Nelly Furtado ignores the popular mantra “New Year, New Me”!
On Sunday, January 5, the singer, 46, took to Instagram to share two photos of herself wearing a bright orange bikini alongside an inspiring caption discussing the idea of being “body neutral” in 2025.
“HAVE A BODY NEUTRAL 2025 😉 BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE WITH EVERY INCH OF YOUR HEART ♥️,” Furtado wrote. “THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES THIS YEAR 🙏🏼.”
“This year, I became aware of the aesthetic pressure of my work in a completely new way, while at the same time I experienced new levels of self-love and true self-confidence from within,” the “Maneater” singer continued, looking back at the year 2024.
Furtado said she has “never had” cosmetic surgery on her face or body “except for veneers on her top row of teeth” or lip or facial injections. However, she had to “take some legal action” against business owners who sell services online “based on selling health and beauty myths about me.”

The singer revealed that her current radiant look is the result of using serums and creams provided by the “old school facial”, which she has been visiting since she was 20.
The day before filming and red carpets, I drink a lot of water and sleep on my back, Furtado revealed more beauty secrets.
“Sometimes on the red carpet or at a photo shoot, my makeup artist uses facial tape to lift my eyes, skin and makeup,” she continued. “Sometimes my stylist uses body tape to give a certain look to different silhouettes. Body makeup can sometimes also be styled to achieve a certain look.”

“Makeup can do magical things!” Furtado wrote, before declaring that her latest bikini photos were unedited and that she was wearing “no make-up” in the pictures.
She concluded: “My New Year’s message for 2025 is to express yourself freely, celebrate your individuality and know that it’s perfectly okay to be okay with what you see in the mirror, and it’s also okay to want something different.”
