‘Natural Not Fabricated’: As Lexi Thompson Makes an Honest Confession With an ‘Awkward’ Smile, Fans Join Forces to Motivate Her
On Sunday, an Instagram post from Lexi Thompson quickly went viral. Almost instantly, it had 2,360 likes (7,700 at last count) and 115 comments. The LPGA star is one of the most popular players in women’s golf. The reactions came along the expected lines.
Thompson’s recent post had nothing to do with golf though. It was a fashion photograph, where the 28-year-old was seen wearing a pair of blue denims and a black top. “When you don’t know how to pose so you just look awkward and smile,” Thompson posted underneath the picture.
Her fans jumped onto the post and the reactions have been positive. “Natural not fabricated,” wrote a fan. Another one tried to read between the lines and posted: “Regardless your smile says it all”. And a third one turned out to be even more impressed. “Great news, Lexi…you don’t need to know how to pose. You are absolutely stunning in every way!!!”
Apparently, Thompson considers herself an outlier as far as dress conventions are concerned. Two years ago, she sort of mocked the Ladies Professional Golf Association’s new dress code via a “Throwback Thursday” post.
