‘I Like This New Look’: Singer Lizzo, 36, Flaunts ‘Skinny’ Figure in Off-Shoulder Dress After Losing ‘So Much Weight’

The 36-year-old artist posed for a mirror selfie, showcasing her natural curls, gold hoop earrings, and a pink phone case. Her outfit highlighted her shoulders and collarbones, exuding elegance and poise.

The post quickly drew enthusiastic responses from social media users. “Clavicles be POPPIN, B [sic],” one enthusiastic fan commented, highlighting the singer’s collarbone. Another admirer chimed in, “I see that hard work paying off.”

Someone praised Lizzo’s fiery transformation, “Collar bone 🔥,” while another supportive fan gushed, “I like this new look on you now but always remain true to yourself ❤️.”

More fans couldn’t help but cheer Lizzo on her apparent fitness journey, “Keep losing the weight…you look FABULOUS 🔥🔥🔥🔥.” One observer went all in, celebrating her progress, “Lost so much weight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

Another declared, “Skinny legend 😍❤️🔥🔥.” Lizzo’s striking Instagram post came shortly after her bold Halloween costume, where she humorously dressed as a weight-loss drug, branding the box with her own name.

The costume featured the singer dressed as a large, box-shaped medication package, adorned with playful slogans such as “FDA approved” and “Diet suppressor.” A measuring tape cinched around her waist added a clever touch.

Leaning into her playful side, Lizzo included empowering messages on her costume promoting self-love and confidence, along with a humorous disclaimer listing uplifting “side effects” like improved mood and energy.

The satirical costume responded to speculation about her weight loss, particularly rumors linking her to the diabetes drug Ozempic.

Since 2020, Lizzo has focused on health over thinness, adopting a high-protein diet and regular workouts. While her weight loss has drawn mixed reactions, she continues to promote body neutrality and self-acceptance.

Social media users have commented on her transformation, with one saying she looks “so skinny” and another remarking she resembles a “different person.”

The discussion around her appearance ties back to Lizzo’s openness about her fitness journey, which she’s shared with fans. In a February 2020 post, the “About Damn Time” singer shared a video of herself jumping rope outdoors and tagged her trainer.

Building on her fitness journey, Lizzo took to TikTok in June of that year to share more of her workout routines, including an exercise bike session. In a voiceover, she addressed misconceptions about her goals.

“Hey, so I’ve been working out consistently for the last five years, and it may come off as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type. I’m working out to have my ideal body type,” she said.

By February 2021, Lizzo opened up about the steady pace of her progress, noting that others often commented on her weight loss—though she hadn’t noticed a significant change herself. “If anyone who’s on a natural weight loss knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world, and you don’t really notice it until you notice it,” she shared.

Despite seeing no movement on the scale, the Michigan native expressed pride in her healthy routine, which included meditative mornings with sound balls, making smoothies, taking wellness shots and vitamins, and hitting the gym for her workouts.

In an October 2022 interview, Lizzo shared her thoughts on body positivity and health, laughing off the pressure to meet public expectations. “I can’t fit into a box!” she said, addressing speculation about how weight loss might affect her music or fanbase.

She emphasized prioritizing health — mentally, spiritually, and physically — without focusing on societal pressures. Explaining her veganism, the star stated, “I’m not a vegan to lose weight; I just feel better when I eat plants.”

Lizzo also reflected on the complexity of food and stress, noting, “It sucks that we associate weight gain with the negative thing that causes it. I feel very lucky because I don’t feel that weight gain is bad anymore. Nor is weight loss — it’s neutral. And food is fun.”

Continuing her candid reflections, Lizzo shared a heartfelt update in a November 2023 Instagram post. Alongside a selfie in a robe, she wrote, “Hi. I’m working… on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my business, and my trust issues with the world… but they are deep now, deeper than they’ve ever been. Xoxo.”

Lizzo’s journey of self-care extended into December 2023, when she shared a TikTok video of herself doing Pilates. Captioning the post, “Help I started Pilates to heal my back now I can’t stop,” she showcased her commitment to physical wellness while adding her signature humor to the mix.

By May 2024, Lizzo continued to prioritize her health, sharing a workout video on social media. Guided by celebrity trainer Corey Calliet, whom she tagged in the post, the clip showed her ongoing dedication to fitness and well-being.

Lizzo made it clear that her workouts aren’t about achieving thinness. She once responded to a TikTok video by @tiffriahgrande, agreeing that not everyone exercises to lose weight.

“Heavy on the not trying to escape fatness,” said the singer, adding that her focus is on health and mental well-being, not thinness, and that she embraces her body’s natural fluctuations.

Lizzo also shared insights into her weight loss journey, addressing rumors and revealing lifestyle changes. In September 2024, she joked about Ozempic speculation, writing, “When you finally get Ozempic allegations after five months of weight training and calorie deficit.”

Her trainer, Calliet, confirmed in October 2024 that Lizzo trained five days a week starting in May and switched from veganism to a high-protein diet, stating she never considered weight-loss drugs.

Lizzo explained, “After tests and research, I found that animal proteins helped me have more energy, lose weight, and helped with my mental fog. This is the diet that’s helped me reach my goals and helped me feel good in my body.”

Adding to her string of stunning appearances, Lizzo amazed fans on Instagram with her latest look. In November 2024, she shared a series of photos featuring her in milkmaid braids and an elegant off-the-shoulder dress, and captioned the post, “Last night I wore milkmaid braids.”

The post sparked mixed reactions from followers, with some noting her weight loss and others defending her fitness journey. Many criticized speculation about her using Ozempic, urging respect for her efforts.

Some expressed skepticism, suggesting Lizzo’s weight loss might not result solely from diet and exercise, while others shared personal weight-loss experiences, such as using walking routines and green smoothie cleanses.

A fan defended Lizzo’s transformation, writing, “She was beautiful before and is beautiful now.” Yet another couldn’t help but wonder, “How’s she so skinny now?” Another observation followed, “She looks like a different person.”

The ongoing discussions around her transformation align with Lizzo’s evolving views on body positivity. While she has long been celebrated as an advocate for embracing curves, her perspective has shifted over time.

“The idea of body positivity, it’s moved away from the antiquated mainstream conception. It’s evolved into body neutrality,” she explained. Reflecting on her personal journey, the music star added, “There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don’t feel completely positive.”

As part of her ongoing advocacy for self-love and inclusivity, Lizzo has been proudly showcasing her physique while promoting her shapewear brand, Yitty. Launched in partnership with Fabletics in 2022, Yitty was designed to cater to people of all sizes and gender identities, emphasizing inclusivity and representation.

Lizzo‘s journey reflects her commitment to authenticity, empowerment, and representation in both her personal life and professional work. From her fitness transformation to her inclusive Yitty brand, she inspires others to embrace their bodies and redefine beauty standards.
