   ya…i think she looks better, but she is covering up her trouble spots…she has horrible legs…and huge calves, so,the pants are a good call on her stylists part

   Yes, she looks like she has slimmed down, which is good. Now she needs to dye her hair back to it’s natural color, this looks terrible!

   yeah and the tan helps too

   shes built a lot like me. big boobs, small waist, big thighs (like jessica simpson 2 months ago), but u r right rian. she tottaly slimmed down. I dont know if i like her better curvy or not.

   Good lord!
   That hair colour is disgusting.. so brassy and flat. It looks like she did it herself after picking up a box of Blondissima. Wow. And the eyebrows. Didn’t anyone know better? Her stylists?
   She looked amazing her natural colour, or with black. It made her eyes pop. Now she looks a bit over baked with dry, straw-like strands.

   Weight wise she’s fine - I agree with the “learn to dress your legs” comment

   Her slim down and tan looks good on her, but I agree that she needs to go back to her natural locks. Darker is definitey better.

   Why did she go blonde?? It’s so cliche, and unflattering on her. She looked better as a brunette, JMHO.

    I don’t know about her weight but that haircut is extremely unflattering to her face.

    And why is she wearing two different shoes?? Hideous

11. By Cocottenubs on Sep 11, 2007 | Reply

    2 diff shoes? the bottom of her shoes is black platform and the light is bouncing off her right foot. and why does every damn chick celebrity have these shoes?! first we see posh strutting around town in them, then eva long-snobbia, now nelly. i’m not a fan. nelly tries to hard and i hate her hair. and i agree with a previous poster - she has hardcore cankles and a fat ass that she’s cleverly concealing with one of the hottest trends aka the wide leg pant.

    it’s the pants - she is finally learning to flanut her assets - although i have no problem with her legs…

    Blonde does not work on her! Please go dark again Nelly! I am not sure if she lost weight or not, she wasn’t that big to begin with. Nelly has always been thin, she just carries all of her weight in her bottom half. If she did lose weight, that’s fine, but she was still beautiful before.

    Satin pants are no one’s friend. She must have had to stand all evening in order to avoid wrinkling her trousers.

    Overall, she does not seem much slimmer than before - just normal.

    Also, both she and her hair look much too orange. She needs to return to her brunette roots, stat.

    Why do so many stunning brunettes insist on fugging themselves up with the cliche blonding? Feh!

    In other news, she should stick to pants, although not satin ones. Maybe a nice sort of “flowing” palazzo.

    she is so beautiful! yeah she looks thinner here and the blonde hair is cliche’, but she is beautiful none the less… seems like i remember a few years back she was really thin… what happened to that? celeb’s weights fluctuate so much…

    I didn’t know she went blonde. She was fine before but looks as if she did lose.

18. By julz on Sep 11, 2007 | Reply

    she looks like she has lost, but her tummy area was always fairly small so maybe the pants are hiding her larger hips and thighs. I dont know what it is about her but i just like her. She looks so happy all the time….love her face.
    (She could still get a bit thinner though)

    I dont see any change, she has always had a slim upper body.

    she def didnt lose if anything she gained!! did you see how big her ass looked during her performance?

23. By Fox on Sep 11, 2007 | Reply

    She would look SO much better if she didn’t have that yucky hair colour, what the hell was wrong with being a brunette?!

    Otherwise, she looks average. If those pants were white you’d be saying that she’s gained weight, they’re just a good call on the stylists behalf.

24. By Jessica on Sep 11, 2007 | Reply

    She looks about the same. I hate that thing she’s wearing, though. The heels and wide pants are definitely elongating her thick legs. At least she still looks feminine and hasn’t gone skeletal.

25. By b on Sep 11, 2007 | Reply

    she does look to have slimmed down. a couple months ago her weight had kinda fluctuated, but now she looks good. bad hair color tho.

26. By Stephanie on Sep 11, 2007 | Reply

    She tends to fluctuate. To her credit, I don’t think there have been many celebrities to pull off the high-waist thing. Could be the corset throwing me off, but she pulls this off well.

    Change the hair, though, like now.

    I think she may have lost a bit of weight but like other people have mentioned she does hide her bigger places like her legs.

    fifi I always thought it was the opposite!
    bcz any light colours add weight lol but maybe bcz it takes the attention away from the body?

    At first i stared and couldn’t see who the h*ll she was, then I red the topic again and just cried out “WHAT!?”
    She looks awful!!! DYE YOUR HAIR BACK FFS! She looks like a third Olsen-sister or something… I reallt dislike!!!!!!!!

    stupid hair colour
    its does nothing for her
    she dresses so terribly sometimes

35. By Miss M on Sep 12, 2007 | Reply

    Uh oh, why would you want to wear an outfit like that? Horrible! And sorry, she can not pull it off! I also don’t like her hair colour… you should never have the same hair colour as your skin tone is. She’s overdoing it on the fake tan too!
    She doesn’t look any different to me weightwise.

36. By Serendipity on Sep 12, 2007 | Reply

    Fifi, that seriously made me laugh. Thanks.
    Yes, she looks like she has slimmed down… but what is she wearing? It is flattering, but the onesi satin gettup with the zipper right up the front? Style is going places that I have trouble understanding.

37. By Karma on Sep 12, 2007 | Reply

    Personally, I like the outfit - definitely more flattering than those short dresses she usually sports.
    As for the hair..hm..although I usually don’t like seeing fake blonde, I kinda like it. It’s a change, and it’s not “bleach blonde” like you see these days all over Hollywood. I’m sure she’ll change it to something else soon enough..

    Well she is married isn’t she….her mind is at rest, why would she have to appear any skinnier????not everyone has to be skinny with bones sticking out. She looks very good here, but as usual, watch her fall into that hollywood epidemic

41. By maddison on Sep 12, 2007 | Reply

    I don’t see any weightloss. What I do see is clever dressing. It’s all in the pants.

    Totally agree with everyone’s comments on the haircolor. She has olive skin which does not go well with blonde hair. She can maybe experiment with Jennifer Lopez’s hair color. But, dark is better suited for Nelly.

42. By Shannon on Sep 12, 2007 | Reply

    I think she is slimmer but the pants and hair color make her look uglier.

43. By FW on Sep 12, 2007 | Reply

    she looks much slimmer but it is hard to tell in the outfit - that 80’s spandex day glow dress would look horrible on anyone - she looks healthy and in shape - not too skinnny not too overly toned - she looks really good here - i have to say i’m disappointed she’s fallen to the blonde brigade

    “Well she is married isn’t she….her mind is at rest, why would she have to appear any skinnier????”

    Whaaa? Your mind is at rest once you become married? Try telling this to all my married friends. Also, I love how some people think that once they’re married, they don’t have to worry about maintaining their weight or looks anymore. Nice.

    In other news, I really like the corset.

    What the hell does her being married or not have anything at all to do with it? I don’t think she’s married anyway.

    Just because someone is married doesn’t mean that they no longer need to be concerned with how they look. I’ve been married for almost 14 years, and let me tell you that being physically attractive is still a necessity as is sex.

    Society doesn’t want to admit it or accept it for that matter, but that’s the truth of it.

    She’s like Shania Twain. Remember how she always wore pants and openly admitted she didn’t like her legs.

    Good for Nelly for choosing pants, but satin was probably not the right fabric. You have to be awfully thin and straight to pull off loose fitting satin.

    She is ORANGE. She needs to cut back on the bad dye jobs and Mystic Tan. That is seriously gross. Weight wise she looks pretty normal though. Just… I can hardly look at her because she’s so frighteningly NEON.

    Cecelia,
    I’m with Jodi on this one. Married people have to work out too. If my boyfriend and I get married and he packs on the pounds, either he’s hitting the treadmill or we’re getting a divorce! Marriage is a promise to the other person to be the best you can be. It is MORE important, if anything, to take care of yourself once you’re married.

    Her hair is gross, her tan is gross, those pants are gross. But she looks otherwise healthy, if that is a fake tan anyway.

    I think it’s weird that the fake orange skin color has become so popular, even for women who naturally have an olive or tan complexion. In twenty years we’ll look back and wonder what the hell were we all thinking and why was everyone orange?

    She looks amazing. She used to be really thin but her hips and thighs got bigger with her pregnancy. Perhaps she has toned up a bit but I wouldn’t say she’s actually lost weight, not more than a few pounds anyway. The outfit just hides her lower half.

    Andrea, there is such a thing as metabolism change. My husband and I both work out 5 days a week and eat pretty well, but neither of us will be as skinny as we were in our early 20’s (when we drank, smoked, ate crap and never touched the gym). How sad if a slight weight gain resulted in divorce papers.

69. By hvnlycrtr on Sep 13, 2007 | Reply

    Oh, and NF: I’m too distracted by the orange glow of her skin and hair to notice a change. If you click on her “before” pics, her face does look radiant even if her outfit is hideous. She’ll never be a good singer, though.

    Ok guys, I ABSOLUTELY adore Nelly Furtado! However, the hair color/cut is so not flattering! She is Portuguese, not Polish! BACK TO BLACK! She does look thinner, but you all NEED TO KNOW THAT PORTUGUESE CHICS HAVE BIG BOOBS, WIFE HIPS AND BIG BOOTIES LOLOLOL. I know, i’m a Portagee and grew up with a bunch of cousins that are all girls…. So she might slim down more and loose some of the thickness but it won’t totally be gone! But she is my girl!! Love you Nelly!!!!! Portagee Power! lol

    i saw her on tour for her very first album in a small club in the front row, and she looked like a pixie. she was so small then! thin legs and all. after she had the baby, her upper body returned to normal but her legs looked like sausages in comparison.

    i think she has done well to keep her legs covered or to wear dark colored tights.
