Nelly Furtado delighted fans as she brought Noughties nostalgia to the Big Feastival stage on Friday night. 

The 46-year-old “I’m Like a Bird” singer turned heads at the event, flaunting her figure in a daring cut-out top adorned with a denim overlay and complemented by a chunky belt.

She teamed the garment with a distressed ra-ra skirt that flashed a hint of leg and added inches to her frame with white knee high boots. 

The mother-of-three finished off the look by layering up in a quirky pinstripe shirt and accessorising with silver hooped earrings. 

Rising to prominence in 1996, Nelly has recently been celebrated for her ‘stunning curves’ and ‘refreshingly genuine approach’ after opting to embrace her natural appearance.

In February, she captivated her fan base with a breathtaking bikini photo, unveiling the techniques celebrity makeup artists employ for award ceremonies and red carpet events.

Nelly Furtado, 46, thrilled audiences by evoking early 2000s nostalgia as she took the stage at the Big Feastival on Friday night, wearing a revealing cut-out top and mini skirt.

The “I’m Like a Bird” singer, now 46, was all set for the performance, displaying her figure in a provocative cut-out top, with a denim overlay and a bold belt.

Nelly gained fame in the Noughties with hits such as I’m Like a Bird and Turn Off the Light

“EMBRACE BODY NEUTRALITY BY 2025, BUT ABOVE ALL, LOVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART ♥️ THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES THIS YEAR,” started the caption from the Maneater singer. 

‘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 shared honestly.

The Grammy winner also revealed she had to take legal action against some ‘charlatans’ online who were ‘selling services based on selling health and beauty myths about me.’

She went on to state for the record that she’s never had any ‘face or body surgeries or augmentation, besides for veneers on the top row of my teeth, quite recently.’

Nelly also has not used face or lip injections or fillers.

Instead, her youthful glow comes from ‘a loving, old school facialist who I purchase serums and creams from and I started that when I was 20.’

She also revealed the trick used for photo shoots and red carpet appearances.

‘The day before photo shoots and red carpets I drink a lot of water and sleep on my back. Sometimes on the red carpet or at photo shoots my makeup artist uses face tape to give my eyes skin and makeup more lift.

‘Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes. Body makeup can also sometimes be contoured to achieve a certain look,’ she explained.

She praised the use of makeup, writing, ‘Makeup can do magical things! So can great eyebrows! So can a great hairstylist! So can great underthings!’

She concluded by writing that she has no makeup on and hasn’t used any editing or filters on the photos – just a good old fashioned ‘spray tan.’

‘I have spider veins and they remind me of my mom and aunties and life so I think that’s why I haven’t parted with them so far ❤️,’ she said.

‘My New Year’s message for 2025, is 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. We are all cute little humans just bouncing around the earth looking for hugs.

Nelly’s fans rushed to the comments section to share their support and praise her beauty and honesty.

Nelly is a mother of three – she shares her daughter Nevis, 21, with her ex-boyfriend Jasper Gahunia, as well as two other children, a son and a daughter whose names she has not disclosed with the rapper Jerry aka Gerard Damien Long.
