Lady Gaga
When Lady Gaga graced the stage of the 2017 Super Bowl, she put on a jaw-dropping performance – but unfortunately, it was her body that ended up stealing the spotlight. Gaga is by no means ‘chunky’, however, her shorts for that show didn’t fit her properly, prompting people to feel the need to comment and critique her wardrobe choices.
Instead of recognizing that Gaga’s wardrobe stylist got the wrong size shorts, people chose to use this mistake as an excuse to fat-shame and point out that the pop star should lose weight. This totally missed the bigger picture – which was that Gaga’s shorts were a poor fit, and had everything to do with the garment, and nothing to do with her body. We must remind ourselves that each and every body is beautiful, and that clothes don’t always have to perfectly fit our body type in order for us to look stunning.
