People were pretty much falling over themselves in the comments. The photos definitely speak for themselves, so all good. “Been 3 mins of thinking of a caption.I ain’t got s**t to say 🥴🧡,” she wrote in the caption. The strapless bra is a corset style and the bottoms are a lacy thong-and it’s all accessorized by Rihanna’s super toned body. The pictures show Rihanna from the front, side, and back, modeling a gorgeous orange lingerie set from her own Savage x Fenty line. Well, Riri just gifted the TL with several stunning photos and it’s safe to say pretty much everyone is going to want to take a look. When Rihanna shares a lingerie pic on Instagram, the world stops. Rihanna stays in shape with the help of a personal chef and various trainers.The singer is wearing an orange lingerie set from her Savage x Fenty line.Rihanna, 33, just showed off her toned abs, sculpted booty, and super strong legs from every angle on Instagram.And no one likes or laughs at a “Your Mama’s so fat joke” when it’s their mother as the brunt of it. Is this fat shaming a result of the new social media age, or has our society always been this superficial and petty? Either way, it’s problematic because at some point the women whose bodies are being objectified are our own: our sisters, mothers or daughters. Just look at our current president and his history of fat shaming women, most infamously calling 1996 Miss USA Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy ” and “Miss Housekeeping.” If Trump can be an ass and still assent to the most prestigious job in our country, then that becomes the precedent that allows Joe Blow to call out Rihanna, or comment on other women’s bodies without consequence. It’s no wonder that strangers feel comfortable shaming the female body because the people that we’ve ‘elected’ do the exact same thing. That we can’t make up the laws that govern our body. And what has politics always said about women’s bodies? That they are not our own. The social-cultural climate (whether consciously or not) takes its cue from the political world. And nowhere is that more apparent than in conversations and debates over women’s bodies. If the media is doing it, why can’t we? And the advent social media has given everyone in the world access mediums to post their opinions and hope for relevancy. The fact that anytime a celebrity gains a little weight they are immediately subjected to pregnancy rumors is a testament to the insensitivity to women’s bodies, weight, and how deeply imbedded those unachievable beauty standards are (not to mention heteronormative) our society is.Ĭeleb sources like TMZ, The Shade Room, and Perez Hilton have built their careers on celebrity gossip, opinion, and commentary on people and bodies that are not their own. We are said to “not be trying hard enough” or “not taking care of ourselves.” Our weight gain, unlike men, becomes a guessing game of are you pregnant or just getting fat? Rihanna isn’t the first celebrity to have to stave off pregnancy rumors due to “weight gain.” Jennifer Aniston has had more than her share of “Pregnant or Fat?” tabloid cover stories. Women are praised when we look like magazines and chastised when we don’t - or don’t want to. What we as women should make our business is when others - particularly heterosexual white males - objectify women’s bodies to unreachable and unhealthy standards and then subject all women to those beauty standards. ” What Rihanna eats, does (or doesn’t do) with her body is nobody’s business but her own. Even Rihanna’s own father in 2012 had something to say about her weight, calling her “a little fat. Normal and ordinary as compared to what? The hyper-glammed ‘celebrity’ version of herself that we, and the media, expect her to be all the time? Or normal and ordinary as compared to the heavily crafted, nipped-and-tucked, photoshopped celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner? All are unrealistic standards of the shape and presentation of women’s bodies for anyone. In April of this year, MTO News posted article links to three pictures as proof that Rihanna doesn’t necessarily look “BAD in the bikini” but she just “looks a lot more ORDINARY than we’re used to seeing her.” Every blogger, every ‘Hollywood Lifestyle’ site, every entertainment news source has an opinion on Rihanna’s body. Our celeb-obsessed culture and ‘news’ outlets have been doing it for years. The body shaming of Rihanna isn’t something new.
