Lizzo celebrated "Swim Day" in style, showcasing an array of swimsuits from her own brand, Yitty, while also highlighting her impressive weight loss transformation. The 36-year-old singer and body positivity advocate took to Instagram to model various fashionable swimwear pieces, demonstrating that summer style can be both chic and inclusive.
In her latest Instagram post, Lizzo sported a vibrant pink string bikini paired with playful green sunglasses, capturing the essence of a fun summer day. This lively ensemble was just one of the many swimsuits she featured, as she also donned a classic white one-piece bathing suit that accentuated her curves and glowing skin. The white suit, in particular, was perfect for showcasing that coveted summer tan, making it an ideal choice for lounging by the pool or taking a dip in the water.
As part of her promotional efforts, Lizzo shared a carousel of high-resolution images from a recent Yitty photoshoot, where she posed confidently around a pool in various swimsuits. Among the standout pieces were a sparkling red bathing suit, a black strappy number, and an aqua cut-out swimming costume. Fans flocked to the comments section, expressing their admiration and support for Lizzo's body positivity message. "You are a freaking inspiration to women everywhere! You look absolutely GOOD AS HELL," one fan gushed, while another remarked, "My body looks a lot like yours. So happy to see it represented."
In addition to her stunning swimsuit collection, Lizzo announced a generous promotion for new members of Yitty, offering an 80% discount. This initiative not only encourages inclusivity but also makes stylish swimwear accessible to a broader audience. With sizes ranging from XS to 6X, Yitty aims to cater to all body types, a mission that Lizzo is deeply passionate about.
During her appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women event in 2024, Lizzo discussed the importance of inclusivity in the fashion industry. "Can I just say something? How cool it is to finally be in a place where we can say inclusive shapewear is a crowded category because it was not," she stated. Lizzo's journey to create Yitty stemmed from her own experiences with body image and fashion. "I’ve been a big girl my entire life. As long as I have been able to buy clothes, I’ve lived in the intersection of ‘the things that I want don’t fit me’ and ‘the things that fit me I don’t want,’" she explained.
Lizzo's commitment to body positivity and inclusivity has not only inspired her fans but also influenced other brands to expand their size ranges. Reflecting on her past experiences, she recalled a time when shapewear options were limited to just a few colors and sizes. "I remember—this was around 2015—I was in the store and I was looking around in the shapewear section and it was in disarray. [...] There were three colors: jet black, stark white and off-pink. Nobody is that color, and you’d be lucky if you got an XXL. I was like ‘Somebody has to do something about this.’ And I was like ‘I guess it's gotta be me.’"
Fans have applauded Lizzo for her recent weight loss, which she attributes to a combination of dieting and intense workouts. Earlier this year, she revealed that she had lost around 16% of her body fat and reduced her body mass by 10.5. In a heartfelt social media post in January 2025, Lizzo shared her excitement about reaching her weight release goal, stating, "Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!"
The singer's transformation has sparked conversations about body image and acceptance, with many fans expressing their pride in her journey. "Everyone is talking about her body, but she seems so much happier, she is glowing," one fan noted. Another added, "She looks amazing—she’s clearly put in the work, and it’s paying off. You can see she’s getting healthier, stronger, and more confident. She should be so proud of herself. Bravo to her—keep going, girl!"
Lizzo's influence extends beyond her music and fashion line; she is a beacon of hope for many who struggle with body image issues. Her message is clear: everyone deserves to feel beautiful and confident, regardless of their size. As she continues to break barriers in the fashion industry, Lizzo remains a powerful advocate for body positivity, proving that style should be inclusive and accessible.
As summer approaches, Lizzo's Yitty brand is poised to make a significant impact in the swimwear market, offering fashionable options for all body types. With her infectious energy and commitment to inclusivity, Lizzo is not just changing the conversation around body image; she’s redefining it. Her journey serves as an inspiration, reminding us all that confidence comes from within, and that everyone deserves to feel good in their own skin.
