On October 27th, Georgia Author of the Year and writer of Gumbo Ya Ya, Aurielle Marie posted a TikTok to her account making a plea to Lizzo asking to borrow her 2022 Emmys dress so that she could wear it to the Out 100 event.
In the video, she states, “I know you know how it feels to be the biggest b—h in a room, and all of the scrutiny and hyper-visibility that comes along with that because I’ve watched you talk about it, I know you a girl for the girls, and I’m a girl and a girl, and I just need to know. I gotta ask. Can I please, please, please wear your dress from the 2022 Emmys?”
On Tuesday, November 15th, she posted a video of her running down her stairs in order to open a box that was sent from Lizzo. The garment that was inside was not Lizzo’s 2022 Emmys dress, however, there was a dress that Lizzo wore to the American Music Awards in 2019. Marie captioned her update video, “I might’ve gotten a few tears on your dress Lizzo, my bad babe. Words don’t suffice and thank you isn’t enough. But THANK YOU! I’m speechless, Ya’ll! A b—h is certified LIZZO-SIZED! And look at this gown! Out Magazine, here I come!”
Lizzo hasn’t yet commented on Marie’s post, however, it is likely due to her getting ready for the 2023 Grammy Awards, where she was nominated for album of the year for Special and song and record of the year for her track, “About Damn Time.”
