People will always point out some flaw when it comes to a celebrity showing off their confidence! That’s why we’re here to showcase that confidence in a beautiful light that can really promote self-love and positivity that we all need. Sometimes accepting our flaws and not caring what other people think is the best thing to do. All of these celebrities are strong women who are constantly told not to be confident in what they wear. Just because an independent woman is in the spotlight doesn’t mean you can point fingers at something that makes you uncomfortable because of your own insecurities. Get over it! These women have overcome a lot to be where they are today. They’ve made an impact on the world, sometimes making mistakes, but working hard and definitely not letting any stupid comments ruin their summer fun at the beach! They’re inspiring individuals whose bikini’s are super cute! If you want to show off and rock what you got at the beach, then no one should stop you from doing so, no matter what size or shape you are. People just need to grow up and start loving themselves. Here are 15 celebs who have faced a lot of hate online because of what they wear (aka bikinis)!

15 Jennifer Lawrence

We know her as the strong fighter Katniss from the Hunger Games, and she is bringing that fight to feminism as she sports this patterned bikini. People have constantly hated on Jennifer Lawrence because she doesn’t have a petite frame like most in Hollywood. She has a bit more weight on her and that's one hundred percent her choice! There’s nothing wrong with the body you’re in and no one, not even critics, should be able to bring you down just because you have a different body type than other women do. What is wrong with people?! Jennifer Lawrence has made a huge impact on feminism in our current society, showing us that girls don’t have to be quiet and reserved like the old days (which is total B.S. by the way), but that women can do whatever the heck they want and that’s just how it should be! She will always be a feminist icon even when at the beach!

14 Lucy Hale

The Pretty Little Liars star is also a singer and has grown up to be an experienced star who knows exactly what she wants out of her career. Ever since she started publicly singing, she has been ridiculed for her body by people who have nothing better to do than just sit around and mope all day. She has gone through so much when trying to love her body. When she was younger, she suffered from an eating disorder and it changed her life. Now she is a fully recovered woman and is taking steps each day towards loving her body and who she is as a person. Lucy Hale has endured everything you can imagine when it comes to battling with ignorance online. She’s stood up tall in the fight against her haters and she won’t let that stop her from rocking a bikini this summer to the beach! Rock on, Lucy Hale!

13 Hailey Baldwin

Hailey Baldwin has constantly been popping up in the news lately because of her modeling career. She’s always in the spotlight and people always talk negatively about her body. While she does receive a lot of support, sometimes hate can really mess with a person’s confidence even if most of the attention is positive. She’s been constantly working hard to reach her career goals, which as we all know, can be tough as a women and usually takes extra work to be dedicated to our goals. But she does it on a daily basis and it’s honestly inspiring! Hailey Baldwin has embraced her body and honestly people should take some notes. She’s so confident in everything she does and nothing can knock her down from her new found goals and confidence within herself and her body. I know she’s inspired me to embrace what I have! What about you?

12 Katy Perry

Of course we all know Katy Perry, and I’m sure we all also know that she gets a lot of criticism because of her very outgoing style and performances. She has been teased because of the way she looks and whenever she decides to change her appearance she is seriously just faced with hate. When she changed her classic dark black hair bob to a blonde pixie cut, she was met with hate from across the world. It’s like just because she changed her hair she deserves so much hate from her fans, acting like she betrayed them in some way! Katy Perry has proven she can wear and look however and whatever she wants. She doesn’t need to listen to the haters. She just needs to embrace herself as a whole and never apologize for wanting to experiment and try other styles that are a bit different from her own. How can you blame a creative person for wanting to try something different?!

11 Nicole Scherzinger

Nicole Scherzinger has been in the spotlight for a very long time. She built her career from the ground up as she sang and performed in bands such as The Pussycat Dolls. She’s gotten a ton of flak for her physical appearance because of how much she performs with her body on stage. It’s not necessary to spread so much negativity. If you don’t enjoy a performance or a singer's concert, then just leave or don't talk about it and don’t spread the toxic vibes! Nothing can stop her from being herself and that’s highly respectable. I look up to women like this who constantly show us again and again that they can’t be put into a box. More people should follow in her footsteps! She’s confident, sure of herself, and always looking for ways to improve the world around us. What could you complain about? She’s just herself and that’s a very beautiful thing!

10 Meghan Markle

This powerhouse of a woman known as Meghan Markle has really made a huge impact in the world for women. She received the honor of working with United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, and she has also talked about the importance of feminism and the change that needs to happen in the world around us. Besides being a spokesperson and activist of sorts, she is a successful TV actress and is currently starring on Suits. She has endured so much hate and negativity for the way that she looks and she learned to take all that stuff in stride and brush off whatever nonsense comes her way. No one can stop this woman when it comes to embracing herself, even when in a bikini! I hope that she continues to do wonderful things with her fame and keeps fighting the good fight when it comes to feminism and advocating equality because she is awesome and inspiring!

9 Emma Stone

Emma Stone is back wearing an all black bathing suit that showcases her body for all to see. When this photo was published, people didn't compare her to other celebrities... but they did compare this particular picture to previously taken photos of her! Talk about tough -- being compared to yourself! People said that the difference in her body is striking and that she looks so much hotter now. Ouch! That is gross and completely upsetting. She is beautiful at all times, not just when she is all glammed up for a photo shoot. I think that we all just need to learn to stop comparing individuals, even if it’s with their past selves! Just embrace what you have and let people find their confidence. What’s the point of bringing each other down for no reason?! Just let it go and love yourself and support other women instead of spreading hate to all of those around us. Catfights are overrated!

8 Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen has even been a Sports Illustrated model and she still receives hate from men all over the world because of her body! People often claim that she’s too provocative because of her curves or that she just wants too much attention. First of all, women should embrace their own body types, curvy or not. Each one is beautiful and there's no wrong type of body to have. Secondly, why is is bad if a women wants attention? Men want attention all the time yet they aren’t called out on it to be made to look like an idiot! Chrissy Teigen has and will continue to make a difference just because of her sheer confidence with herself. We need more of this in the world! Chrissy Teigen has never held back when it comes to showing off her body, she’s never been afraid to be herself and enjoy what makes her happy and fulfilled. Can you blame her? She basically runs the modeling world, she has no time for the dumb hate on social media!

7 Emily Ratajkowski

Emily Ratajkowski has been one of the most hated models I’ve seen... for something so trivial and stupid! She has been hated for her lack of curves! That’s it, that’s seriously why! She has experienced countless attacks because she is a model with no curves because, apparently, “curves are in!" This strong woman keeps fighting her own fight and working for brands that would make anyone super envious! Let the haters just hate, she knows what she’s doing and no one can stop her from achieving her goals. Don't even try! Emily Ratajkowski has endured so much throughout her career, she deserves to flaunt what she’s got in her bikini without facing the hate and judgement from those around her. Let her be and let her live her life exactly how she wants to. Just like how you want to live yours without people butting in to tell you you’re doing something wrong!

6 Halsey

The singer-songwriter has an edgier style that ends up pushing people’s buttons for some reason. People just don’t have anything else better to do other than criticize someone’s body and the way they look. Sometimes I can’t even believe it! From her crazy purple hair to her outgoing fashion, Halsey has received a ton of hate about her music and how she chooses to showcase herself. Little do those haters know, but she’s more sure of herself than ever! She has taken steps to become comfortable with herself, even when she's wearing a bikini! Now that’s the kind of confidence that I need in my life and I think you would totally agree! Halsey will continue to flourish in her career as she moves through life, nothing can stop her, not even the haters that seem to try to get her attention every minute they can! #GoHalsey

5 Lindsay Lohan

While she might not be everyone’s favorite celerity, Lindsay Lohan has gone through a lot in the past few years. She has been marked as a mess by many individuals in the press and in Hollywood, but when it comes down to it, she’s been trying to step away from fame for years and when she finally did people just swarmed her and attacked her online and whenever she was in public. People wanted to make her look a lot worse than she actually was for years. It wasn’t fair to her and all she’s worked for. If we just take a second to look past all the stories and lies that have been curated around this woman, I think we could remember that we all make mistakes in our lifetime. It's totally normal. Why should that make Lohan worse than us? Guess what, it doesn’t! We all make mistakes and we all have the right to dress how we want!

4 Courtney Stodden

Courtney Stodden has time and time again received so much hate, it’s pretty insane! She’s a model, actress, singer, and animal rights activist. She received a ton of hate when she married 50-year-old actor Doug Hutchison. She’s made tons of progress towards her career goals and is constantly working on what she can do to be better and better at what she does every day. She gets criticism because of how she looks and how she chooses to dress, which by the way is totally her choice and just because someone wouldn't dress the way that she would, that doesn't mean that they have a right to an opinion! This woman has been through hell and back when it comes to online bullying and how people treat her through social media. This is something that I’m sure we’ve all unfortunately encountered at least once. I think it’s important to note that this woman has made and continues to make a huge difference in her community. Let her live her life!

3 Snooki

The reality TV star has experienced some serious cyberbullying over the years. Snooki has got a reputation when she starred on Jersey Shore and apparently that experience has followed her even though she’s not that intense version of herself in everyday life! This proud mother has fought hard to be herself and be there for her children. While many people have whispered horrible things behind her back or online because she has a child and was known for being a party animal, that's seriously uncool. Having people insult your physical appearance could seriously undermine your confidence, but Snooki is better than that and she is a super strong woman in Hollywood. She is the kind of person that you can't stop because she's going to put up a fight. She will do anything she can to make a difference in the world because as a mother -- that’s just what you do. You try to make the world a better place for your child. Snooki is a great role model.

2 Britney Spears

One of the most influential women ever, always creating amazing music and being her unapologetic self at all times. That includes when she wears a bikini! Britney Spears has been making music for over a decade and she still has people who are hating on her because of physical appearances. She has the right mindset and pays them no attention whatsoever. She will always be herself and nothing can stop her from reaching her success goals and wearing whatever she wants to wear. Britney Spears has always made a ton of noise when it comes to what she spends her time creating. She’s a genius when it comes to music and fashion and she doesn’t let her lack of curves get in the way of that special expression. Even when it comes to hanging out on the beach in her bikini! Just be yourself and love yourself like Britney Spears! Total goals!

1 Iggy Azalea

While she might not be everyone’s favorite person. Iggy Azalea still deserves to redeem herself and not get hated on by people who seriously just attack her for her body. While she might not have the ideal body people generally want in Hollywood, she has done what has made her personally happy. Honestly, who are we to judge?! Just take a step back and slide into someone else's shoes for a moment! Would you want people calling you out on your body at all times, especially on social media? I know I wouldn’t! I think Iggy should just be able to live her life in peace and just embrace herself without being so defensive and apologetic at all times like she comes off as on Twitter. Maybe with a bit of self-care and love she can come back to her normal self and embrace her style and what she has going on in her life.
