The indie favourite created an eye-catching effect while also playing with her sheer maxi skirt train on stage, as she spin around.

Looking in her element, the singer moved with grace in the dazzling garment which perfectly contrasted the bright red of her tresses.

She showcased her taut visage as she belted out her greatest hits with barely a lick of makeup to be seen. 

Earlier in May, Florence broke down in tears after she heard her song play in the new Guardians Of The Galaxy film. 

The singer posted her reaction to the characters dancing to her 2008 hit Dog Days Are Over on TikTok.  

Guardians And The Galaxy Vol 3 was released in cinemas on May 3 – and ‘superhero obsessed’ Florence couldn’t wait to watch it. 

The English songwriter posted her very wholesome reaction to hearing her song as she broke down in tears. 

The clip, which now has over two million views, showed her struggling to contain her emotions in a mixture of laughing and sobbing.

Accompanying her post, she wrote: ‘So I cried all the way through this movie but when the The Guardians of the Galaxy started dancing to Dog Days I really lost it. 

‘Thank you so much for all the love for this moment. The superhero obsessed little girl in me can’t believe it happened ♥️ x.’ 

The Marvel film stars Chris Pratt, 43, as Peter Quill / Star Lord in the superhero franchise. 

An official IMDB synopsis of the film states: ‘Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill rallies his team to defend the universe and one of their own – a mission that could mean the end of the Guardians if not successful.’

The singer recently released a new single, Mermaids, on April 21 after the song was originally cut from the Dance Fever album. 

However the singer confirmed it was an addition to the ‘Dance Fever Universe’. 

She had teased the song by posing topless while lying in a bathtub dressed as a mermaid at the start of the month. 

The London-born singer shared a snippet of her new music as she relaxed with her head back and her tail gently swaying. 

She has previously alluded to the importance of her childhood mermaid dreams featuring in her music.

She said: ‘I kind of had these fantasies of Atlantis and of mermaids, and this idea that underwater, that’s where everything must be.

‘I was a slightly uncomfortable child, so to be underwater was to be graceful and to be submerged in something that was neither good nor bad. It just kind of takes you under, away from something.’
