Selena Gomez’s Pictures In A Bikini Are As Real As It Gets And We Love Everything About It
Scrolling through the Instagram accounts of all these famous personalities leaves me in awe of them. I mean watching them pose for the cover magazines and photoshoots in their near perfect bodies, definitely sets body goals. Or makes me aspire to something that’s not humanly possible. But having said that, it makes me wonder if their body is in actuality that ‘flawless’? I mean do they have all the right curves at all the right places with smooth, clear skin? And I know for a fact that all these pictures are put through edits and filters to make it look the way it is being presented on social media. This thought was further emphasized by the latest pictures that Selena Gomez shared on her Instagram.
Recently, the 28-year-old star, Selena Gomez, shared a picture from her latest photoshoot project. Selena Gomez, after announcing her collaboration with swimwear brand, La’Mariette, shared a single picture of her in a stunning bikini and what was even more shocking was that the picture was photoshop free – to campaign body positivity and inclusivity of all body types.

Selena Gomez on various occasions has come out in support of body positivity and spoke about how the impossible-to-match beauty standards have affected her mental health.
In the solo picture that she shared on her personal account on Instagram, Selena Gomez spoke about body positivity and loving your own body endlessly. She wrote, “So grateful that I get the opportunity to celebrate my friends’ endeavors. My collaboration with @lamariette is out today! What I love about this brand is that it celebrates women who love their bodies unconditionally giving themselves the grace they deserve.
To emphasize their body positivity aim, the brand and Selena Gomez made it a point to not add any filter or edit the images and not add more to the impossible body standards that have been promoted around the world by celebrities.
Selena Gomez’s fans, popularly known as Selenators, have been going gaga over the images and are impatiently waiting for more of these pictures to hit social media. Her Instagram and brand’s Instagram accounts were flooded with comments from fans from all over the world that was praising the fact that she campaigned for body positivity and inclusivity of all body types.
In a world where all celebrities and famous personalities are setting a particular body standard that is impossible to match, watching a global star like Selena Gomez come out and show her body in its raw, unedited form to campaign body positivity is very appreciated. We need women and men to accept their own bodies and love themselves for who they are. We need to understand, accept, and acknowledge the fact that all of us have different body types, and promoting just a particular body type is unacceptable.
