Lilly said she thought about explaining that she did not want her body to be seen as a trend as it has always served an important function in her life as a friend, companion and queen, among other things.

On Wednesday, the 41-year-old actress shared several selfies of herself wearing a black cutout swimsuit and rocking a short haircut. She also shared a video of herself dancing in front of the mirror as well. In her caption, she admitted that she had recently been "feeling myself and my body in a new way."

"That day, bed-head, no make-up, sticky in the Hawaii heat, I felt connected to myself, my power and my beauty in way that felt unapologetic, grown and autonomous. I snapped some posey pictures, until a song swept me up in movement my favourite way to stretch, strengthen, feel and express!" Lilly wrote.

She added that as she was initially deciding on a caption, she thought about explaining that she did not want her body to be seen as a trend as it has always served an important function in her life as a friend, companion and queen, among other things. After deciding those feelings were just for her, she was inspired to still share them anyway.

"I saw a post by the lovely @georgia.clarke and it implored other women to pick up the call and to hashtag #mybodyisnotatrend," she explained. "So I am posting now, speaking out what I feel. I hope it implores you to feel your own beauty, in your own way, today and always, in the face of such great pressure. I am beautiful. You are beautiful. My body is not a trend."Fans took to the comments to praise Lilly for her transparency."This is why I look up to you so much.
