Xuxa Meneghel's 'O Último Voo da Nave' tour ignites costume debate, family praise and social‑media feud

Brazilian TV icon Xuxa Meneghel continues her farewell tour "O Último Voo da Nave" across the country. The show’s opening costume – a low‑cut, glittering bodysuit – sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with some users calling it inappropriate for a former children’s presenter. Xuxa responded lightly, liking a video that mocked the controversy, while veteran presenter Mara Maravilha defended herself against accusations of envy, posting a humorous video with her therapist.

The tour also prompted emotional tributes from Xuxa’s daughter, Sasha Meneghel, who posted an open letter praising her mother’s dedication and joking about the viral “virilha” moment. Friends such as actress Lúcia Veríssimo publicly defended Xuxa, denouncing critics as jealous. In an interview, Xuxa revealed she had briefly considered leaving Brazil because of rising hateful rhetoric, but decided to stay and urged those spreading prejudice to disappear.

Additional dates were announced, including a February 27 show at Nubank Parque in São Paulo, confirming the tour’s continued momentum despite the surrounding debate.
