Rebel Wilson hits out at Victoria's Secret with positive body message at MTV Movie Awards
The Pitch Perfect star dressed up in Angel wings with the word 'think' emblazoned on her bum.
Rebel Wilson attended the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday with a message for her fans.
The actress took to the stage to present a clip from the upcoming Pitch Perfect 2 film, but it was her outfit that did all the talking.
Dressed in giant white angel's wings, an embellished bra and leather pants with the slogan 'think' on the bum - no prizes for guessing Wilson's outfit inspiration.
Backstage she explained her motivation to People:
“I think one of the good messages in the movie [Pitch Perfect 2] is that you’re all beautiful" she explained.
"I think sometimes girls look at Victoria’s Secret models and think that they have to model themselves after that, but I really don’t think that’s the best, even though they are called ‘models,’ they're not the best people to model yourself after."
"I like to encourage girls to think, which is why I put that on my butt. It’s really about what’s up here [points to head], and not whats here [points to backside].”

Show all 9Wilson's message has been echoed in recent weeks elsewhere in the industry with plus-size retailer Lane Bryant taking aim at Victoria's Secret with its new campaign 'I'm No Angel'.
