Just another reason to love Rebel Wilson!
That interesting angel-winged ensemble she sported onstage at the MTV Movie Awards had a purpose: to encourage girls and women to embrace their shape, and focus more on their minds than their bikini bodies.
The “Pitch Perfect 2” star strutted onto the stage rocking black leather pants (with the word “THINK” across her butt), paired with a bedazzled bra and giant white angel wings – a Victoria’s Secret Angel and VS brand PINK knockoff.

“The Bella girls are all different shape and sizes and nationalities,” Rebel told reporters in the Movie Awards press room, explaining her wardrobe choice. “I think one of the good messages in [‘Pitch Perfect’] is that you’re all beautiful.
“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,” she continued. “Even though they are called ‘models,’ they’re not the best people to model yourself after.”

As for why she chose “THINK” for her backside, Rebel said inner beauty is more important than outer appearance.
“I like to encourage girls to think, which is why I put that on my butt. It’s really about what’s up here and not what’s here,” she said, pointing to her head and then her backside.
“Pitch Perfect 2” hits theaters on May 15.
