Selena Gomez shows off her incredible curves in swimsuit after addressing weight gain

Selena Gomez reveals her gorgeous figure as she enjoys a holiday with her friend Nicola Peltz.

The 30-year-old singer wore a chocolate seersucker swimsuit from Hunza G with high-cut legs and a low scoop back. The $205 (£160) swimsuit hugged her every curve as she relaxed by the pool with her pal.

Going makeup free, the natural beauty beamed from ear to ear as she spent time with Brooklyn Beckham's wife by the pool. Taking to the comments on Selena's Instagram post, Nicola wrote: "I love you so much!!"

Fans rushed to tell the star how "gorgeous" she looks in the new snaps, with one commenting: "You are the moment."

Earlier this year, Selena opened up about her experience of body shaming, after cruel trolls targeted her for gaining weight. The singer admitted she had experienced weight gain as a side effect of taking medication to treat lupus.

Selena has been open about her battle with the autoimmune disease since revealing she had the condition in 2015. She has since undergone chemotherapy and a kidney transplant, donated by her friend Francia Raísa, in a bid to treat the disease.

Common symptoms include inflammation, joint pain, rashes, and feeling tired, with anti-inflammatory medicines and steroids used as treatments. Selena is taking medication to manage her symptoms, and took to TikTok to detail some of their side effects, including the “water weight” that she gains.

She also took the time to reassure anyone else experiencing the same issues. Speaking to the camera, Selena said: “I tend to hold a lot of water weight and that happens very normally. When I'm off, I tend to lose weight.

“I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they're going through, and no one knows the real story, that you're beautiful and you're wonderful. We have days where maybe we feel like sh*t, but I would much rather be helpful and take care of myself. My medications are important and I believe that's what helps me. So yeah, not a model, never will be – but then I think they're awesome mind you – I'm just definitely not that.”

After delivering her uplifting message, Selena took it upon herself to hit back at anyone who was happy to shame another person over the appearance of their body. She said: “I just thought I'd tell you I love you guys and thanks for supporting me and understanding me. If not, then go away because I don't believe in shaming people for their body.”

Selena previously spoke out about her experience of being body shamed, and publicly defended herself in an Instagram Live broadcast last year. It came after the singer and actress attended the Golden Globes in a velvet Valentino gown. She said: “I'm a little bit big right now because I enjoyed myself during the holidays. But we don't care."
