Why We Love Demi Lovato’s Vanity Fair Photoshoot

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

If you are one of Demi Lovato’s 26.8 million Instagram followers, you are probably familiar with her latest photoshoot for Vanity Fair magazine. On a whim, she decided to pose naked, and without makeup or photo retouching and we think the photos are fabulous!

Not only is this woman unbelievably gorgeous, but she is real. The fact that Demi wanted to pose for the magazine differently than most other celebrities do shows that she is not afraid to be her true self. Her fans can look at these photos and relate to her.

These photos send the message that it is okay to have flaws, and that accepting them and appreciating who you really are is what makes you confident.

Demi has been battling depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder since she was a little girl, and uses music to cope with this darkness that keeps creeping back into her life. She is open and honest with the public about her mental illness and uses her fame to educate others about mental health and to remind her fans to “stay strong.” 

Hopefully you feel as empowered by this photoshoot as we do. Go, Demi!

Grace is from Lincoln, Massachusetts and beyond excited to be a part of UMass Amherst's chapter of Her Campus. As a senior, she is majoring in psychology with a letter of specialization in social welfare/social work and a letter of specializtion in developmental disabilities and human services. When she is not writing for Her Campus, she is probably joking around with her friends, shamelessly listening to Ariana Grande, or browsing the Benefit and Tarte sections of the Sephora website.
