@Klossfilms for British Vogue

American singer Lizzo graces the December 2019 cover of British Vogue magazine. But not all of her fans are excited for her first ever Vogue cover.

Lizzo was styled in a black Versace frock with a feather boa in B&W photographs shot by @Klossfilms. A cheap photo filter effect makes Lizzo appear 3 sizes smaller – which doesn’t suit her fans who complained about the unnecessary filter effect.

One fan tweeted: “I love Lizzo so much and am so happy she’s on the Vogue UK cover BUT why did they put that ugly filter on her portrait ???”

Another user tweeted: “This cheap glitch / acid blur effect is homophobic”.

Lizzo told British Vogue that she felt worthless growing up because thick women like her weren’t represented in fashion magazines.

“When you don’t see yourself, you start to think something’s wrong with you. Then you want to look like those things and when you realize it’s a physical impossibility, you start to think, ‘What the fuck is wrong with me?’ I think that took a greater toll on me, psychologically, growing up than what anyone could have said to me.”
