Lizzo, the renowned rapper, singer, and flautist, made headlines the day after Valentine’s Day when she confidently showcased her stunning 5ft10in figure in black lace lingerie from her own shapewear brand, Yitty. The 35-year-old artist was photographed modeling her company’s ‘Smoothing Lace Plunge Bralette’ priced at $64.95 and ‘Smoothing Lace Thong’ priced at $29.95, both available in a wide range of sizes from XS to 6X.
The images, shared on her Instagram account, displayed Lizzo exuding confidence and sensuality, a true reflection of her brand’s ethos of body positivity and self-love
In the photoshoot, Lizzo, born Melissa Jefferson, sported ‘fake’ green contact lenses, adding a playful touch to her look. However, her curly updo, styled by renowned hair artist Bowie ‘Nunie’ Stoner, showcased her ‘real hair,’ emphasizing authenticity in her presentation. Makeup artist Alexx Mayo complemented her ensemble with false lashes, defined brows, pink blush, and overlined red lips, enhancing her natural beauty.
Yitty, co-created by Lizzo and Kristen Dykstra two years ago in collaboration with Kate Hudson’s activewear brand Fabletics, has been celebrated for its inclusive sizing and empowering message. The brand aims to redefine beauty standards and promote self-confidence among women of all shapes and sizes.
Despite her professional success, Lizzo has faced challenges in her personal life, including legal battles and controversies. Recently, LASC Judge Mark H. Epstein denied her motion to dismiss a sexual, religious, and racial harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former backup dancers. This decision means that Lizzo will have to undergo a full-blown jury trial at Santa Monica Courthouse, adding to the legal woes she faces from a similar lawsuit filed by her former tour costume designer, Asha Daniels.
Moreover, Lizzo’s involvement in an altercation with filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison during the filming of her documentary further added to her public scrutiny. Allison, who accused Lizzo of being ‘arrogant, self-centered, and unkind,’ decided to quit directing the project after just two weeks due to what she described as disrespectful treatment.
Despite these challenges, Lizzo continues to inspire millions of fans worldwide with her music and message of self-love. Her rare public appearances, including presenting a Grammy Award and attending high-profile events like the Super Bowl, demonstrate her resilience and determination to thrive in the face of adversity.
On a personal note, Lizzo’s romantic life has also been subject to speculation, especially after her breakup with comedian boyfriend Myke Wright. Although she has not been pictured with Wright since their split, Lizzo remains focused on her career and promoting positivity through her music and brand.
In conclusion, Lizzo’s recent lingerie photoshoot not only showcased her beauty and confidence but also highlighted the mission behind her brand, Yitty. Despite facing challenges in both her personal and professional life, Lizzo remains a beacon of empowerment for women everywhere, inspiring them to embrace their uniqueness and celebrate their bodies. With her unwavering spirit and commitment to authenticity, Lizzo continues to leave a lasting impact on the music industry and beyond.
