Attention: bends ahead.
Wrapped up on the cover of Elle UK, Lizzo poses for the magazine’s September issue in nothing but high-fashion warning tape branded by Balenciaga.
Kim Kardashian was famously the first to wear the luxury label’s stick-on creation, choosing the tacky style for Balenciaga’s fall 2022 show in March.
Like the founder of Skims, who had a hard time getting a seat in the front row in the claustrophobic catsuit, Lizzo appeared to have some mobility issues, which she showed in an Instagram video on Wednesday.
“I’M A RIDICULOUS PEOPLE…ONLY STREAM ‘OVER DAMN TIME’ AND ASK NO QUESTIONS,” she captioned the hilariously stiff clip.
“I have several questions,” one person responded to the message. “This just made me pee my pants,” said another. A third joked, “This is what Spanx feels about me.”
The 34-year-old “Truth Hurts” singer told Elle UK she needed to learn to love herself, then project her confidence onto others and lead by example.
“There are millions of people going through what I’m going through, who don’t have an outlet, who don’t have a support system, who don’t have the financial freedom or access to certain things to feel better,” she said.
“I don’t want people to suffer like I do. If I can give someone a cheat code, or if I can give someone the recipe so they can make their own sauce, I’ll do it.”
She also discussed Yitty, her recently released shapewear line.
“More than any piece of clothing, shapewear can give people feelings about their bodies and most of the time it’s bad. I want to revolutionize shapewear. I want to change how people think when they hear the word ‘snatched’. I don’t want people in their lives ever have to deal with a seat belt again,” Lizzo said.
While the mummy look may be worth a laugh, it could also be the next big thing — shapewear underneath, or not.
And while no one can compare it to Lizzo or Kardashian, anyone can make their own Balenciaga onesie at home – assuming they’re willing to spend £300 for two rolls of tape.
