Lorde bares some skin at the iHeartRadio Music Festival

She was recently slammed for her silent, interpretative dance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month.

But Lorde, 20, seems to have not let the critics hold her back as she continues travelling the globe for her World Tour.

On Saturday, the songstress was a sight for sore eyes as she donned a gorgeous black maxi-dress for the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

The New Zealand native kept her style understated by opting for the floor-sweeping charcoal number.

She wasn’t afraid of flashing a little skin and bared her shoulders thanks to the sleeveless design and spaghetti straps.

Posing nervously and grasping her fingers, Lorde chose classic accessories to adorn her body, opting for a skinny gold chain necklace which was wrapped around her neck twice.

Accentuating her natural features, the genetically blessed songwriter wore a pared back beauty palette.

With just a touch of blush, flawlessly applied foundation and a glossy nude lip, her bold eyemakeup was left to do the talking.

Lorde sported what appeared to be false lashes and teamed them with sparkly silver eyeshadow, while parting her hair on the side and giving it a slight wave.

Earlier this month, Lorde hit back at people who criticised her after she left them scratching their heads following a bizarre performance at the MTV VMAs in August.

Speaking on popular podcast WTF with Marc Maron recently, the Royals hitmaker explained: ‘People got so angry about me performing at the VMAs… I just danced!’

She added: ‘And I danced with full f***ing joy.’
