Former talk show host Ricki Lake has reworn an iconic dress she first wore to a film premiere 17 years ago.

The 55-year-old actor took to Instagram to show off the white mini dress, captioning the post, “Oh, this old thing?? Just had it hanging around 🥰.”

She adds, “Originally wore this dress to the Business of Being Born world premiere in 2007 and now here I am wearing it again in 2024!”

The post once again prompted comments about the “Hairspray” star’s alleged Ozempic use, with one user writing, “Ozempic is really working for you you’ve lost alot of weight.”

Last month, Lake shut down rumours that she used Ozempic for her 30-pound weight loss in the comment section of an Instagram post about her visit to NYC.

When one user commented, “That Ozempic face is real! Damn!!!” the star was quick to hit back at the accusation, writing, “NOPE!” in response.
