Lizzo is showing off her figure in her first post of 2026.
In a Saturday, January 3, Instagram carousel, Lizzo, 37, posed for the camera while rocking a white bikini, blue manicure and rings. The swimwear appeared to be the Swim Triangle Bikini Top and Swim Luxe Side Tie Thong Bikini from her brand, Yitti.
In another snap, Lizzo (real name Melissa Jefferson) added a colorful boatneck bodysuit from Pucci and a pair of earrings with white sunglasses. She paired the outfit pics with her song “DITTO.”
“YITTY & a Pucci fit… nastyyyyy 😜,” she captioned the post, which received messages from several celebrities. “😍,” Paris Hilton shared, while Sza wrote, “YEAAAAA.”
Lizzo, who has been candid about her weight loss journey, shared in November that she was “deeply suicidal” before prioritizing her health.
“I started losing weight in the fall of 2023. I was severely depressed. I had been the subject of vicious scandal, and it felt like the whole world turned its back on me. I became deeply suicidal,” she wrote via Substack. “I cut off all my loved ones.”
After the “scandal” — referring to three of her former backup dancers filing a lawsuit against her in 2023 — Lizzo claimed that she “couldn’t trust anyone.” (In court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time, the group sued Lizzo for sexual and religious harassment, disability discrimination, creating a hostile work environment and more. She has denied their allegations.)
“I found that I had lost some weight in that process, but it wasn’t as significant as it is now. Because it wasn’t intentional,” she noted, adding that she changed her mindset and saw her weight loss as a pound “released” and not “lost.”
One month later, she took to Instagram to show off her bikini body and clap back at body-shamers — while rocking a bright yellow swimsuit with a black snakeskin print.
“Today I saw a fat joke about me — in 2025 — and it was viral. It was a dumb joke and they were just laughing at me because I’m fat,” she wrote. “Let me be a reminder to everyone to NEVER let anyone shame you for what you choose to do with your body. Because when you’re big they talk s***, when you’re small they talk s***. Your body will never be good enough for them because it’s not FOR them. It’s for you.”
Lizzo continued, “If I get a BBL mind ur business , if lose 100lbs mind ur business, if I gain every pound back and then some… mind ur f***ing business. Anyways.. my fat ass stays living with a paid off mortgage in yall bitches heads. 🥱.”
Lizzo’s friends and followers shared messages of support in the comments section.
“U look insanely amazing 😍 ppl don’t want to see anyone doing good these days 🙌,” Trisha Paytas wrote, while one of her followers added, “Word! Also me: damnnnnn she looks amazing! (All the time).” Another commented, “Tell em sis! You are beautiful in every way, inside and out. ❤️🔥👏🏾.”
