She's never been one to shy away from trying new things. 

And Marie Osmond is encouraging other women to embrace change as they get older.

In the new issue of First For Women, the 57-year-old performer shares her strategy for maintaining confidence while aging. 

Her interview comes just days after she shot down rumors she offered to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday

'The biggest mistake women make as they get older is they get set in a look in their 40s,' Marie tells the magazine. 

She continued: 'They get to a point where they say, "This is my haircut. This is how I put on my mascara. This is the eye shadow I use." But I think you have to keep shaking it up.'

She thinks women should try something new and even shares her own attempts to get outside her comfort zone:

'I just had my nails pointed—the stiletto nails. I swore I would never have them, but I pushed myself out of the box and said, "I want to stay on trend and stay with what is happening." And I love them. They are really fun and I think they're actually stronger than the square nails.'

She's seen showing off her new pointed nails with her hand on her tiny waist.

The performer, who lost 50 pounds and was a spokesperson for Nutrisystem, smiled broadly as her long, dark hair fell straight around her shoulders.

'There are things I'm learning now that I could not have learned when I was in my 20s or 30s, and that's a part of just loving this experience of life,' says the performer (pictured in April)

As far as Trump, she was attacked on social media for being linked to the President elect.

The Donnie & Marie star took to Twitter last Thursday to respond to rumors she wanted to perform at the upcoming inauguration to welcome Trump to the White House.

'Many of you have seen various stories saying that I volunteered or that I am performing at the inauguration. So let me be clear!' Osmond said.

'I had no intention of performing at this inauguration, no matter who won!

'I have performed for several presidents, done USO tours, and my charity, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals takes children to the White House to visit the President every year - regardless of who the sitting President is.

'I love this great country.' 

'I had no intention of performing at this inauguration, no matter who won,' she insisted in her response

The singer has performed at several inauguration ceremonies, including Ronald Reagan's in 1981 with her brother Donny.

The 57-year-old recently told Yahoo Finance that America needs to 'unite'.

'I think when it comes to our country we need to unite,' she said.

She added: 'I think we should all support our president whether we're happy or sad. This is America.'
