Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale has confessed that she used to not like herself when she was younger.
The rocker took to Instagram and shared a bikini picture, along with the message in the caption: “I have, since I was 13, always hated my long, pale, gangly body (they can see my ass from space it’s so white). Especially in a bikini. I would cover my body in black and wrap my ass in scarves.”
She admitted that she has been loving herself more recently. “But 2025 is my Becoming. I love myself above All. I, for the first time since I was 10 years old, think I’m pretty. So, Hello World… Let me introduce you to the New, Real, True, authentic…same me that I used to be,” Hale wrote.
Hale has been open about her physical appearance and ‘body positivity.’ On one of her social media posts back in 2021, the rocker shared that looks don’t make for one’s happiness.
“You don’t have to like your looks or certain parts of your body… just don’t make them the sole direction of your happiness. Do I like every part of me? No. Do I look in the mirror and see things I don’t like, of course. But my North Star comes from within,” she wrote. “There are more important things in my life that I do than how I dress or look. That’s why it’s so fun to keep evolving how I see myself physically… hence all the hair styles, or outfits over the years. Because my focus is on how I create, the songs I write….my fucking voice…. That’s my calling card. It’s not how you look, it’s what you DO!”
She also made headlines for her new look last year. Sharing various outfits for Halestorm’s upcoming tour in New Zealand and Australia, Hale’s slimmer appearance sparked concern among some fans. “She doesn’t look healthy… So skinny,” one wrote. Another added: “Gorgeous as always. I hope everything is ok with you and your health. Worried about you.”
Still, Hale has been open about her healthy lifestyle choices, including a plant-based diet and regular exercise, stressing that true beauty comes from how one lives their life.
