The body positivity movement continues to gain more and more momentum on social media and is increasingly discussed on mainstream media channels. So it’s no wonder stars like Amy Schumer and Sam Smith are joining in to help oppose society’s unrealistic beauty standards and empower those with marginalised bodies not shown in the media.

Here are 10 stars encouraging us all to love ourselves just the way we are.

Rihanna

No one else embodies self-love as much as the Grammy winner and fashion entrepreneur. First, RiRi impressed her fans with her make-up range, Fenty Beauty, that caters to all skin tones. Then, in 2019, the Only Girl singer launched her groundbreaking lingerie line Savage X Fenty, choosing models of all sizes, colours, sexualities and gender identities to pose for her and walk the catwalk.

Alicia Keys

The Girl on Fire hitmaker has not worn make-up for public appearances for years to educate people on her no make-up movement. Keys has embraced her natural beauty and shows it off in the hope of inspiring other people to do the same. On her album “Here”, she speaks about her new natural look and in the song Girl Can’t Be Herself, she explores how the body positivity movement is changing society.
