Lady Gaga on body confidence: 'A true Venus is beautiful at any size'

Lady Gaga has reiterated that women are beautiful at "any size".

The singer has spoken up for the acceptance of different body sizes in the past in an often skinny-orientated society.

Speaking in a new post on Instagram, the US star said that people shouldn't let the public decide what is beautiful or not.

She said: "A true Venus is beautiful at any size. #BodyRevolution Don't allow Society to tell you what beauty is. back when they first made painting and sculptors of the goddess she was represented as a round and fertile woman. It was in style to be thicker because food was a sign of money. Eat up children. Life is too short."

Gaga meanwhile has just touched down in Australia as she embarks on the latest leg of her ARTPOP Ball world tour.

The long run comes in support of her 2013 record 'ARTPOP'.
