Lizzo shows off weight loss in two-piece bikini
Singer Lizzo has stripped down to a two-piece bikini to show off her dramatic weight loss in a new video.
The singer modelled a number of different underwear and shapewear outfits for a video promoting her brand, Yitty.
An outspoken body positivity advocate, Lizzo recently shared publicly that she'd hit her 'goal weight,' after embarking on a health kick at the start of 2024.
'Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven't seen this number since 2014,' she shared on social media.
She continued, 'Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!'
An accompanying graphic showed that she had lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and had lost 16% of her body fat since starting her weight loss journey in January of last year.
In a recent TikTok live, Lizzo went into detail about her eating habits and how she stays in 'calorie deficit' while still enjoying sweet treats.
'I do something sweet. It's gotta be with some sort of like carb. I'll have like almond butter and toast. So, everybody's body is different. Find out what works for you,' she told her followers.
And despite the rumours – and many a sudden celeb slim-down coinciding with the drug's rise in popularity – Lizzo has insisted that Ozempic had nothing to do with her weight loss journey.
'When you finally get Ozempic allegations after 5 months of weight training and calorie deficit,' she wrote on social media last year.
She said at the time that rumours she'd been using the drug were 'like a reward' after spending so much time working out and improving her diet.
Lizzo might be in the best shape of her life, but her career fortunes have taken a hit in recent months, with her new music failing to make an impact.
Despite arriving with glossy, big budget music videos, recent singles Love in Real Life and Still Bad have failed to chart anywhere – a brutal result for an artist who enjoyed a string of multi-platinum smashes after her breakthrough single Truth Hurts belatedly took off in 2019, two years after its original release.

From mob wife to MAGA woman: TikTok trends are losing steam
As the latest deadline for TikTok to be sold or banned in the US approaches, we'll find out next month whether the app will continue to be a fixture on American phones or not. A decline in fashion fads conceived by TikTok creators (think 'cowboy core', 'office siren' and ' coastal grandma ') means consumers and retailers won't be as affected as they would have been a year or so ago, when such viral 'aesthetics' peaked on the video-sharing platform. But brands have their work cut out in responding to what's taken over since: lifestyle trends amplifying political, social and economic influences. After all, it's much harder to monetise 'recession core', the 'MAGA woman' look and 'underconsumption'. Super-speedy TikTok trends are best exemplified by the viral 'mob wife' look from early last year, characterised by big fur coats and equally voluminous hair. Retailers responded by stocking more animal print and bold lipstick. This was one of many fleeting fashions that emerged in the wake of the pandemic when TikTok really took off, and dressing for short videos replaced IRL outfits. It's not easy keeping up with so many flash-in-the-pan fads, from 'tomato girl' to 'pilates princess', particularly as the economy darkens. Fatigue has set in and consumers are now prioritising their personal style over every new 'core' and trend. That's trickier for brands to be part of but they are tapping in – for example, through bag charms, which fashion and luxury has embraced, and Labubu dolls, playing into the need to express one's identity through customisation. TikTok and Pinterest, the photo-pinning app, are also making valiant attempts to continue to shape fashion. 'Castlecore' and 'medievalcore' are among the few aesthetics to break through recently, though they reflect the broader 'pop girl' phenomenon in culture as they're inspired by singer Chappell Roan's adoption of chain-mail and headwear. (They also demonstrate, as Kayla Marci, who writes the Haute Garbage Substack, told me, that Gen Z's nostalgia has cycled through recent decades and is reaching ever further back.) We haven't really had a fashion narrative that's broken into the mainstream since mob wife. Yet of the more than 100 micro-trends tracked by market-intelligence company Trendalytics across social media, online search and e-commerce, 60 per cent are declining while only 20 per cent are gaining traction. Even though US users still spend more time per day on TikTok than Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, according to Sensor Tower, the moment when the platform became the epicentre of trend forecasting, with users naming new aesthetics at a frenetic pace, has passed. We haven't really had a fashion narrative that's broken into the mainstream since mob wife.

Ed Sheeran: Global English pop star teases return to Australia for ‘Start of 2026' in casual TikTok comment
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has casually confirmed that his much-anticipated return to Australia will take place in early 2026, three years on from his last run of stadium shows. In May, the globetrotting 34-year-old launched The Mathematics Tour in Europe, and has been leaving traces of his travel antics on TikTok as fans beg for the star to appear in their location. Dropping his most recent adventures in Madrid to the platform, the Lego House hitmaker responded to one particular comment regarding his plans to return Down Under. 'How does coming back to Australia soon sound to you?' the fan asked. Nonchalantly, Sheeran responded, 'Start of 2026'. PerthNow reached out to the star's management, who preferred not to double-down on the announcement but hinted at potential news later in the year. 'We aren't in the habit of pre-announcing announcements — but there will be news on our plans for 26 later this summer,' a representative for Sheeran said. Remarkably, the four-time Grammy winner's most recent Australian campaign in 2023 featured an earlier version of The Mathematics Tour — which launched globally in Dublin in April 2022. The former busker's singular Perth gig at Optus Stadium became the highest ticketed event in WA's history, with more than 70,000 fans flooding the precinct to hear his signature sound. Written as '+–=÷×', the same name was given to a compilation album Sheeran released in September 2024, and follows a theme of mathematical numbers and figures from previous works. On social media, the star has been met with encouragement from Aussies as they anticipate his next venture to their country. Pleas of 'Can't wait to see you in Australia' and 'We miss you' are a common theme. Sheeran's next album — titled Play — is set for release on September 12, which would likely usher in a new tour campaign and chapter in the star's 15-year professional career. Releasing tracks Azizam and Old Phone in recent months, the project marks the father of two's eighth studio album. With iconic songs Shape of You, Perfect, and Photograph all boasting in excess of two billion streams respectively on Spotify, Sheeran is the platform's third-most followed global artist with 90 million monthly listeners. The singer has collaborated with the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Beyonce, punctuating his status as a pioneer of the pop genre.
