Gina Rodriguez’s awesome body image outlook is awesome

Golden Globe-nominated “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez continues to establish herself as a delightful, refreshing new presence on the celebrity scene, and her latest comments about body image and beauty are only adding to that.

“I did not wake up like this,” she tells E! News of her red carpet looks. “But I do love what I look like when I do wake up in the morning. I have that balance to know that I’m comfortable in my skin the way God made me and then I’m also comfortable getting did and having fun and playing dress-up and knowing that those two are different and being comfortable in both. It’s very exciting. But also, we create body image. We’re the ones who create. We decide. Just like we decide trends, just like we decide everything in this world.” Sounds about right.
