Pink Reacts to No-Makeup Paparazzi Photo Criticism

So what? Pink doesn’t need much to be a rockstar.

The Grammy winner proved just that when a makeup-free photo of her walking around New York City went viral. In the Oct. 26 candid, Pink (real name Alecia Moore) donned a baggy, purple sweat set and a patterned headscarf as she carried her dog in a beige sling across her chest. 

“What is everyone talking about? I look HOT, and you can tell that’s what I was going for, too,” she wrote in an Oct. 27 Instagram Story. “I woke up and said ‘I am going to be serving LOOKS today.’ And I did that.”

The 47-year-old added in a separate smiling selfie, which showed her in a tank top and thick-rimmed glasses, “I look even better today.”

Indeed, Pink has never let others make her feel less than f–kin’ perfect. As she told her and husband Carey Hart‘s daughter Willow while accepting the Video Vanguard Award at the 2017 MTV VMAs, “Baby girl, we don’t change, we take the gravel and the shell and we make a pearl.”
