Lizzo made a striking appearance at the 2025 BET Awards, which had fans talking about her incredible weight loss journey. Though she skipped the red carpet, the Grammy-winning singer showed off her look inside Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, wearing a daring black ensemble that emphasized her figure.
The outfit featured a fitted long-sleeve minidress with a plunging neckline, framing her curves. The ensemble was paired with a black leather corset that cinched her waist and created an hourglass shape.
Lizzo complemented the look with sparkling diamond studs, hoop earrings, a Cuban link chain featuring an oversized diamond-encrusted “Yitty” pendant, which is a nod to her inclusive shapewear brand, and a collection of silver and diamond rings.

I loved to distract myself with problems that I would create. I would love to do that. And I stopped doing that. And I just focused on me.”
