Lizzo flaunted her incredible curves as she performed at a VIP dinner hosted by iHeartMedia and MediaLink at the glamorous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cannes on Tuesday (June 20). The singer, 35, donned a gold sequinned mini-dress as she performed a collection of her hits for the celebrity audience.
Her eye-catching outfit had sheer panels, a deep neckline and thigh-high slits to compliment her figure.
Her onstage look was completed by sparkly gold boots and some large hoop earrings, MailOnline reports.
Alongside a perfect palette of make-up the pop star wore her dark locks loose as they fell below her shoulders.
Radiating her trademark on-stage confidence, Lizzo’s backup singers joined her as well as a live band who all donned figure-hugging silver mini-dresses.
This comes following the singer’s announcement that she would donate $50,000 each day to black-led grass roots businesses in honour of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth became the newest US federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the bill in 2021 in honour of the liberation of enslaved Black Americans.
It has long been a regional holiday in the South of the US, which has hiked in fame since protests in 2020 over police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and many other African Americans.
On Tuesday (June 20) Lizzo announced she was donating her first $50k to the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, a charity which supports the LGBTQ community.
It’s namesake was an American gay liberation activist and self-identified drag queen renowned for being a vocal gay rights advocate as one of the most prominent figures in the 1969 Stonewall uprising.
