Lizzo showed up and showed out. At the Amazon MGM Studios 2025 Upfront at the Beacon Theatre, the 37-year-old rapper hit the carpet in a tight red corset, a short red skirt, and her signature confidence. The outfit screamed bold, but her noticeably smaller waist stole the spotlight.
From the moment Lizzo stepped out, the internet lit up. She paired the corset with a black tee underneath and finished the look with silver hoop earrings, layered bangles, and icy rings. But it was the way she owned her new body that had everyone talking.
The body transformation of the “Truth Hurts” hitmaker has been front and center lately, and this moment sealed it. Fans and critics alike couldn’t ignore the change.
It Is Not About Being “Skinny Now”
OK Magazine / IG / On “The Breakfast Club,” the star singer shut it all down. She didn’t confirm or deny using anything, but made it clear that her journey was mental before it was physical.
Lizzo’s weight loss hasn’t come without heat. Earlier this year, she announced she had hit her “weight release goal.” But almost immediately, rumors started flying. People claimed she used Ozempic, the diabetes drug now famous in Hollywood weight loss circles.
The rapper started by clearing out the noise, the hate, and the toxic people. Once her head was right, the rest followed.
Lizzo Is Fine With Being “Big”
One thing Lizzo isn’t doing is shrinking for approval. When host Charlamagne Tha God said he didn’t see her as “big” anymore, she corrected him fast. “I am big,” she said. “What we talking about?”
She reminded everyone that she is still over 200 pounds and stands 5-foot-9. Her point? Looking smaller doesn’t erase who she is. Being “big” is not an insult in her world. It is just a fact. And she is not here for body policing, from any side.
Even after losing 16% of her body fat, Lizzo says people are too focused on the wrong thing. “The Internet is like, ‘Oh, Lizzo’s skinny now,’” she said on air. But for her, the journey has never been about getting small. It has been about getting clear.

Fame and Friendships
The star has also been open about how fame hasn’t made life easier. In fact, it has made her circle smaller. Lizzo recently shared that being famous has made it harder to trust people. She says she has few real friends, even as her fame keeps rising.
Lizzo has also been calling out critics who act like she is “changing” too much. She is not here for people who supported her body positivity before, but now criticize her for slimming down. According to Lizzo, you either ride with her or you don’t.
The rapper didn’t just serve one bold look at the Amazon event. After turning heads in red, she stepped out again later in a totally different outfit. This time, it was a black crocheted dress with sharp cutout details.
Her blond hair was pulled back into a half-up, half-down style, giving off low-key glam. She kept her makeup simple and wore black chunky heels. These back-to-back looks made something clear. She is having fun with her style and her body. And the confidence is louder than any outfit.
