#everyBODYisflawless is a music video featuring American plus-size fashion bloggers and models Gabi Gregg, Nadia Aboulhosn and Tess Munster, lip-synching to Beyoncé's 2013 song "Flawless". The video was released on May 7, 2014. It was created by Gregg to promote body positivity and acceptance in response to harassment.
Gabi "GabiFresh" Gregg was inspired to create a new version of Beyoncé's 2013 "Flawless" after receiving discrimination due to her body size. She decided to recreate the video to include larger bodies by recruiting and collaborating with fellow plus-size fashion bloggers and models Nadia Aboulhosn and Tess Munster to film the video.
Partly inspired by Beyoncé's decision to keep her entire self-titled album Beyoncé a secret until it was released, Gregg kept the video project a secret until its release. Gregg hopes that people support her campaign by using the hashtag and sharing the video.
Gregg said, "...This video is dedicated to the mainstream media, to the fashion industry, to internet bullies, and to anyone else who thinks it's their right to try to make us feel less than because of their insecurities." Aboulhosn said, "For me, this video is to show all of my followers that you define your definition of beauty..." Munster said, "This is OUR way of giving an 'eff you' to the critics that say we promote obesity, that we have no place in the fashion industry."
Gregg added: "As someone who gets my fair share of negativity in my industry, I thought the message was definitely applicable. I just wanted to do something fun that was also empowering women to give a middle finger to a fat-phobic society." Aboulhosn added: "All three of us are feminists, and we really wanted to get across the fact that we can all empower each other and work together in an industry that is so competitive. We aren't here to compete with each other; instead, we are here to uplift one another, especially because we have similar struggles in a world that isn't very accepting of us." Munster mused, "I want women, young girls to see this and realize that we are perfect the way we are, "to push back to the 'standards' that society tries to place on us and [realize] that we are so much stronger together."
The video was styled and produced by Gregg, and directed by Helton "Brazil" Siqueira. Gregg and Munster both live in the Los Angeles area and Aboulhosn flew in for a few days for the shoot. It took a month after that to finish the editing process with Siquiera.
The introduction reads: 'Fat is not a flaw'. It then segues into a music video featuring Gregg, Aboulhosn and Munster lip-synching and dancing to Beyonce's track. The clip shows the trio recreating the Beyoncé video in a wardrobe of sequins, shorts and crop-tops. The video ends with a Huffington Post comment: "Regardless of how people's metabolism function, or what they look like, each of us deserves respect, compassion, and can't be judged by anyone but themselves." It also uses the same excerpt by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie from the original.
The video was uploaded on Vimeo on May 7, 2014.[citation needed] It was released two weeks after Beyoncé released her Pretty Hurts video and, subsequently, the #WhatIsPretty campaign, which asks fans to upload images and quotations that define what beauty means to them.
