Anitta Shows Off Her Butt While Getting Body Painted in Xingu, Fans React

Anitta had the honor of getting her body painted by indigenous people during a Kuarup ceremony in Xingu — but it was her sculpted backside that sparked endless online chatter.

The singer, 32, took part in the traditional ceremony in the Xingu Indigenous Territory, Mato Grosso, receiving red leg bands, face paint and intricate head-to-toe designs from members of the Kuikuro community.

“Anitta is an incredibly beautiful woman,” one fan raved on X. “I swear, the most beautiful butt in the world,” a second person remarked. “People, I just wanted to have a butt like that, Lord bless,” a third wrote, while a fourth took another route, claiming, “Anitta has to show her butt, otherwise she goes unnoticed.”

Fans of the pop icon (real name: Larissa de Macedo Machado) couldn’t get enough of the viral clip posted on Saturday, August 16, showing her in a strapless brown thong bodysuit and lace-up sandals, which has since become a trending topic online.

The chart-topping performer’s presence was part of content filmed with TV host Luciano Huck, but it was her genuine engagement with the ritual that also captivated fans and cultural commentators.

“I think it’s worth redefining the use of traditional clothing in Carnival,” another social media user noted after critics sounded off. “Instead of seeing it as cultural appropriation, we can view it as celebration and a way to keep these references alive and valued.”

“Over the past few days we have had the honor and privilege of being welcomed by the Kuikuro and Kayapó peoples at Xingu Indigenous Park,” he wrote, going on to mention a “touching conversation with Cacique Raoni, Brazil’s largest indigenous leader and a global symbol of resistance for the Amazon and defense of its indigenous peoples.”

“We also had the privilege of witnessing the Kuarup, the most important ritual of the Xingu people,” Huck continued. “More than a tribute to the dead, it is a celebration of life, ancestry, and the deep connection to the forest.”
