A week after discovering Rihanna was a fan, Lizzo rocked a $56 Savage x Fenty strapless bra in a new high-fashion spread captured by Yvan Fabing.
The 31-year-old rapper-singer-flautist covered the October edition of ELLE – hitting newsstands September 26 – where she chatted about depression and self-love.
‘I take self-love very seriously. And I take it seriously because when I was younger, I wanted to change everything about myself,’ Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) explained.
‘I didn’t love who I was. And the reason I didn’t love who I was is because I was told I wasn’t lovable by the media, by [people at] school, by not seeing myself in beauty ads, by not seeing myself in television…by lack of representation. My self-hatred got so bad that I was fantasizing about being other people. But you can’t live your life trying to be somebody else. What’s the point?’
The Detroit-born, Minneapolis-based sensation added: ‘I had an insecurity about what a star looks like, or what a front-person looks like. I felt like I was inadequate; I felt like I wasn’t enough; I felt like people didn’t want to look at me and listen to what I had to say.’
Lizzo also donned designs by Gaultier, Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, and Gucci selected by stylist Anna Trevelyan.
Hairstylist Shelby Swain coiffed the Tempo songstress’ black curly mane and make-up artist Alexx Mayo applied her smoky eye and contoured complexion.
