Lizzo

Lizzo

When it comes to body-positivity movement, Lizzo has always been a leader. She doesn't just voice her opinion in interviews and on social media posts, but she also sets an example through her sartorial picks. Back in 2019 when trolls targetted her for twerking in her thong, she went LIVE on Instagram and said, "Never ever let somebody stop you or shame you from being yourself," while adding, "This is who I’ve always been. I don’t ever want to censor myself because I’m suddenly famous, and I don’t want to censor myself because everyone’s looking at me now. I’m not going to quiet myself. I’m not going to shrink myself because somebody thinks that I’m not sexy to them."

Supermodel Ashley Graham is a body positivity icon and she has often fought for size inclusivity in fashion. She refuses to get her photos retouched or edited and that's just one of the ways she encourages people to be comfortable in every shape and size. Her 2015 TedxTalk went viral for all the right reasons. She spoke embracing her rolls, curves, and even cellulite in the viral clip.

Back in 2019, Mindy shared a series of photos of herself donning two-piece bathing suits. She shared the post to prove that every body is a bikini body and one shouldn't shy away from wearing sultry clothing just because of their rolls and bulges. “IDK who needs to hear this but… WEAR A BIKINI IF YOU WANT TO WEAR A BIKINI. You don’t have to be a size 0. Swipe for my storytime and have a great summer,” her post read.

Demi Lovato's battle with bulimia was not an easy one, and over the years, the singer entered a treatment facility at the age of 18 to address her eating and other problems. 

''I'd be lying if I said there weren't days where I just want to stay in bed all day because I'm ashamed of my body," she told People. "It's a struggle I'll probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. But I have so much life to live; I don't want to waste it."
