Floripa Music Festival in Florianopolis and Carnival in Rio: 'Let's go Brazil!': Black Eyed Peas star Fergie is on sparkling form at a huge carnival event

She's used to shaking her lady lumps as a member of the Black Eyed Peas so Fergie was more than prepared for an appearance at Brazil's annual carnival. 

The singer, 36, was pictured on stage at the Floripa Music Festival in Florianopolis, Brazil.
She was in the Brazilian city as part of the celebrations that are taking part across the country during carnival.

Wearing a sparkling mini dress and red pumps, Fergie performed for the huge crowd that had gathered at the event where she sang some of her better known songs.
And she invited the audience to join in, holding her microphone aloft so they could respond by singing her lyrics back to her.
Earlier in the day she took to her Twitter page to whip up anticipation for her appearance.
She wrote in Portuguese, saying: 'Mau posso esperar para bombar com voces hoje a noite! Floripa Music Festival no Stage Park! Vamosss Brasil!!! Beijossss.'

Which roughly translates to: 'Can not wait to pump with you tonight! Floripa Music Festival in the Park Stage! Let's go Brazil! Kisses.'
Fergie was one of a number of famous faces who appeared at carnival-related events across Brazil.
Every year the country's larger companies pay for celebrities to appear in their boxes to help promote their brand. 
Jennifer Lopez was said to be appearing in the box of Brahma, Brazil's largest brewer, according to the Daily O Globo.

Brahma also invited Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but their presence was unconfirmed due to a possible scheduling problem, the Daily Extra said, quoting an company executive.
Another Brazilian brewer, Devassa, announced on its website: 'The secret is out: Hugh Hefner will be present in our box' at the renovated Sambadadrome, where the city's best samba schools will vie for the title of Carnival champion with lavishly decorated floats and scores of scantily dressed women.
Top Brazilian companies also sent invitations to other international stars, including Paris Hilton, Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Bono, Matthew McConaughey, a common marketing strategy to lure clients to their lavish boxes during Carnival.
