Selena shows off her 2013 bikiոi photo and her new one, thinking she’ll never look like this again
On Monday, Selena Gomez sent a brief message of body positivity to her Instagram.
The actress, 31, shared a picture of herself in a tiny zebra bikini from the past along with a more recent bathing suit photo in which she showed off her larger body in white tube top and high-waisted bikini bottoms.
“I realized today that I will never look like this again.” Selena wrote over the first image, which was taken in Miami, Florida, in 2013.
Selena has previously admitted to “crying my eyes out” at remarks that made fun of her appearance.
In the next photo, which was taken in Mexico in 2023, she commented, “I’m not perfect but I am proud to be who I am… sometimes I forget it’s ok to be me.”
Selena has previously expressed messages of body positivity on several occasions. She also attacked body shamers in February of last year, admitting that her weight increase was caused by her lupus medicine.
Earlier in the day, Gomez visited the skincare clinic Face Place in West Hollywood without makeup and wore grey cashmere-style sweatshirts and beige fuzzy slides.
The 52-year-old institution, which provides medical aesthetic procedures like Kybella, Botox, Radiofrequency Microneedling, and Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening, was welcomed by the pop diva with her hands full.
Gomez responded to online trolls who made disparaging remarks about her figure in February of last year by declaring that she would “never be a model.”
The actress from Only Murders in the Building revealed that she will “hold a lot of water weight” as a result of the numerous drugs she takes and urged her followers to love themselves even when they feel ashamed.
‘When I’m off of it, I tend to kind of lose weight,’ stated the Lose You to Love Me singer, who has previously been outspoken about her diagnosis of autoimmune disease and her experience with mental health issues.
The former Disney star said that the slight side effect is insignificant compared to her health, while still supporting body positivity: “My medications are important, and I believe they are what helps me.”
