Nelly Furtado has a really constructive — but “neutral” — message for 2025.
That message comes alongside a collection of bikini selfies.
The artist who helped outline a decade is now going all in on magnificence — detailing what work she has and hasn’t undergone.
Most significantly, she’s emphasizing “new levels of self-love.”
Completely happy 2025, Nelly Furtado!
Almost every week into the New 12 months, beloved 2000s singer Nelly Furtado is displaying her physique on Instagram.
Carrying a neon orange bikini within the mirror selfies, she’s advocating for one thing higher than physique positivity: physique neutrality.
“HAVE A BODY NEUTRAL 2025,” Furtado started her caption. “BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE WITH EVERY INCH OF YOUR HEART. THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES THIS YEAR!”
“This year I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a brand new way,” Nelly Furtado mirrored.
She continued: “while simultaneously I experienced new levels of self-love and genuine confidence from within.”
Furtado then shared: “I had to pursue some legal action against a few charlatans online selling services based on selling health and beauty myths about me.”
Then, Nelly Furtado quashed rumors about her face and physique
“For whoever cares, I have never had any face or body surgeries or augmentation,” she clarified, “besides for veneers on the top row of my teeth, quite recently.”
Furtado added: “So far, I have not had any face or lip injections or fillers of any kind.” That’s useful data in case anybody has heard claims on the contrary!
“But I do have a loving, old school facialist who I purchase serums and creams from,” she revealed, “and I started that when I was 20. 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,” Nelly Furtado detailed. “Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes.”
She added: “Body makeup can also sometimes be contoured to achieve a certain look.” One basic instance is creating or exaggerating the look of cleavage or abs.
“Makeup can do magical things! So can great eyebrows!” Furtado famous. She continued: “So can a great hairstylist! So can great underthings!”
‘We are all just cute little humans’
“These photos I have no makeup and there is no editing or filters on these photos,” Nelly Furtado stated of her bikini selfies. “But I do have a spray tan!”
She added: “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.”
Furtado concluded: “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.” Very true!
