Nelly Furtado mocks body-shamers with pointed fashion statement
12:05 26 August, 2025Nelly Furtado sent a clever message to body-shamers amid online chatter about her body and on-stage outfits, Page Six writes.
The “I’m Like a Bird” singer headlined Manchester Pride Sunday, taking the stage in an oversized T-shirt with a cartoon hourglass body drawn to be wearing a crop top, a denim mini skirt, and a belt reading “Whoa Nelly” (the name of her debut album that she released in 2000).
The back of her shirt showed the cartoon figure’s tattoo, which read in cursive, “Better than ever.”
Furtado, 46, paired the cheeky outfit with fishnet tights and colorful boots that also read “Better than ever” — the name of a song on her latest album “7,” which she released in September 2024.
Furtado’s recent performance outfits have had fans talking. The singer wore a distressed denim bra and skirt by Stella Xingyi for her Big Feastival performance in the UK on Friday night, which she layered over a bow-tied Thirteen Crosby tank top.
A pinstriped trench coat by Samuel Gärtner, a wide belt with a buckle reading “Whoa, Nelly!” and knee-high boots completed her look.
