Celebrity Lorde shows off her genetic scientific Body Type Two (BT2) shape figure/physique while taking time off with friends and family. The full development of no less than her lumbar 
and sacrum vertebrae and related muscles/muscle mass is debatable. The candid images reveal possible skinny fat 
(cellulite, fat, normal weight obesity) on her love 
handles, stomach, and upper legs, no less, indicating she might have a slightly underdeveloped lumbar vertebra or several along with her sacrum; at least.
Science recognizes that one pound of muscle mass burns six calories daily, but one pound of regular fat (white fat/yellow fat/excess fat) and/or skinny fat only burns two to three calories daily. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and/or regular fat, the slower the metabolism). The mostly developed vertebrae, muscles, and muscle mass across the majority of her BT2 is an advantage that Body Type Three (BT3) and Body Type Four (BT4) human bodies (female or male) generally lack.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle, metabolic rate (BMR), and BMI matter. But so do genes/genetics/DNA. It will be interesting to see how well Lorde maintains her body shape figure/physique as she continues to age. Is she maybe a Body Type Three (BT3)?

Lorde Figure/Shape – BT2
Grammy Award-winning singing and songwriting musician Lorde displays her Body Type Two shape/figure during her time off. At the very young age of five, she joined a drama group to develop her 
public speaking skills, which influenced her songwriting. Scientifically identified as a gifted child at age 6, first, second, and third place showings at school in national speech and literature competitions led to her winning the annual talent show with her friend Louis McDonald in 2009. She also placed third in the North Shore Battle of the Bands (New Zealand) finals as a member of the Belmont Intermediate School band Extreme.
That same year, she and McDonald appeared on Radio New Zealand which culminated in her signing a development contract with Universal Music Group (UMG). In 2010, “Ella & Louis” performed covers live at local venues. The following year she performed her first original songs at the Victoria Theatre. A UMG-sponsored collaboration with musician Joel Little inspired The Love Club EP (extended play) which was eventually released commercially in 2013, peaking at number two in New Zealand and Australia.
The EP’s single Royals sold more than 10 million units worldwide, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Catapulting her to fame at age 16, she became the youngest artist to earn a number-one single in the United States since Tiffany in 1987. The song has been certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), winning two Grammy Awards for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year (also nominated for Record of the Year).
Grammy Award-Winning Singer, Songwriter, and Musician Lorde Body Type Two
Her debut studio album Pure Heroine followed in 2013 to positive critical acclaim, which included the song Royals. Selling more than four million copies to date, the 
album was Grammy Award-nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album. After inking a new publishing deal with Songs Music Publishing, she featured on The Hunger 
Games: Catching Fire soundtrack covering the hit Tears for Fears tune Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Moreover, she made the Time magazine list of the most influential teenagers in the world in 2013 and 2014, the Forbes 2014 list of 30 Under 30; and the Billboard 21 Under 21 list in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017.
So far, she has released four studio albums including Melodrama (2017, Grammy Award-nominated for Album of the Year and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 – her first number-one album on the chart), Solar Power (2021), and Virgin (2025). As of 2025, she has sold more than five million albums worldwide as well as 15 million certified single units in the United States. She was a music guest on NBC’s legendary late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL) in 2017. As well, she documented her 2019 journey to Antarctica in the book Going South (2021).
Lorde Body Shape
Lorde’s demanding music and live touring responsibilities along with diet, exercise, and lifestyle likely help with maintaining her body shape figure by increasing her metabolic rate, thus burning more calories to keep excess regular fat weight at bay. A self-proclaimed feminist, her philanthropy supports no less than the Songs for the Philippines (people suffering from Typhoon Haiyan), Batten disease (a fatal neurodegenerative disorder), The Art of Peace: Songs for Tibet II (preservation of the Tibetan culture), Starship Hospital (neurology monitors), and MusicHelps (helping New Zealanders vulnerable to or experiencing serious health issues). Currently single, she has been romantically linked to James Lowe and Justin Warren. She maintains dual citizenship in New Zealand and Croatia.
Her net worth is estimated to be $20 million. She is currently active on social media including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and X (Twitter). See more star singing and songwriting musician Lorde Body Type Two (BT2) photos on Google.
