In a heartfelt Instagram post that has been taking the internet by storm recently, the Grammy-winning "Juice" singer and passionate LGBTQ+ ally bared it all to make a timely and important point about body positivity and learning to love every single part of yourself — even the things you might see as flaws.
"WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON," the 32-year-old wrote in the caption of her nearly-nude Instagram portrait. "To celebrate I wanna give y’all this unedited selfie."
She continued:
"Now normally I would fix my belly and smooth my skin, but baby I wanted show you how I do it au natural. I am excited to be partnering with @dove and the #DoveSelfEsteemProject, which is helping to reverse the negative effects of social media and changing the conversation about beauty standards. Let’s get real y’all."
Lizzo's raw, real, unedited, un-Photoshopped pic is garnering all sorts of praise from friends and fans all over the web, especially since positive body image is still something many people struggle with achieving on a near-daily basis.
"It’s you having no blemishes at ALL," R&B superstar SZA wrote in one comment. "I just admire you fren."
"YES," said another comment from Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness.
