Lizzo has a message for her “ladies over 200.”

The “About Damn Time” singer celebrated “Fat Liberation Month” on Instagram Sunday, posing poolside in a sparkly purple two-piece from her Yitty Swim line.

Lizzo, 38, wore the brand’s Swim Luxe Triangle Bikini Top ($44.95) and matching side-tie thong bottoms ($39.95), finishing the look with oversized Gucci shield sunglasses.

She tipped her face toward the sun in one shot, her copper curls loose down her back. A cheeky Story upload captured her glancing over her shoulder to show off the thong bottoms.

“Happy Fat Liberation Month 💕 calling all my ladies over 200 go outside n POP sumthin🙏🏾,” she captioned the post.

Followers piled into the comments to co-sign the message. “Lizzo said confidence all month long! Love the energy. 🙌✨” wrote one, while another added, “Curvalicious!!! Get it Lizzo!”

The Grammy winner launched Yitty as a size-inclusive shapewear label in 2022, later expanding into swim.

She wore one of her own Yitty designs on the July Sports Illustrated Swimsuit digital cover — a moment she said she’d been manifesting for years.

“When I was younger, I saw it and never imagined somebody with my body type would be on the cover,” she told the publication. “It’s just incredible to see how we’ve redefined sexy, redefined confidence and redefined what a swimsuit body is since I was a kid.”

The singer — whose fifth studio album, “Bitch,” dropped in May — has been open about her fluctuating weight over the past few years, which included dropping 60 pounds after starting her wellness journey in fall 2023.

She also put 20 pounds back on this year — a decision she said was fully intentional.

“I wanted to get thicker. I wanted to get juicier and thicker, and I did,” she told SI.

In an August 2025 interview with Women’s Health, she made clear her message wasn’t tied to the number on her scale.

“Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same,” she told the outlet. “Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn’t exist.”
