Plus-size women are taking social media by storm by sharing what they're expected to wear at the beach versus what they actually wear. The trend began on June 14 when Lizzo shared a video of herself looking like a goddess in a bikini and defiantly challenged traditional beauty standards by declaring it a big girl summer. She captioned the video: "SA: BIG GRRRL SUMMER = BREAK OUT THE BIKINIS. FABS ON DECK HOE! BIG FAT ASS PURRRRRRRRRRRRR. [sic]" [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CQGrtnNKAHM/]] This post came at the same time as a viral video from TikTok user @mrsbosin, where she shared the oversized baggy outfit that people expected her to wear to the beach versus the sleek, fitted bikini that she actually wears. Watch the empowering video below:  [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsbosin/video/6971112320395169029]] The video went down a storm on the social media platform as it's been liked over 1.1 million times, at the time of writing.
