Avril Lavigne started off as the punk rock rebel who was the apple in every mother’s eye. Tired of the relentless overuse of sex and the skimpy outfits and wild habits of wayward pop stars and celebrities like Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan, parents were all too eager to embrace the tomboy-esque persona of Avril Lavigne. That is until she got sexy. As she’s matured, which is often the case as teenagers grow out of their rebellion stage, Lavigne has donned a prissier image, electing for revealing dresses and body-clinging attire rather than the lace up Doc Martins and baggy cargo pants. With the ultra-short skirts and the high heeled red shoes comes scorn from parents who were blissfully hopeful that Lavigne would remain that punky teenager well into her fifties. It was about time for a reality check.

Recently the Malaysian authorities got a bit of a wake up call when they learned of Lavigne’s journey to perform there. Initially the authorities canceled the concert out of concerns that the experience would be too sexy. Apparently the decision has been reversed, with Avril Lavigne getting the go ahead for her “too hot” concert. Part of the initial concern revolved around the traditions of the Malaysian culture, which dictates that certain apparel and behavioral acts are not in accordance with the rules the culture and the religion. Another concern was that the concert is scheduled to be held two days before the country’s independence day and potentially could disrupt the celebrations. But Lavigne fans in the region need not fear. The show will go on and you can decide for yourself whether it is all to hot to be seen in public when you get your own pair of Avril Lavigne tickets.

Avril Lavigne burst on to the music scene with her debut album, Let Go which was released in 2002. She was known for her punk-rocker style and her laid back attire, a far cry from the pop-infested nature of the music world today. Let Go was an immediate success among fans and critics and spawned such notable hits as “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi” and “I’m With You.” Lavigne was able to relate to her fans, offering them a much needed dose of punk rock into a music world that has often been criticized as being inflated with too much hip hop and pop music. Lavigne followed up her debut appearance with Under My Skin and The Best Damn Thing, both records did well internationally and before long, Lavigne had established a dedicated following of fans.

As Lavigne has grown up, the sound of her music has changed and her appearance has developed more of a womanly appeal. But underneath, many of her fans argue, she is still the same Avril Lavigne, more comfortable in those trusty Doc Martins than a pair of stiletto heels any day. Malaysia has paved the way for Avril’s show and no matter what her present style she is likely to charm even her most skeptic critics.

‘Singer Avril Lavigne, famed for her baggy Sk8ter Boi look, has revealed that she has grown up style-wise.

She told StyleList: “I feel like my style has evolved since I was 17 years old and I’m 25 now. I’ve changed fashion-wise, which is normal to do.
