Lizzo is 100 percent that girl!
On Saturday, Nov. 8, the 37-year-old singer looked seriously glam at the 2025 Baby2Baby gala in Los Angeles. The star sparkled in a curve-hugging black sequin Diane von Furstenberg gown, adding a black fur stole and piles of diamond jewelry.
Her glam also channeled Old Hollywood glamour — her hair was teased into a voluminous style with soft curls and she sported a soft smoky makeup look.
Lizzo walked the carpet with her boyfriend Myke Wright, who coordinated with the singer’s look in a black satin suit and sunglasses.
The couple first sparked romance rumors in October 2021 and made their red carpet debut in June 2022.

In a cover story interview for New York published on Sept. 8, Lizzo gave fans rare insight into her romance with the comedian and musician.
The “About Damn Time” singer said her relationship was a “friends to lovers” trope, “or maybe enemies to lovers.” “I’m really grateful to have someone who’s extremely supportive, who doesn’t ask for s— from me, nor does he need s— from me,” she told the publication about their current relationship.
“He pours into me. He takes care of me,” she added.
Speaking with Vanity Fair in November 2022, Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Jefferson, called Wright “the love of my life.”

Lizzo recently opened up about her weight loss journey in a cover story for Women’s Health U.K.’s September issue.
“I like how I look now,” the Grammy winner told the outlet. “I still think I’m big. I’m still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls. I got the same belly, the same thighs – I think I’m just a smaller version.”
“Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same,” she continued. “Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn’t exist.”
The “Good as Hell” singer also shared that after struggling with binge eating in the past, she has now found “a beautiful balance” in her relationship with food.
“It’s a beautiful balance where it’s like, if you allow yourself to have something, you can enjoy it without overindulging and hurting yourself,” she said. “I’m so proud of myself for overcoming that.”

Lizzo began documenting her weight loss journey in 2023 and in January, announced on Instagram that she had achieved her “weight release goal” as she shared a picture of herself after lowering her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5.
She told Women’s Health U.K. that she has faced criticism for the changes to her body.
“Me saying I love myself in 2016 was offensive to people … How dare you love yourself! You are fat and Black and you’re a woman, so you shouldn’t love yourself … I had to fight for that [to love myself]. And now I’m fighting again,” she explained.
Lizzo added that she is determined not to let the criticism get to her. “It’s okay to release weight. It’s okay to gain weight after you’ve released weight, because what you’re not going to do is shame me if my body changes again and I get bigger,” she said.
