Rihanna Explains The Science Behind Her Amazing 'Thicc' Figure In British Vogue's September Issue

Rihanna talks body image in the September 2018 issue of British Vogue.

Rihanna has never been afraid to address the topic of body image, from clapping back at fat-shamers to proclaiming "savages comein all shapes and sizes," when she dropped her 'Savage' lingerie line.

And the 'Wild Thoughts' singer has touched on the topic once again to British Vogue, after making history as the first black woman to ever grace their coveted September issue.

Riri chatted with the editor in chief, Edward Enninful, who asked her what it's like to be the woman other women "fancy."

"Okay, you're asking the wrong person. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm 'thicc' now," she said.

Rihanna has opened up about her "fluctuating" body type in the past, and now she's dished further on some ofthe science behind body shapes.

"I'm about to get back into the gym and stuff, and I hope I don't lose my butt or my hips or all of my thighs. I'll lose some but not all. And I think of my boobs, like, 'Imma lose everything, everything goes!"

"But, you know, it comes with a price. You want to have a butt, then you have a gut," she revealed.

Iconic.

So there you have it, folks, bodies are imperfect, ever-evolving things that we should be hella proud of no matter what stage they'reat.

This isn't the first time Riri has got real about her changing body.

Chatting to The Cutearlier this year, she explained: "I actually have had the pleasure of a fluctuating body type, where one day I can literally fit into something that is bodycon, and then the next day—the next week—I need something oversize; I need a little crop here and a high-waist there to hide that part, you know?"

Sure, it's not exactly a ground-breaking discovery that bodies don't stay the same, but we have to applaud Riri for making it known that it's OK to fluctuate.
