Lizzo Dazzles in Sleek Corset at BET Awards: Weight Loss Journey Ignites Conversation

Lizzo looked nothing short of incredible as she showcased her incredible weight loss at the BET Awards held at the Peacock Theater, Los Angeles on Monday

Lizzo Sizzles on the Red Carpet! Singer's Jaw-Dropping Weight Loss Leaves Fans Speechless

The BET Awards were abuzz with excitement last Monday as Lizzo turned heads with her stunning weight loss transformation. The 37-year-old singer, born Melissa Jefferson, looked absolutely incredible in a black leather corset paired with a sleek black mini dress, dazzling diamond jewelry, and a platinum blonde wig that sent shockwaves through the room.

But what really got tongues wagging was the fact that Lizzo didn't walk the traditional red carpet. Instead, she made a subtle yet impactful entrance, mingling with other attendees like B2K's Lil' Fizz, J-Boog, and Omarion. The result? A jaw-dropping sight that left fans screaming for more.

The star looked sensational as she demonstrated her extreme weight loss

As seen on the social media frenzy, Lizzo's stunning appearance sent shockwaves through Twitter, with one fan exclaiming, "Lizzo looked ravishing! (She shoulda performed, too!) #BETAwards." Another user simply put it: "Lizzo looking good asf," while a third fan dubbed her "FIERCE now!" The X user's comment – "Lizzo was almost unidentifiable lol She was already gorgeous" – summed up the collective gasp from fans worldwide.

However, not everyone was impressed. Some took to social media to express their disappointment when the cameras cut to Lizzo immediately after host Kevin Hart, Druski, and Kai Cenat made a joke about diabetes. One user, @Dani_820, tweeted, "Why would yall put the camera on Lizzo when Kevin mentioned Diabetes??"

This attention wasn't new for Lizzo, who had spoken about her weight loss journey in an interview just weeks ago. On The Jason Lee Show, she revealed how being bullied for her curves due to her confidence as a plus-sized woman was the catalyst for her transformation.

"I think it was crazy to people because I was fat," she stated candidly. "The shocking factor was that people couldn't believe that someone that looked like me was confident."

When asked about the exact number of pounds she'd lost, Lizzo playfully dodged the question, saying, "If I say the number, I don't think people could do the math." Her reasoning? "I've just seen a lot of TikToks where it's like, 'Lizzo talks about her 500lbs weight loss!' Why are y'all putting numbers on me? It kind of annoys me."

It seems Lizzo has been on a long and winding road to achieve her weight loss goal. Just last January, she proudly announced on Instagram that she had reached her "weight release" milestone – which, as she explained in an episode of the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast, is more than just a number.

"My man, he's so funny," Lizzo recalled, referring to her boyfriend Myke Wright. "He was the one who brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds' and he was like, 'Where did it go?'"

Lizzo clarified that she didn't want to "lose anything" but rather "win." She explained, "I want to be very intentional about the words that come out of my mouth because there's young people who are watching me and they're experiencing what I'm putting into the world."

In a poignant moment, Lizzo shared her concerns about how the media treats people who gain and lose weight. "Be careful with your words because it can affect somebody in ways you don't even know," she warned.

Many fans were surprised to see Lizzo, since she didn't walk the red carpet, but she was sure to make an impact as she mingled with other attendees

As we all know, the pressures of social media can be suffocating – especially when celebrities feel pressured to reveal every detail of their lives. Lizzo's reluctance to share exact numbers has sparked a much-needed conversation about body positivity and self-love.

It seems Lizzo is more than just a talented singer; she's an advocate for kindness, compassion, and understanding. And with her stunning weight loss transformation serving as proof that anything is possible when we put our minds to it, fans worldwide are left in awe of this incredible woman.
