Victoria’s Secret’s campaigns have featured many models since that time, including Megan Rapinoe (LGBT activist and soccer player), and Valentina Sampaio (transgender Brazilian model). Many of the new campaigns feature multiple models who are plus-sized.

Lizzo has also been a leader in the body positivity movement and body acceptance. The Detroit-born singer, who is plus-sized, said that she does not consider a person’s weight to be a personal issue. 

“I’m working out to have my ideal body type and you know what type it is? None of your f***ing business because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job, and I stay on my job,” The singer asserted in 2020.

“So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald’s, or work out or not work out, how about you look at your own f***ing self and worry about your own g** damn body because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside,” Elle continued.

“Health is also what happens on the inside and a lot of ya’ll need to do a f***ing cleanse for your insides,” Lizzo spoke at the time.
