Lizzo is '100% that Grinch' in her green, skintight body suit: 'The Grinch that stole your boyfriend!'
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…in Whoville.
Lizzo took to Instagram on Saturday to share a video of her latest holiday outfit, which included a full Grinch getup. The “Juice” singer rocked green hair and a striped green outfit, which included the Dr. Suess icon’s famous fur. She set the video to Shelby Swain’s NSFW Christmas tune “Mrs. Grinch.”
The Grammy winner’s followers loved to look. One commented, “Okay my favorite Grinch EVER,” while another added, “You can steal my Christmas whenever you want to.”
A third joked, “The Grinch that stole your boyfriend!”
Lizzo captioned the video “100% THAT GRINCH,” a nod to her song “Truth Hurts.”
Lizzo’s outfit wasn’t just for social media — she wore the Grinch-inspired attire to perform at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. Her outfit was initially a surprise to the audience, as the Hustlers actress — who also played the flute on stage — came out dressed as Mrs. Claus first.
“Thank you so much Jingle Ball, thank you MSG. I feel awful because I’ve actually been keeping a secret from you all. I’m not actually Mrs. Claus,” she said onstage, before removing her red coat to reveal the green look. “I’m the Grinch!”
Lizzo’s Mrs. Claus to Grinch costume change wasn’t the only swap she made at Jingle Ball, per The Root. The artist also changed out the lyrics to her song “About Damn Time,” which previously featured the line, “Feeling fussy, walkin' in my Balenci-ussy's / Tryna bring out the fabulous.” Lizzo instead sang “feelin’ fussy, walkin’ in my Yitty-ussies.”
Yitty is Lizzo’s inclusive shapewear line, which she operates in partnership with Fabletics. Balenciaga, meanwhile, has recently come under fire for a photoshoot featuring children which many have called out for its inappropriate nature, though it's unclear exactly what prompted Lizzo to make this change.
The subject of the HBO documentary Love, Lizzo wasn’t the only performer to grace the stage at Jingle Ball. Stars who performed at the NYC event included Dua Lipa, Charlie Puth, Backstreet Boys, The Kid LAROI, AJR, Demi Lovato, Lauv, Ava Max and Dove Cameron.
