‘2000s Pop Star, 40, Unrecognizable on Recent Tour Stop: ‘I Would Not Have Known That’s Her?’ originally appeared on Parade.
Avril Lavigne is not a teenage pop star anymore.
The 40-year-old Sk8er Boi singer left fans surprised by her grown-up appearance at a recent stop on her Greatest Hits tour, which began in May 2024 and is scheduled to run through the end of June 2025. Video shared to social media from a recent tour date showed Lavigne with a more mature look, prompting one fan to write, “I would not have known that’s her?”
Some things haven’t changed over time for the Girlfriend singer. Lavigne still sports her long platinum blonde tresses and signature pop-punk style—this time in an oversized black T-shirt, short denim shorts, and knee-high black leather boots.
The comment section wasn’t entirely kind about Lavigne’s current look, but most fans were supportive and enthusiastic. One wrote, “still cute as hell,” while another shared, “I’ll always be a bit in love with her.”
We think she looks and sounds terrific. Maybe the biggest surprise is that Avril Lavigne is 40. That must mean we’re getting older, too.
