Nelly Furtado burst onto the music scene in the late ’90s and rose to pop star prominence in the Y2K era. The singer is best known for her hit songs “I’m Like a Bird,” “Turn Off the Light,” “Promiscuous Girl” and “Maneater.”
In September, Furtado reunited with fellow pop star Justin Timberlake and rapper and producer Timbaland for “Keep Going Up.” The last time the trio released a single was in 2007 with “Give It to Me.” Furtado also revealed that she has new music in the pipeline.
With her new collaboration out, Furtado has been propelled back into the spotlight. As she gears up to put out more new music for her fans, WWD looks at her style through the years.

At the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards, Furtado wore a sleeveless off-the-shoulder cocktail dress with a gold corset bodice and a white flare skirt with a tie-waist. She accessorized the dress with white statement earrings and gold and white bangles. She topped off the look with metallic silver sandals.
