Nelly Furtado Promotes Body Positivity with Inspiring Message for 2025
On January 5, Nelly Furtado, 46, shared an empowering message with her Instagram followers, encouraging a “body neutral 2025.” Accompanying the post were two photos of the singer in a bright orange bikini. In her caption, Furtado reflected on self-love, confidence, and her experiences in the past year.
“HAVE A BODY NEUTRAL 2025, 😉, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, LOVE WITH EVERY INCH OF YOUR HEART ♥️,” Furtado wrote. She thanked her fans for their support and shared insights about her journey in 2024.
Reflecting on the aesthetic pressures of her career, the “Maneater” singer admitted she had become more aware of external expectations but also achieved deeper levels of self-love and confidence. Addressing misconceptions, she stated she has never undergone cosmetic surgery, facial injections, or body modifications apart from veneers on her upper teeth.
Furtado revealed she had to take legal action against businesses falsely promoting health and beauty services using her name. She credited her radiant appearance to skincare treatments from a facialist she has been visiting since she was 20, along with practical routines like drinking water, sleeping on her back before events, and occasionally using face or body tape for styling effects.
In her post, Furtado emphasized the transformative power of makeup while disclosing that her latest bikini photos were unedited, showcasing her natural beauty without makeup. She encouraged her fans to embrace their individuality and appearance. “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.”
In November 2024, during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Furtado discussed feeling “most confident” in her 40s. She called this phase of her life a “40s glow-up” and celebrated the personal growth she has achieved.
Furtado’s message resonates with fans, promoting positivity, self-expression, and authenticity as central themes for the New Year.
