Avril Lavigne puts on very cheeky display in daring outfit that divides fans

Avril Lavigne often serves up grunge-girl style inspiration, and her latest social media post was no exception.

The Complicated singer, 38, added nine Instagram photos alongside the caption: “Lyfe Lately,” and one cheeky photo sparked quite a reaction among her followers. In the mirror selfie, Avril turned side on to reveal her low-rise black trousers with a 90s-style G-string visible above the waistline, alongside a star tattoo on her hip.

She added a cropped black jacket as she pouted for the camera with her blonde hair styled in a half-updo and her eyes accentuated with thick eyeliner and a sweeping of mascara.

Some of her other daring outfits included fishnet tights with a PVC mini skirt, a pleated purple skirt and chunky boots, and even a personalised necklace with her name written in silver and white beads.

“The 2nd pic… cover up more please… that’s not like you,” remarked one, referring to her G-string snap, while another wrote: “The Kardashification of Avril Lavigne.” More of Avril’s followers leapt to her defence over the comments, writing: “Avril grew up guys, accept it,” and: “She is a grown woman now obviously she’s going to change her look. I think she looks amazing!”

This comes shortly after Avril was pictured in a cropped black sweatshirt with crystal appliqués, a black and orange harness skirt with a corseted waist and her signature fishnet tights and combat boots during her Love Sux Tour.

The singer – who split from her fiance Mod Sun before dating rapper Tyga, 33 – has previously opened up about her ever-evolving style, which she said has changed with each of her albums.
