Feeling GOOD AS HELL
It’s in the thick Brazilian heat that Lizzo arrives at a studio in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, to shoot a cover for marie claire international. She’s spent the past few days exploring the city with her crew (roughly 20 people including make-up artists, stylists, agents, dancers and security): checking out Christ the Redeemer, sizzling in a red bikini on Ipanema Beach and downing bottomless caipirinhas on a famous hotel rooftop. But the 32-year-old has one unchecked item on her bucket list. “I still want to see some Brazilian butts,” she announces, adding that she’s been flirting with cute local guys but needs to learn more Portuguese. “I say ‘oi’ and they smile back,” she says. “There’s something sexy in the air.”
Right away Lizzo affirms she doesn’t like small talk, and as the shoot gets underway she’s categorical about choosing her looks. She knows her body and she knows what she likes.
