Lizzo is Vogue magazine’s October cover star, and she looked amazing flaunting her curves in numerous dresses in the magazine shoot shot by photographer Hype Williams.

Lizzo looked gorgeous in a red dress, which had flirty ruffles running from the neckline to the bottom of the dress. The gown had a belt around her waist, with a slit that went right up the center. She wore a pair of black heels while her hair was slicked into a bun. Lizzo had a pop of red hue on her lips that matched her dress.

The accompanying photoshoot saw her donning various elegant dresses.

One shot saw her donning a pink strapless dress, which featured layeed ruffles on the bottom half. She posed with her hands on her chest while flashing a wide smile at the camera. Her hair was styled in a glamorous up do, and she completed the look with dangling earrings.

Another snap saw the singer rocking a figure-hugging sparkling gown with open-toed shoes. Her hair was pulled back in a high ponytail, which was crimped in a wavy style.

Take a look at various looks below.

“Having a Black woman as vice president would be great,” Lizzo says, “because I’m just always rooting for Black people. But I want actual change to happen…in the laws. And not just on the outside, you know? Not a temporary fix to a deep-rooted, systemic issue. A lot of times I feel like we get distracted by the veneer of things. If things appear to be better, but they’re not actually better, we lose our sense of protest.” She makes sure to mention Breonna Taylor and Sandra Bland and all the women who, inadvertently or not, often get dropped from the conversation: “We need to talk about the women.” - @voguemagazine story by Claudia Rankine.

“I think it’s lazy for me to just say I’m body positive at this point,” Lizzo says. “It’s easy. I would like to be body-normative. I want to normalize my body. And not just be like, ‘Ooh, look at this cool movement. Being fat is body positive.’ No, being fat is normal. I think now, I owe it to the people who started this to not just stop here. We have to make people uncomfortable again, so that we can continue to change. Change is always uncomfortable, right?” - @voguemagazine story by Claudia Rankine. Link in bio.

‘Early in her career, Lizzo says, she was told by music-industry executives, “You can’t go white to Black. But you can go from Black to white.” Her response: “‘Well, I’m a Black woman. So I can do just about anything I want to do.’ How dare these people sit up and tell me who my music is going to appeal to or not?”... “When I go hiking or whatever,” Lizzo tells me, “it’s Black girls being like, ‘I like your music.’ ‘Hey, that’s Lizzo.’” These Black fans confirm for Lizzo what she already knows, that she’s “a Black woman making music from a Black experience”—and that her message can speak to anyone.’ - @voguemagazine story by Claudia Rankine.
