Lizzo delivers impassioned speech supporting trans women at Pride performance
Lizzo delivered an impassioned speech supporting black trans women during her headlining concert at OUTLOUD's LGBTQIA+ Pride festival in West Hollywood Park on Saturday night. 'This is dedicated to you and more importantly the black trans women who, without their fight, we would not be able to celebrate today,' the 37-year-old rapper-singer-flautist said from the main stage. 'And we still in some s***, right? But hopefully one day, beyond this motherf***ing rainbow bi***, we will see a place where we no longer have to fight to exist. This is for you.' Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) then performed a stripped down version of the 1939 Wizard of Oz anthem Over the Rainbow with a piano accompanist.

Hairstylist Jared Henderson coiffed Lizzo's voluminous mane and make-up artist Alexx Mayo fully contoured her complexion for the event. On Sunday, the Still Bad singer - who boasts 44.3M social media followers - further lauded the trans community for fighting 'against the systems that tried to erase them.' 'In honor of that fight, we have to continue to take a stand against that very same system that threatens our rights to bodily autonomy and liberation. We ain't free [until we're] all free,' Lizzo noted. The Detroit-born, Houston-raised star then showcased her famously full 5ft10in figure wearing nothing more than a black Yitty bra and panty set after reaching her weight-loss goal on January 16. At the time, Lizzo lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5 and lost 16% of her body fat, but she refuses to reveal how many pounds she's lost since 2023. 'If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math,' the Love in Real Life belter told The Jason Lee Show last week. 'I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, "Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!" Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me.'

The Emmy-winning producer will eventually have to face her former back-up dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez - at a jury trial in Santa Monica Courthouse due to their sexual, religious, and racial harassment lawsuit. Lizzo has vehemently denied all of their allegations.

Lizzo Puts Her Extreme Weight Loss On Display As She Declares 'Summer Has Begun'
has been turning heads with her striking transformation, proudly showcasing her slimmer figure while promoting her Yitty swimwear line on Instagram. In April, the singer opened up about her 'intentional weight release journey,' stressing her continued stance against fatphobia and reminding fans that personal growth often happens beyond the spotlight. Lizzo also recently called out critics who claimed she had become "skinny," noting that she is still "big" as she is "well over 200 pounds." On Friday, Lizzo proudly flaunted her noticeably slimmer figure as she treated her 11 million Instagram followers to new sizzling snaps. The singer used the moment to spotlight her fashion line, Yitty, while showing off bold swimwear styles. In one post, she rocked a sparkling blue bikini that highlighted her transformed physique, pairing it with denim shorts and lace-up heels. '@YITTY SWIM IS 60% OFF ALL WEEKEND,' she teased in the caption. In another vibrant look, Lizzo layered a yellow patterned bikini over the blue one and completed the ensemble with a striking platinum blonde wig. 'YITTY GRRRL SUMMER HAS BEGUN,' she declared with confidence. Her brand, Yitty, is positioned as 'a new era of Intimates, lounge, and shapewear for sizes XS to 6X.' Since its debut in April 2022, the brand has seen impressive growth, amassing a following of over 700,000 fans. To hit things up further, Lizzo proved to fans why she is considered a rapper by many, as she dropped a sizzling video of herself rapping for Memorial Day weekend. Since the start of her weight loss journey, some of Lizzo's fans have felt somewhat betrayed due to the singer's past remarks about body positivity. Critics have also claimed that Lizzo has become "skinny" to fit the image of what the music industry seemingly demands from a pop star like her. However, during a recent appearance on "The Breakfast Club," the singer slammed critics who say she's "skinny now," noting that she's "big." On the show, she opened up about her "weight release" journey, emphasizing that she is still a "big" girl. "I think I had to start with cleaning out my mind and my energy and clearing out all of the negativity around me. And I feel like I released so much I was holding on," Lizzo said. "I do call it a weight release because [when] it started, I got snatched here first. And then my body just followed suit, so I do feel amazing." She also pushed back when Charlamagne Tha God said he doesn't consider her "big" anymore. "I am big," she said. "What we talking about? Baby, I'm big." "The Internet is like, 'Oh, Lizzo's skinny now,'" Lizzo noted. "I am well over 200 pounds, do you know what I'm saying? I'm 5-foot-9. I got double-numbered pants on now." On Thursday, Lizzo sparked buzz online after unveiling a striking new look with fans doing double-takes, due to her resemblance to Beyoncé. In a carousel of images, the 'About Damn Time' hitmaker channeled old Hollywood glam with a sleek, platinum blonde lace-front wig. "Just a girl & her blonde era," she captioned the post. She even included a side-by-side photo of Beyoncé to emphasize the likeness, noting their shared radiant glam, flawless makeup, and icy waves cascading around their faces. Fans flooded the comments with praise, with one writing, "These pictures are giving me life. Pressing towards my weight loss journey.' Another chimed in, 'I swear, the moment I saw the photo, I thought it was Bey. I love my divas.' A third supporter added, 'Way to go Lizzo, looking great, hopefully feeling better, stay blessed, keep up the amazing work.' Lizzo previously surprised fans at this year's Met Gala by debuting her striking 'blonde era' look, opting for a bold last-minute hairstyle switch. She traded her usual dark locks for a platinum blonde, shoulder-length wig styled in soft waves, crafted by hairstylist Jstayready using Red by Kiss products and Vivace by Kiss extensions. Complementing her hair, Lizzo wore a dramatic smoky eye and bold lip, paired with a stunning black-and-white Christian Siriano gown. According to designer Christian Siriano, Lizzo's Met Gala ensemble came together in a whirlwind three-day sprint. He revealed to a news outlet that there was 'not an ounce of stretch in anything in this fabric and probably 200 seams.' Siriano emphasized the care and intention behind the look, noting that 'celebrating [Lizzo's] curves was really important.' Earlier this year, fans were taken aback by Lizzo's noticeably slimmer appearance when she dropped 'Love In Real Life,' the lead single from her upcoming album. By April, the singer opened up about her transformation on Jay Shetty's 'On Purpose' podcast, describing it as a 'weight release journey.' 'I have been on an intentional weight release journey,' she said. 'I put it on the internet. I posted about it, and I think over the last year and a half, as I've been doing it, my body has been changing — very slowly — but I don't think people were paying attention.' Despite the shift in appearance, Lizzo emphasized her stance remains the same: 'I was still very anti-fatphobia on this entire journey. But I think that we gotta remember: everybody's not seeing your sh-t all the time, everybody's not seeing every video you post, everybody's not privy to what you're going through.'

Lizzo stuns with weight loss transformation dancing to WHIM WHAMIEE remix and launching Yitty summer line
Lizzo is showing off her ongoing physical transformation in style. On May 24, the 37-year-old singer shared two Instagram videos celebrating the start of summer, dancing in her backyard while modeling colorful bikinis from her Yitty shapewear line. In one post, Lizzo lip-synced to Pluto and YK Niece's track 'WHIM WHAMIEE,' featuring the lyrics, 'I've been fat, I've been skinny / B------ still ain't f------ with me.' In the other, she wrote, 'YITTY GRRRL SUMMER HAS BEGUN 😈,' showing off Yitty's swim triangle bikini top in yellow and cobalt shimmer styles. Lizzo's swimsuit showcase also highlighted the continued results of her health journey. In January 2025, she revealed she had lowered her body mass index by 10.5 and reduced her body fat by 16%. In a TikTok Live from April, she spoke candidly about her approach, emphasizing a mindful relationship with food and physical activity. 'I avoid sugary stuff in the morning and opt for something savory, like almond butter and toast,' she shared. 'Everybody's body is different. Find what works for you.' Lizzo also noted that the principle of 'calories in versus calories out' remains a consistent scientific foundation for weight management. Back in March 2024, Lizzo told The New York Times that she aims to be methodical and consistent with her routine. 'There is never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing Pilates,' she said. Addressing critics of her transformation, she firmly stated, 'My body is nobody's business.' With her confident posts and unfiltered commentary, Lizzo continues to advocate for self-love while redefining beauty standards on her own terms.

Lizzo continues to show off her extreme weight loss in two tiny bikinis
Lizzo once again showcased her extreme weight loss as she shared bikini-clad content with her 11 million followers. The shrinking bombshell — who looked shockingly similar to Beyoncé in a previous post — plugged her brand Yitty while modeling new swimsuits. One look was a shimmery, solid blue bikini that accentuated the star's recent dramatic weight loss.
