The Cambridge-born singer flew into New York City to promote her upcoming album, Crash, to be released on March 18.

Charli XCX appeared as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live’s latest episode. She premiered her single, Baby, and performed a solo version of Beg For You, which originally featured Japanese-born singer Rina Sawayama.

The 29-year-old singer recently collaborated with A.G. Cook and Vernon of the K-pop group Seventeen for a remix version of the song.

Heading to the SNL studios, the Boom Clap hitmaker set temperatures soaring in a daring glittery leotard that put her ample cleavage and abs on full display. It features a low-cut plunging neckline, a keyhole cutout, and large side cutouts.

To somehow protect her modesty, she paired the risky outfit with a Khaite Resort 2022 powersuit.

She wore the “Johnson” blazer in a chocolate brown viscose-wool blend, which you can get for $1,980 at Nordstrom, and matching Alexander wide-leg crop pants, available for $1,080 at Farfetch.

Combining ease and elegance, the tailored blazer features padded shoulders that add structure to the relaxed fit and tonal satin lapels that accent the notched lapels and welt pockets.

She kept the focus on her outfit by skipping the jewelry and wearing understated black heels with a thin ankle strap, a crisscross toe strap, and about 4-inch heels.

As for her beauty look, Charli wore a dramatic winged eye-makeup accented with tiny bronze gemstones, inspired by the hit HBO teen drama Euphoria.

She balanced the look with nude matte lipstick and styled her voluminous wavy tresses in a top-knot half-down hairstyle.

The Break the Rules singer is known for her daring fashion sense, and she once again set pulses racing when she showed off her bottoms outside The Bowery Hotel ahead of her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Cardi B gave Charli XCX the nickname Charli STD

She told the talk show host about the funny Charli STD nickname Cardi B gave her. “Basically what happened was, we did a song together with Rita Ora and Bebe Rexha,” she said about their 2018 track “Girls.”

“It was one of those scenarios where we never actually met when we made the song. We shot the music video separately and we were sending verses or whatever,” Charli added.

“And then she tweets the song and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, Cardi B tweeted my name, this is huge!’” she bursted out, before saying: “Then I checked the tag, and instead of Charli XCX [she tagged] ‘Charli STD.’”

“You know, I felt honored actually,” the “Good Ones” singer said. “If anyone is gonna make this kind of online error, it’s got to be Cardi because it’s iconic. And I’m almost happy it happened. She can call me ‘Charli STD’ whenever she wants.”

Charli posed for the paparazzi in a multicolored spiky ensemble from Chet Lo, a London-based designer famous for her knitwear and signature spiky aesthetic.

Showing off her curves and white underwear, the singer wore an asymmetrical one-shoulder textured crop top in pink and purple and a matching “Divine” see-through mini skirt made of semi-sheer knit nylon mesh.

Giving her already striking look a pop of bold color contrast, Charli carried a $1,575 Valentino Garavani One Stud mini bag in hot pink color and elongated her legs with sparkling neon boots from Paris Texas.

The “Holly” knee-high boots are embellished with tiny crystals and feature pointed toes and slender stiletto heels.

She then wore dramatic winged smokey eye-makeup and nude lipstick and styled her tresses in big waves with a deep side parting.

Last week, Charli was surprisingly covered up following her Hot 97 interview.

Leaving the radio station to head to a YSL event at Avant Gardner, the English songwriter wore a black midi dress layered underneath a black leather trench coat from Hardware LDN.

Her statement double-breasted coat is made of supple lambskin leather and features padded shoulders, contrasting red topstitching, a waist-cinching tie belt, black buttons, and detachable Mongolian fur sleeves.

She styled her look with a layered necklace and wore dazzling embellished nails that perfectly complemented the clear gemstones along her eyelids.

Carrying a black leather YSL bag in one hand, Charli kept the rest of her beauty look simple with muted nude lipstick and light pink blush.
