Lizzo has taken the world by storm in the last few months, and the body positive community has been awaiting her meteoric rise for quite some time.
I’ve written a few pieces about Lizzo before, most notably outfit ideas for her concerts and a roundup of my favorite IRL looks from her shows.
To celebrate, I’ve listed Lizzo’s magazine covers and editorials below – with most recent stories first.
September 2019 – Elle Magazine
Lizzo was interviewed by Allison Takeda and photographed by Yvan Fabing.
This line from the interview really inspired me: “I just felt like I was throwing music into the world and not even making a splash,” she recounts during a rare (and brief ) break from her current tour. “A tree was falling in the forest and not making a sound, you know? I was crying in my room all day. I said, ‘If I stop making music now, nobody would f*cking care.’ ”
July 2019 – LOVE Magazine
One of my favorite magazines, I loved seeing these photos of Lizzo. Lizzo was photographed by Alasdair McLelllan and Nell Kalonji.

May 2019 – Essence Magazine
Lizzo was photographed by JD Barnes for the Essence cover. Those shoes caused a RESPONSE within my soul. Read the interview here.
April 2019 – V Magazine (V119)
This editorial (photographed by Chris Coll) was sexy as hell.
Loved this quote: “When I was little, my mom would always say I was “doing the most.” I would do every class, every elective, every after-school activity. And I would just go until I passed out. And I’m still doing that to this day. I have been working [this hard] for a long time— since before I moved to Minneapolis, [which I did] when I was done with Houston. I had tried everything career-wise in Houston and it just didn’t work [before music took off].”

Spring 2019 – The Cut
Lizzo was photographed by Pari Dukovic for this issue.
March 2019 – Allure
This feature by Shammara Lawrence starts with the line, “If I am ever shipwrecked, may Lizzo be the person with whom I am stranded.”
Lizzo was photographed by Luke Gilford for this issue.
I think many people would agree. Read the story here.
August 2018 – Gay Times
Lizzo served Clueless realness in this cover!
Amazing quote: “When black women can fit into a certain mould, we can get into the industry. It’s hard, because they pit us against each other and create a lot of obstacles, but if you can get through those, you’re good.”
The issue is sold out, but if you email them they may find one for you! Link.
