Camila Cabello had legs for days Thursday, during her latest public appearance plugging her brand new single I LUV IT.
The 27-year-old pop act, who rose to fame as part of the girl group Fifth Harmony, released I LUV IT as a duet with rapper Playboy Carti.
During one of the song’s verses, she croons about being ‘super-twisted’ and ‘sick’ over a love affair that has left her ‘addicted.’
In keeping with the sultry tone of the number, Camila was the image of the Hollywood pinup when she swung by SiriusXM Studios for an interview Thursday.
She modeled a slinky little pinstriped vest-dress that allowed her to show off her shapely pins, which she emphasized with long black leather boots.
The Havana hitmaker wore a sumptuous platinum blonde hairdo that cascaded extravagantly down her front as she posed for the photographers.

I LUV IT was dropped this week as the lead single from C, XOXO, which will be the fourth studio album Camila releases as a solo artist.
In the new song, she sings to a lover: ‘Kiss me hard – someday, you’ll miss this meteor shower in your power, seein’ stars, oh my God….’
Camila has released a statement accompanying the single, shedding light on how the turbulence in her own love life bled into the lyrics.
‘Certain things in our human realm do make me feel like I’m in outer space, and the very rare few times where I’ve had incredible chemistry with someone is one of them,’ the Cinderella actress spilled.
‘Part of that cocktail is also the emotional drama between you and that person, and the chaos and butterflies and nerves and passion,’ she confessed. ‘It’s unsustainable and not peaceful and exhausting, but also, I LUV IT.’
Last year, Camila hit the headlines for rekindling her public relationship with Shawn Mendes – only for news to leak of their breakup six weeks later.
Shawn and Camila originally went public over the summer of 2019 and stayed together through the COVID-19 lockdowns only to split near the end of 2021.
However by last April, rumors were swirling that they were back together – and confirmation came when they were glimpsed kissing at Coachella.

Yet six weeks later in early June, a source claimed in The Sun that they had decided to once again bring the curtain down on the relationship.
‘Shawn and Camila have a lot of history and they tested the waters again after coming back into each other’s lives,’ the insider alleged.
‘But it was just a fling and they’ve put an end to it now. They realized it was probably a mistake to give things another shot. Things ended between them the first time for a reason, after all,’ the source went on.
Shawn and Camila were last seen together while engaging in a public display of affection at a Taylor Swift concert at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium in May.
In late April of last year, a source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Shawn and Camila had been secretly dating for weeks and were ‘seeing where things go.’
The insider added: ‘Having played the field for two years now, they both know now how special what they had was. Not to mention that their sexual chemistry is off the hook. Camila turns Shawn on like no other woman. She always has.’
Shawn and Camila announced their first split in November 2021 but assured fans in an Instagram statement that they were still ‘best friends.’
An insider alleged to E! News that Shawn ‘initiated’ the breakup talk, leaving Camila initially ‘very upset over the split’ until she ‘agreed’ they ought to separate.

Meanwhile a People source said the romance ‘fizzled’ after the coronavirus lockdowns when their busy work schedules resumed.
‘They had this intense relationship last year and spent months together during the lockdown in Miami. They both seemed very happy and looked like they enjoyed having a break from working,’ the insider alleged.
However the dynamic is said to have become ‘different’ with the return of ‘normal life,’ according to the source who spoke to the magazine.
‘They have careers that are taking them in different directions. They went from spending every day together to now not really spending any time together.’
In the intervening time, Shawn was briefly linked to Sabrina Carpenter and Camila to Austin Kevitch, the founder of the dating app Lox Club that advertises itself as being ‘for Jews (and non-Jews) with ridiculously high standards.’
During the Coachella music festival last April, however, Shawn and Camilla were spotted locking lips, declaring in public that they were back on.
