Bebe Rexha's on holiday in Puerto Rico, and she's sharing her colorful lineup of swimwear on both Instagram and Instagram stories. Animal print is a huge trend for 2019 suits [1], but leave it to Bebe to find the boldest style in bright red with a super strappy bottom. It's not just the design of the triangle two-piece though, or her strong girl power pose. Bebe's caption on this post [2] makes all the difference:
"I probably should of photoshopped my stomach and made it look flat. I probably should of photoshopped my legs to make them look thinner. I probably should of made myself look taller and Smoothed my legs. But I didn't. Society can really fuck with you. Here is what a real woman looks like on Instagram without photoshop," she wrote.
This isn't the first time Bebe's addressed body diversity and fashion industry standards. She famously spoke out about the designers who refused to dress her for the Grammys [3], and her huge fan base has continued to show her support. Demi Lovato [4] threw her a like on this particular shot, and that makes the whole moment even greater.
