Slimmed-down Lizzo looks just like Beyonce in shocking transformation snaps
The 37-year-old music sensation — who has lost a significant amount of weight — transformed into platinum blonde bombshell with help from a natural-looking lace-front wig in her latest carousel post.
'Just a girl & her blonde era,' she captioned the images while engaging her audience of 11.6 million.
The star, born Melissa Jefferson, even uploaded a snapshot of the 43-year-old Cowboy Carter artist for comparison.
Both women's faces were fully made up with glowy cosmetics and their lengthy, flowing, frosty locks created a frame around them.

Lizzo was clad in a body-hugging brown co-ord in the snaps, which she wore on stage during a performance in video footage included in the roundup.
Her off-the-shoulder look was complemented with gold accents, including a necklace with a cross pendant and multiple chunky rings with stones.
She flaunted her ongoing transformation, as the body-inclusivity advocate has been steadily dropping weight.
Jefferson was a guest on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast in April, where she discussed her 'weight release journey.'
Addressing her shrinking frame, she declared, 'I have been on an intentional weight release journey.'
The About Damn Time songwriter continued, 'I put it on the internet. I posted about it, and I think over the last year and a half, as I've been doing it, my body has been changing — very slowly — but I don't think people were paying attention.'
She opened up, 'I was still very anti-fatphobia on this entire journey. But I think that we gotta remember: everybody's not seeing your sh*t all the time, everybody's not seeing every video you post, everybody's not privy to what you're going through.'
Fans were shocked to see a much smaller Lizzo earlier this year when she released Love In Real Life, the titular first single off her upcoming album.
She explained further on Shetty's podcast, '[Everybody's] not with you every day. So when I pop out on a red carpet or when a video suddenly goes viral and my body is different, it appears like it was overnight. It appears sudden.'
Lizzo shot to fame in 2019, when she was much heavier, and quickly became an outspoken voice for body positivity.

While speaking to Jay she acknowledged, 'I think [my weight loss] was shocking to a lot of people.'
The musician made a triumphant return to the stage in March with a show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles.
Addressing the audience between songs, she opened up about her struggle with depression after getting hit with sexual harassment lawsuits by her backup dancers in 2023.
She confessed things got so 'dark' for her at times that she started to have suicidal thoughts.
'I named [my album Love In Real Life] because about a year and a half ago — it's so hard for me to talk about — I was in such a dark, deep depression,' the classically trained flautist shared.
'I was so heartbroken by the world and so deeply hurt that I didn't want to live anymore, and I was so deeply afraid of people that I didn't want to be seen. Eventually I got over that fear,' she declared.

Katie Price sends pointed message to ex Peter Andre just hours after branding him ‘pathetic'
KATIE Price has shared a pointed message just hours after branding ex husband Peter Andre 'pathetic' and claiming he 'banned her' from daughter Princess' 18th birthday party. The 46-year-old hit out on the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, which she hosts with sister Sophie, 35. 3 Katie has made her feelings clear after claiming she was banned from Princess' birthday party Credit: Getty 3 She branded ex-husband Peter 'pathetic' in a furious rant on her podcast Credit: Splash 3 Katie suffered a social media blunder when she wished Princess happy birthday two days early Credit: Getty Katie, who shares Princess and son Junior, 20, with first husband Peter, 52, later took to Instagram to make her feelings on the matter very clear. She posted a message that read: 'I love my daughter.' The former glamour model then followed with another with the words: 'My daughter will always be my little princess.' Katie didn't hold back as she discussed being left off of the guest list for a party to celebrate Princess hitting the milestone - which will feature in the rising star's upcoming reality show. She said: "Princess is now officially an adult, so Mummy and Princess can now go out together, if certain people would let her be seen with me." She went on: "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me." Sophie chipped in: "You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why." Katie then said: "It's pathetic. I'm her mother. "I'm just saying, Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming.'" Sophie added: "Oh of course it was! I wonder what restaurant did that for free." Continuing the rant, Katie said: "The fact is there's stuff my daughter is doing and I'm not allowed to be seen at any of it. Mortifying moment Katie Price gets daughter Princess' birthday WRONG and has to delete tribute "Certain people who are filming Princess' documentary used to do my filming. It's fine, it's just there's always conflict of interest. People will cotton on to this. So we do have to do something for Princess' 18th.' It comes after Katie suffered a mortifying blunder when she posted a birthday tribute to Princess two days before her big day. She was forced to swiftly delete the post, before uploading another on the correct date.

Michael Madsen's challenging final years revealed including nasty divorce and young son's tragic suicide
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ACTOR Michael Madsen suffered through years of family struggles before his sudden death on Thursday. The Kill Bill star was found unresponsive at his Malibu home just months after he filed for divorce from his third wife and three years after the tragic suicide of his son. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Actor Michael Madsen's young son, Hudson Madsen, seen in 2011, died just years before the star's death Credit: Getty 3 Hudson was just 26 years old when he died by suicide in 2022 Credit: Instagram 3 Madsen filed for divorce from his wife DeAnna Madsen in September and accused her of enflaming their son's mental health struggles, but later took back the claims Credit: AFP Los Angeles County deputies rushed to Madsen's home in Malibu, California, after getting a 911 call that he was unresponsive. They said he was dead by the time they arrived, and believed that he died from natural causes. No foul play is suspected. According to the actor's manager, Madsen died from cardiac arrest. His death came as a shock, as the Hollywood star was working on many independent film projects when the tragedy struck. Just months before he collapsed, Madsen celebrated a career highlight by becoming the new face of a cigar company and was pictured on the front page of Hollywood Times. But amid his professional success, the actor was waging a bitter legal war with his estranged wife DeAnna Madsen after 28 years of marriage. Madsen filed for divorce from DeAnna in September, court documents show, and the couple had been separated since January 2022. In the documents, the actor alleged that the two parted ways shortly after their 26-year-old son Hudson died by suicide, People reported at the time. He blamed his wife for inflaming their son's mental health battle with her "neglect, drinking, and alcoholism" and said they had "irreconcilable differences" in the docs. The actor even got a domestic violence restraining order against DeAnna. The filing came one month after Madsen was arrested for battery of a spouse. His lawyer claimed at the time that he had "confronted" DeAnna and "asked her to leave" their house. 'Michael has shown immense compassion and restraint during this period towards his estranged wife,' his lawyer Perry Wander told The Hollywood Reporter days after the arrest. 'He's definitely not guilty of domestic violence." Meanwhile, DeAnna accused her estranged partner of "struggling with his own personal issues." "Myself and our children have been supporting him to the best of our ability. We would request privacy at this time," she told the outlet. Weeks after the filings were made public, Madsen released an emotional statement on social media, saying that he wished his "wife no harm or embarrassment." "Losing a child is the hardest and most painful experience that can happen in this world," he wrote. "I deeply apologize for not correcting this earlier but I love my wife and our other 4 children and have no desire for divorce or blame." Madsen clarified that his wife has "absolutely nothing to do with what happened to our son" and described the death as a "horrible loss." "I don't think my son is dead, I think he escaped from a life that didn't make sense anymore," he wrote. More to follow...

I hired a PI after Tattle Life trolls outed my pregnancy – it left me heartbroken, says Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily
Scroll down to see how Tattle Life affected thousands of celebs and influencers TROLL HELL I hired a PI after Tattle Life trolls outed my pregnancy – it left me heartbroken, says Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Tattle Life website has been used for years to spread nasty gossip about celebrities and influencers alike. But since its anonymous owner was outed in a Northern Irish court last month, victims of the forums have finally spoken out against the abuse they've endured, including Emily Clarkson. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Emily Clarkson shared her battle with the gossip forum Tattle Life Credit: Rex Features 3 the mum of two had to hire a PI to keep her family safe Credit: Instagram/em_clarkson Speaking on her podcast Should I Delete That? with co-host Alex Light, Jeremy Clarkson's eldest daughter has shared the lengths she went to in an attempt to uncover the trolls targeting her and her family. Englishman, Sebastian Bond, lost his right to anonymity in the courts after he was successfully sued for defamation as the website's founder. The site which attracted 12 million visitors a month was launched seven years ago and supposedly aimed at exposing disingenuous influencers, but has earned the name of a 'troll site; to abuse anyone they see fit.' And Emily was one of thousands of celebrities targeted by people hiding under anonymous accounts to spread hate and abuse. Speaking on the podcast, Emily said: "Tattle has been the biggest thorn in our sides. "You and I, Al, have genuinely been heartbroken by this; it's affected me to the point where I've had to block it on all devices. Emily revealed she has to get those close to her to check the site every few weeks just to ensure images of her kids and her home address wasn't leaked. "I was so broken by it, I haven't been able to check it since Arlo was born, if they say anything bad about my kids I'm gonna die" she continued. The 30-year-old also revealed that her pregnancy with her second child, Xanthe was ruined by trolls on the site who leaked details of her pregnancy. Emily revealed that the cyberbullying got so bad she ended up hiring a private investigator (PI) to find the trolls who were not just harassing her online but stalking her in real life too. 3 Emily is the oldest daughter of journalist and TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson Credit: Amazon Ireland AM guest recalls harrowing online harassment from tattle website "I need to stress, I've found these people, I've hired a PI and I'm incredibly good at finding people on the internet," she continued. Emily's clever detective skills led her to find one Tattle Life user who referred to Emily as 'thrush' as she was 'annoying', but on Instagram would DM Emily being nice as pie. To show her she knew who she was, Emily decided to send her a picture of thrush medication on Instagram and was swiftly left alone by the troll. "She saw it and never replied," Emily chuckled. Tattle Life Timeline Creation of Tattle Life: The online forum Tattle Life was established as a platform for commentary and critiques of influencers and celebrities. Harassment of Neil and Donna Sands: A 45-page thread targeting Neil and Donna Sands appeared on Tattle Life, leading to a campaign of harassment, invasion of privacy, defamation, and breach of data rights against the couple. Legal Action by the Sands: Neil and Donna Sands filed a lawsuit against Tattle Life, seeking justice for the harm caused by the forum's content. Outcome of the Lawsuit: The Sands won £300,000 in damages, marking a significant victory in their legal battle. Unmasking of Tattle Life Owner: The legal action revealed the identity of the website's owner, Sebastian Bond, also known as the vegan cooking influencer Bastian Durward. Repercussions for Tattle Life: Following the lawsuit, many users of Tattle Life began deleting their accounts due to fears of exposure. Other individuals who have been targeted by the site are now considering legal action, including applying for Norwich Pharmacal orders to unmask anonymous trolls. After her pregnancy was leaked on the site, Emily got a PI to track down who it was. "It felt really nice to know they could be found, and if you push me too far, I know who you are," she continued. "If I read my thread, I'd think I'm the worst person in the world," she added. Emily made the point that not only did the comments hurt her but could also affect future work partnerships and relationships, and the platform never gave those targeted a chance to defend themselves. Since it was created in 2017, the founder of Tattle Life was anonymous, but it was found out after fashion brand owner Donna Sands and her husband Neil took the owner to court in Northern Ireland, Sebastian's identity was lifted. Thanks to The Sands, who were targeted by those on the site, Sebastian was found to be the anonymous founder and they have been awarded £150,000 each.
