Lizzo has been attracting attention with her striking transformation. She has proudly displayed her slimmer figure on Instagram while promoting her Yitty swimwear collection.
In April, the singer spoke openly about her “intentional weight release journey.” She emphasized that she remains against fatphobia and reminded fans that personal growth often happens away from public view.
Recently, Lizzo addressed critics who claimed she had become “skinny.” She clarified that she still considers herself “big” and said she weighs well over 200 pounds.
On Friday, Lizzo shared new photos with her 11 million Instagram followers, showing off her noticeably slimmer body. She used the opportunity to highlight her fashion brand, Yitty, featuring bold swimwear styles.
In one post, she wore a sparkling blue bikini that showcased her changed physique. She paired it with denim shorts and lace-up heels. In the caption, she wrote, “@YITTY SWIM IS 60% OFF ALL WEEKEND.”
In another colorful look, Lizzo layered a yellow patterned bikini over the blue one. She completed the outfit with a striking platinum blonde wig. “YITTY GRRRL SUMMER HAS BEGUN,” she said confidently.
Yitty is Lizzo’s brand offering intimates, lounge, and shapewear in sizes XS to 6X. Since launching in April 2022, the brand has gained over 700,000 followers.
To keep fans engaged, Lizzo also shared a video of herself rapping for Memorial Day weekend, reminding many why she is considered a rapper.
Since starting her weight release journey, some fans have felt conflicted due to her previous body positivity statements. Critics have accused her of slimming down to fit the music industry’s expectations.
However, Lizzo recently pushed back against these claims during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club.” She said she is still “big” and explained her “weight release” journey.
“I think I had to start with cleaning out my mind and my energy,” Lizzo said. “I released a lot of negativity. When my weight started to change, it began in my face first, then my body followed. I feel amazing.”
When host Charlamagne Tha God said he no longer considers her “big,” Lizzo responded firmly, “I am big. What are we talking about? Baby, I’m big.”
She added, “The Internet says, ‘Oh, Lizzo’s skinny now,’ but I’m well over 200 pounds. I’m 5-foot-9 and wear double-numbered pants.”
On Thursday, Lizzo sparked online buzz with a new look that reminded fans of Beyoncé. She posted a series of photos featuring a platinum blonde lace-front wig styled in old Hollywood glamour. She captioned it, “Just a girl & her blonde era.”
She even shared a side-by-side image of Beyoncé to highlight their similar radiant style, flawless makeup, and soft waves.
Fans praised Lizzo’s new look. One wrote, “These pictures give me life. Pressing toward my weight loss journey.” Another said, “I thought it was Bey when I first saw the photo. I love my divas.” A third supporter commented, “Way to go Lizzo, looking great. Stay blessed and keep up the amazing work.”
Earlier this year, Lizzo surprised fans at the Met Gala with her new “blonde era” style. She swapped her usual dark hair for a platinum blonde shoulder-length wig, styled in soft waves by hairstylist Jstayready.
Her look included a dramatic smoky eye, bold lip, and a stunning black-and-white Christian Siriano gown. Siriano revealed that the dress was crafted in just three days with no stretch in the fabric and about 200 seams. He said celebrating Lizzo’s curves was very important.
Fans first noticed Lizzo’s slimmer appearance when she released “Love In Real Life,” the lead single from her upcoming album.
In April, Lizzo talked about her transformation on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast. She described it as an “intentional weight release journey” that took place slowly over a year and a half. She said many people did not notice the gradual changes.
Despite her changing appearance, Lizzo said her values remain the same. She stands firmly against fatphobia and reminded everyone that not all personal struggles are visible online.
