The 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards were not just a showcase of cinematic talent but also a parade of surprising physical transformations. As the glitterati walked the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, many stars displayed significantly slimmer figures, fueling further discussions about Hollywood's current obsession with the weight-loss drug, Ozempic.
Oscar winner Kathy Bates was among those who openly credited Ozempic for her impressive 100-pound weight loss. Dressed in a sleek black suit, Bates was the epitome of transformation and health. Meanwhile, celebrities like Selena Gomez, Brooke Shields, Demi Moore, Ariana Grande, and Georgina Chapman also turned heads with their noticeably leaner appearances.
Social media buzzed with reactions from fans and onlookers. Tweets highlighting Demi Moore's and Selena Gomez's slimmed-down looks dominated online conversations. One fan remarked, "Demi Moore looking really skinny... #SAGAwards," while another noted, "Selena Gomez is skinny again."

However, the talk of the town was not just about the glamorous outfits but also the potential implications of such drastic weight changes. Speculations about Ozempic's role in shaping these transformations were rampant, with some fans expressing concern over the health of their favorite stars. Ariana Grande, for instance, was described by one social media user as "SOOOO skinny! Bones showing!"

The discussion around Ozempic and its popularity in Hollywood isn't new. The drug, initially prescribed for diabetes management, has been widely adopted for its weight-loss benefits, drawing both accolades for its effectiveness and criticism for potentially promoting unrealistic body standards.
As stars like Brooke Shields and Sheryl Lee Ralph, who has denied using Ozempic, showcased their transformed figures, the debate over the ethical and health implications of such drugs in the celebrity world continues to grow. The SAG Awards provided not just a glimpse into the professional achievements of these actors but also a stark look at the physical pressures prevalent in today's entertainment industry.
