The \u201cSay It Right\u201d singer, 46, said plenty to her critics without uttering a word when she performed during Manchester Pride in England on Sunday, Aug. 24.<\/p>\n
Photos showed the Canadian singer-songwriter seemingly responding to negative comments about her weight by wearing an oversized T-shirt with a woman’s body drawn on it.<\/p>\n
Her white top featured a woman\u2019s body scaled to her own from the neck to mid-thigh.<\/p>\n

The drawn body wore a white, cropped tank top with a black push-up bra underneath. The woman\u2019s mid-section was fully visible as the design led down to a drawn-on denim mini skirt.<\/p>\n
The faux lady accessorized with a large, bedazzled gold belt with the words \u201cWhoa Nelly\u201d on the heart-shaped buckle, teamed with several necklaces.<\/p>\n
As for Furtado, she finished the look with sparkly fishnet stockings, hot pink fingerless moto gloves, and a pair of colorful boots that came just below her knees.<\/p>\n
The \u201cManeater\u201d singer has seemingly been tuning out the naysayers for a while, choosing instead to focus on self-love.<\/p>\n
