Lizzo's Daring BET Awards Look Sparks Buzz: What's the Story Behind That Dress?
She’s looking good as hell.
Lizzo turned heads in a bold sheer dress at the 2026 BET Awards Sunday in Los Angeles. The 38-year-old singer wore a sparkling see-through brown gown to the ceremony held at the Peacock Theater, with her long blond curls strategically covering her breasts.
She finished off the look with statement rings and glowing makeup.
The “Truth Hurts” singer is also set to perform at this year’s BET Awards.
Lizzo has been busy promoting her new album, “Bitch,” that dropped earlier this month. She recently revealed to SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy what her favorite track on the album is.
“Right now I’m loving ‘Sexy Ladies’ and I think it’s because everyone loves sexy ladies,” she said. “And it’s so easy to love it. It’s summer, right?”
She also dished about performing at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show during Miami Swim Week last month.
“I felt so sucked in,” Lizzo said about rocking a plunging one-piece from her own fashion line that read “Bitch.”
“The girls were — the Yittys were Yittying,” she joked. “We have to put ‘Bitch’ on this suit, and we just did it.”
Lizzo has been candid about her noticeable 60-pound weight loss with her fans. In April, she shared pics of herself rocking a Gucci bikini on Instagram striking a few provocative poses, including one of her grabbing her backside.
“Yall gettin the whole stomach out all summer,” she wrote.
In November 2025, Lizzo shared in a deeply personal Substack post that she began losing weight in the fall of 2023 following her harassment and hostile work environment scandal, which she wrote made her “deeply suicidal.”
She noted that she “would tend to binge when sad and depressed,” but she “didn’t feel like doing that” after the scandal.
Instead, the Grammy winner took up Pilates in search of “a way to process [her] pain through [her] body.”
“It was never about being ‘thin’ for me,” she stressed. “I don’t even think it’s possible for me to be considered actually ‘thin.’ I will always have the stretch, and the skin of a woman who carries great weight. And I’m proud of that. Even when the world doesn’t want me to be.”
She also addressed the criticism she’s received for losing weight while preaching body positivity.
“We’re in an era where the bigger girls are getting smaller because they’re tired of being judged. And now those bigger girls are being judged for getting smaller by the very community they used to empower,” she pointed out.
“There’s nothing wrong with living in a bigger body. There’s nothing wrong with being fat. But if a woman wants to change, she should be allowed to change.”
