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.

"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!"

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.
"It’s kind of fun, because I think of how each album naturally had its own look and feel," she told Billboard. While she said she went through a "tomboy-ish" stage with Let Go and chose "goth and bondage pants" for Under My Skin, her 2022 album Love Sux was "a little bit of all of my styles over the years."

On my second album, I used to wear a lot of corsets and now corsets are back!" We're keeping our fingers crossed we see more crimped hair, butterfly clips and double denim in that case!
