Selena Gomez received plenty of support as she showcased her curves in swimwear ahead of the pandemic. In March 2018, the 32-year-old soaked up rays from a swanky boat in Australia. Photos show her smiling as she rocks a mismatched bikini.

Displaying her curvy figure, Selena reminded the cameras that beauty comes from within. Most fans who saw the images seemed to think she looked radiant. Selena’s photos came just under a year before she publicly addressed her fluctuating weight, confirming that she can gain weight from the medication she takes to manage her Lupus condition.

Scroll for the photos. Laughing and smiling in one image, Selena flaunted her shapely silhouette in a low-cut red bikini top, flashing her cleavage tastefully while drawing the eye to her arms and shoulders. Adding skimpy black bottoms, the “Love On” hitmaker was photographed kneeling, wearing her hair tied back, and completing her look with hoop earrings.

Another snap, meanwhile, showed Selena on all fours as she clambered around the vessel barefoot. Here, the Rare Beauty founder flaunted her toned back and peachy backside, also showcasing her bikini top’s halter design.

Hanging out with friends in the wake of her split from ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, Selena shared some moments from her boat day to Instagram, writing: “I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone.” The photos quickly made The Daily Mail‘s headlines, where comments piled up fast.

Noting the singer’s autoimmune condition, one fan gained likes for writing: “The anti-rejection medications following transplants can cause significant side-effects and profound changes to the body. She should wear her scars and her marks with pride and enjoy the life she has been gifted.”

The above photos were reposted to an Instagram fan account, where a user, seemingly going down the positive route, referred to Selena Gomez as “a lil thicker.” Meanwhile, another fan on The Daily Mail said that Gomez has the best “figure in Hollywood.”

“I think she looks great,” a further fan replied, adding: “There was a lot of body-shaming about her body and scars online on Monday, so – to me – her empowerment post is timely. It’s a good message to women.”

Selena Gomez kicked 2024 off to an honest and candid start as she shared decade-old photos of herself in swimwear before comparing the throwbacks to her current, curvier self. The singer admitted that she would “never” look that way “again,” also confirming that her Lupus treatment is behind her weight changes.

Selena has since made headlines for achieving billionaire status and getting engaged to producer and songwriter Benny Blanco. Fans likely can’t wait for the wedding!
