeknd I knew that my plan worked.' One user on Reddit also claimed Wen rushed the stage during a recent Sydney show of EDM duo The Chainsmokers. 'That's the same guy who jumped The Weeknd, The Chainsmokers and other artists/public events,' the internet sleuth claimed. 'Whether you like Katy or not, having some stranger violate you in such a way is terrifying. How this guy s even allowed in public is beyond me.' Yet another claimed that the stage invader does not limit his antics to concerts. He has a history of this,' they wrote. 'Looks like he did the same to The Weeknd last year, and ran onto the pitch at multiple cricket matches during the World Cup to harass Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.' News Corp confirmed on Tuesday that Wen, whose Instagram bio reads 'troll most hated', does have form when it comes to unauthosised appearances. In 2020, he received a $250 fine for dangling from a Brisbane footbridge and also received a $220 fine for a pitch invasion at a 2021 rugby union match. Katy, who is on the Australian leg of her Lifetimes World Tour, was performing her hit song Hot N Cold at Qudos Bank Arena when Wen broke free of the crowd and raced up to join her. The 40-year-old pop star appeared concerned and displeased, but continued the performance briefly before addressing the crowd. 'There's never going to be another show like this, so just enjoy it,' she said into the microphone. Security rushed on stage and tackled Wen, who was enthusiastically dancing alongside the pop princess. The man was removed - with some fans at the show claiming he was then ejected from the arena. Some in the audience praised Katy's 'professional' response, with the singer saying to the crowd that it had been 'an eventful 20 minutes' before carrying on with the show as scheduled.

'They are the longest days of your life. I'm not built for jail. Nobody is built for jail.' Hayden added he shared a cell with one of the prison's top dogs, a bikie, who would wake him up each morning and taunt: 'Border breacher, border breacher'. Belinda found fame on season eight of Married At First Sight, which aired in 2021. She and her on-screen husband Patrick Dwyer were deemed the 'golden couple' of the series but split up after nine months.

Andy Lee makes smug comment about not having kids with his partner of ten years Rebecca Harding
Andy Lee has risked rustling up some internet trolls with his latest comment about his child-free lifestyle with his partner of 10 years, Rebecca Harding. The Australian comedian and his fiancée recently celebrated the fourth birthday of their only child, a beloved Welsh Terrier named Henri. On Monday, the 43-year-old luxuriated in a midday sleep in to mark the King's Birthday public holiday. 'It's 11.48am,' he captioned a photo taken of his dog curled up at his feet in bed, with the curtains in his Melbourne apartment still drawn. Andy shared the post to his Stories with the caption: 'Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, returned to Melbourne on Saturday from a quick jaunt to New York City to pay a visit to Andy's recently opened Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates. With Andy at the helm of the venture, it is backed by an owner's group that includes the likes of Hamish Blake, tennis star Ash Barty, surfing legend Mick Fanning, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman. The comic did not let jet lag get to him either, getting back on the tools at his $8million renovation of an 1870s-era home built on the banks of Melbourne's Yarra River by Saturday afternoon. Andy freely admits that the ambitious project has taken precedence over planning their upcoming wedding. 'Most of our planning times and decision time we spend on the house,' Andy said with a laugh when he appeared on TMZ's Big Down Unda podcast in March. Asked by host Charlie Cotton for details about the wedding, Andy said he was 'lo-fi' while Bec is very 'hi fi'. 'When people come round to our house I don't feel the need for napkins for instance,' he said. 'But because Bec is very hi-fi, I'm lucky because I get the benefit of is nicely laid out and its the right cutlery... 'And I'm worried that [the wedding] is going to be that X a 1000.' Andy said the couple had no plans to a family right now — but teased a potential to change that. 'If Bec wants to [have a baby] I'm open to all that kind of stuff,' he said. It's quite the turnaround from comments the comic made in an interview with Kate Langbroek for the Mammamia Unfiltered podcast last year. 'I've gone through times where I thought I would, and then I've definitely gone through patches of feeling, "I don't think I want this at all. We'll see",' Andy confessed. 'One thing I do love about not currently having kids is how available I am to my family. My mum, my dad and I were down at the beach house the other day and they said, "When are you going to start a family?" 'And I said, "You realise you wouldn't be here in this beach house if I had my own family and kids." I think I spend so much time with them because of [being child-free].' 'I love being available to people. It's something that I love with friends - being a reliable source to call upon,' he continued. 'I do definitely worry that having my own family means that I give that up... People think that's selfish. But it's not, I get a lot of self-worth [out of it].' Parenthood, he said, doesn't mean a person can't show up as a good mate, but 'it's all-consuming'. 'Naturally, people turn inward when they have their own kids,' he said. Ultimately, Andy said, marriage isn't 'super important' for the couple. He said he thinks Rebecca will be 'an amazing mum,' but the often 'unfair pressure' on child-free couples to announce their future plans isn't helpful. 'There's no rub between Bec and I on that front. Because she also doesn't want [kids] right now. This is the misconception,' he added.
