Lizzo posts unedited naked selfie in stand against unrealistic beauty standards

Lizzo has posted a nude selfie in a bid to take a stand against unrealistic beauty standards.

The "Good as Hell" singer posted the candid picture - which was free from edits and filters - on Instagram to send her 10.2 million followers a very important message.

She captioned the raw post: "Let’s get real y’all.

"WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON," making reference to her zodiac sign, adding: "To celebrate I wanna give y'all this unedited selfie.

"Now normally I would fix my belly and smooth my skin but baby I wanted [to] show u how I do it au natural."

She's been applauded by fans (lizzobeeating/Instagram)

Lizzo explained how she is partnering with beauty brand Dove as part of its self-esteem project - "which is helping to reverse the negative effects of social media and changing the conversation about beauty standards."

The aim behind the project is to help girls to realise their full potential by raising their self-esteem.

Fans and famous friends flooded the star with compliments on the movement.

One person said: "Now every time I see my tummy stretch marks I’m going to smile and think, I’m matching with Lizzo."

Another added: "LOVE THE VULNERABILITY AND LOVE YOU."

Whilst a third put: "This picture is stunning. Why would you need to smooth anything out? Your skin is beautiful and smooth already.

"Thank you for being you and reminding everyone to be themselves. You are on my inspiration board always."
