Camila Cabello turned to social media to address her personal difficulties with body image and to criticise society for establishing false expectations of how women should appear. Because of today’s “unrealistic” portrayals of women, the singer admits she is often “self-conscious” about wearing bikinis in public.
The Bam Bam singer wrote about an incident she had with photographers on a Miami beach in a lengthy article. She claimed that she was constantly followed by photographers, who would publish photos of her and get comments that made her “extremely unhappy.” Camila said she couldn’t enjoy herself after getting dressed for a beach day in Miami with a new bikini and a “full f**king lovely look,” because she was “so tired.”
“I couldn’t let go and relax and do what we’re supposed to do when we go out in nature,” she continued. Despite the fact that she knew she “looked fantastic” and expected to feel “accomplished,” the Grammy-nominated singer claimed she had “never had a worse day at the beach.”

However, this isn’t the first time Camila has spoken up about her body issues on social media. In 2019, the Seorita singer expressed her displeasure with those who tried to body shame her. The singer stated that she intended to commemorate the second anniversary of her popular song “Havana” with a photo, but when hunting for it, she came across an unpleasant article that criticised her figure at the time. Camila, interestingly, also published an open letter earlier this month on the “yearning feeling of belonging.”
