Selena Gomez flew the flag for natural curves as she topped up her tan in 2020, although her bikini-clad photos still sparked body-shaming remarks. In January of that year, the 32-year-old soaked up rays from a yacht while in Hawaii, showing off her curves in a green swimsuit while going makeup-free. Opting out of any typical Hollywood posing, Selena went fuss-free as she showcased her healthy-looking figure, and it looks like the absence of the industry's favored six-pack was enough to launch nasty remarks. Selena, who has since confirmed that her weight can fluctuate as she manages her Lupus condition, was called "fat" by one troll, with another moaning that she'd gained "weight again."

Scroll for the photos. Looking relaxed as she lay back a little and propped herself up with her hands, Selena squinted a little in the sunshine while rocking a chic green bikini with thick straps. Showing off her curves and hints of her legs, the billionaire opted for full, high-waisted briefs, also going skintight.

Flashing her cleavage via her bandeau top's low neckline, Selena also displayed her tan, completing her look with her hair worn down, a little damp, and styled into bangs.

Definitely not posing and perhaps not having the paparazzi snap the most flattering of angles, Selena nonetheless stunned with her natural beauty, something that some fans appreciated. The images, shared on Just Jared's Instagram, sparked a mix of loving remarks and shaming ones. When it came to the latter, fans didn't hold back.

"She is getting fat I guess," one hatefully wrote. "She gained weight again," another wrote, with a third even asking if the Rare Beauty founder was "pregnant." Others, however, celebrated Selena embracing her natural self. "I love how natural she is," one gushed.
