Nelly Furtado looks glamorous in a low-cut dress at the Toronto Film Festival’s Lido TV premiere… as she makes a surprise on-screen appearance in the new variety show

Nelly Furtado made a surprise appearance at the premiere of new variety show Lido TV in Toronto during the city’s 49th Annual Film Festival on Sunday.

The Say It Right hitmaker nailed a chic look in a black dress with cut-out details as she hit the red carpet for the new release.

And it looks like the 43-year-old might be able to turn her hand to television as she stars in an episode of the new show – created by comedian Lido Pimienta.

Nelly’s dress featured a sleeveless, one-shoulder design with a cut-out detail at the torso and chest, and a side slit.

Her auburn tresses were styled in a sleek curl as they fell free from a side part – as the singer opted for a dewy palette of makeup with a soft pink lip.

The Canadian native stepped up the accessories with a pair of hoop earrings, alongside a stack of gold bracelets on each arm and a one-of-a-kind chain necklace.

She set up a storm on the red carpet, throwing up peace signs while pouting her beam.

And the star was also joined by Lido himself as the pals giggled on the red carpet while celebrating the premiere night.

Nelly stars in one of the first three episodes of the series, in a scene where they sing an impromptu metal version of the manifesto of the far-right men’s rights movement over dinner.

Die Sau features Lido as host, along with puppet co-hosts Sunnyflower, Tomato, Tomáto and Sol – as it combines a combination of animated spots, documentary segments and comedy skits.

The Toronto Film Festival kicked off on September 8th and will run for ten days through September 18th.

The festival welcomes a number of famous faces and celebrates both international and Canadian cinema with a range of A-list guests.

And the festival appearance comes after Nelly spent a few years under the radar and retired from performing.

The singer rose to fame in 2000 with her trip-hop inspired debut album, Whoa, before finding even greater fame with songs like her 2006 hit Say It Right.

It appears she is making a comeback as she will be back on stage at Australia’s Beyond The Valley Festival for the first time in five years.
