Transgender model Munroe Bergdorf has posed in Bluebella swimwear as part of its #LoveYourself campaign championing female empowerment. Munroe shared pictures on her Instagram of her wearing the Samar swimsuit in coral and white, plus the Ionian swimsuit and Caspian bikini from the MORE by Bluebella collection. She wrote: “I know I’m not alone in saying that I’m someone who has had a complicated relationship with their body, especially during the summer. Advertising selling us the dream of the perfect beach body is so damaging, especially when we as women come in an endless array of shapes, sizes, abilities and gender identities.”
“Personally, the beach has always been a difficult space to navigate,” she adds. “I spent so much energy trying to hide my body, that I forgot I deserve to enjoy it. My weight fluctuates. I have self-harm scars. I’m transgender. I get cellulite. But I deserve to feel the sun and sea on my skin during summer as much as anyone else! I refuse to let other people’s judgments of my body become how I see myself. Which is why I’m proud to support the @bluebella #Loveyourself campaign wearing my gorgeous Bluebella swimwear.”
Bluebella founder and CEO Emily Bendell said: “We love seeing Munroe looking so confidently beautiful in Bluebella swim on her recent beach trip. As Munroe so eloquently tells us, all women, whatever their age, shape or gender identity, should celebrate self-love on the beach this summer. You don’t have to do anything to be beach body ready apart from getting to the beach. That is what #LoveYourself is all about.”
