When her iconic band the Fugees took the stage at London's O2 on Monday evening, Lauryn Hill looked a world away from her '90s heyday.
The 49-year-old singer sported colorful beaded dreadlocks for the performance with a dramatic stage ensemble.
Lauryn looked sensational in a fur coat, which she layered over trousers and a white shirt, adding extra sparkle with a bejeweled blouse.
She wore a gold neck ring while flaunting her age-defying features with colorful makeup.
The songstress performed a full set of the hip hop group's most popular hits and exuded confidence as she strutted her stuff on stage.

Formed by Lauryn, Brass Michael and Wyclef Jean, the Fugees rose to stardom in the 1990s. Released only two albums before breaking up in 1997
It comes after the group shocked fans by canceling their US tour in August, just three days before their debut.
He shared the reason a day after fans were shocked to find emails in their inboxes announcing concert cancellations and refunds.
In his statement, Hill attributed the cancellation to low ticket sales.
However, he blamed the lackluster sales not as a result of fan apathy, but rather the 'sensationalism' of the media and 'clickbait headlines'.
'The decision has been made with difficulty to pull our upcoming North American tour dates,' he wrote, 'while shows in the UK and Europe are moving forward as planned.'
While the Lauryn Hill singer's Miseducation has had a reputation over the years for canceling shows and having late start times, she attributed the latest cancellations to a medical issue.
'Last year, I faced an injury so I had to reschedule some of my shows,' he explained. Unfortunately, some media's penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines has created a story that has affected ticket sales for the North American leg of the tour.

(LR) Formed by Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras Michel Fugees rose to stardom in the 1990s but only released two albums before they broke up in 1997 (pictured 1996).
'The faith and belief I have in my pursuits and my commitment to my art seems to be overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal,' he added.
Demand for the UK and European shows may have been high due to the lack of demand, as Hill reminded his fans that people in those regions had 'not only yet to see a misguided academic anniversary, but also the Fugees performing together over 25'. Years!'
Hill insisted that 'no one' was 'more disappointed not to be able to perform' than he was, as he praised the experience of performing as a deep exchange of energy and emotion that excited me every time.
“Every show is a part of my expression and a testament to our connection and shared love of music,” he continued.
This comes after he shocked fans by canceling his US tour in August, three days before the first show.
In his statement, Hill attributed the cancellation to low ticket sales (the band took the stage in November).
'Know that I am grateful not only to those who appreciate and support my art, but to fight all forms of opposition to bring together experiences that mean something to all of us,' Hill wrote. 'I love bringing these shows to you!'
After thanking fans for their understanding and reiterating that a UK and European tour will begin in October, Hill added that he would be back 'full force' with the Fujis for future North American shows.
For the third year in a row, the group canceled tour dates, leaving fans heartbroken.
The reunion tour was originally announced for 2021, but was postponed before being canceled in January 2022 due to Covid conditions.
Lauryn's last major performance was at the BET Awards in June.
