Oscars -Hype is on Koortpitch prior to tonight's 97th Academy Awards.
For the nominees, of course, the chance to take a statue is the dream, but for each Participant of emerging Hollywood stars to Headliner-Filmster-The Red Carpet offers an unparalleled opportunity to show how beautiful, irresistible and employable they are.
Everyone wants to blind, not only for the multi-million global TV audience, but also the casting directors, agents and hotshot producers who will be on the ceremony and glittering afterparties.
Traditionally this is always achieved by an attack of pre-Ostrar make-overs months of intense training sessions, a well-timed dose of botox or filler, some lipo, even a subtle facelift.
But this year, for Oscars 2025, there is a new trend in the city.
Microdosing, or taking small amounts of Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight loss Jabs such as Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound is the very first way for celebrities to achieve that Awards-Night silhouette.
After all, extreme skinness is a way to notice yourself – although some may say that a handful of the female stars during the Screen Actors Guild Awards are in danger, not to make an impact, but to disappear completely!
It has become one of La's favorite gambling games: who pricks themselves to lose weight and who doesn't?
Rebel Wilson's Plus -Size was her calling card, but the actress, 44, has dropped 80 pounds since the start of Ozempic. The actress is depicted at the Fashion Awards in London in December.
Hollywood agents were reportedly shocked about her weight loss and were afraid that she would have lost her unique sales argument. She was depicted in 2014.
Stars such as Rebel Wilson, Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Osbourne and Kathy Bates have been open about the spectacular quantities they have lost on the drugs.
Rebel Wilson's Plus-Size was once her calling card, but the 44-year-old actress dropped 80 pounds in the course of a weight loss program that started in 2020 and a protein-rich diet, daily exercise and the use of Ozempic to reach its target weight of 11 stones 4LBS.
Her agents were reportedly shocked when their large star became a smaller one because she also lost her unique sales argument in addition to the weight.
Other stars are reluctant, especially those who were not overweight in the first place have no medical problems and are only microdoses to make the zipper on a tight size zero.
“Celebrities use these drugs for a little refresher course, to lose a few kilos, to fit in an outfit and not look swollen,” says the top Beverly Hills face surgeon Dr. Babak Azizzadeh.
Dr. Azizzadeh, co-founder of the online aesthetic health platform Persana, points out that he does not endorse any microdosing, but believes that there is no way to put the Ozempian genius back in the bottle: “In the past six months it has become a real, really big trend. I see it with my patients, just like colleague colleagues in the medical world and welfare space. '
Another leading plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Dr. Kelly Killeen, the Ozempische Bandwagon finds more.
“In my practice is a very high percentage of patients who arrive for procedures about these drugs and it is very surprising to me,” she says.
'I have people who are very, very thin and I ask them why they are the [weight loss] Medication and they tell me that they have to lose three to five pounds.
'You would be shocked about some stars that see this as a weight loss tool. They are already a completely normal weight and have no medical problems, but they are still scrambling to lose weight.
“Until we can be sure that bouncing and outside of these medicines does not harm people, I don't support it.”
Oprah Winfrey shows her new figure during the Golden Globe Awards in LA, January 2024.
New Slim Oprah at the Grammy Awards in February 2024.
Winfrey, can be seen here at the Toronto 2009 film festival, has been open about her use of Ozempic.
Indeed, the pharmaceutical industry and some diet medics say that there are still insufficient data on the effects of weight loss medicines on people with low BMIs or about the consequences of the use of off-label.
Even in Hollywood, where people are generally very open about aesthetic procedures, many remain tight lips about their use of GLP-1-Jabs.
'Some celebrities have been fair to be on [Ozempic] For large amounts of weight loss in combination with medical problems, and that is socially acceptable because society seems friendly to people in larger bodies who take steps to be smaller, “says Dr. Killing.
'While society does not look friendly to people who use weight loss drugs when they are already in smaller bodies. Those people are already adapting to the beauty standards of society. It is considered excessive.
'I certainly do not see the celebrities publicly allowing [that they’re using the drugs] For small amounts of weight loss. '
In Hollywood there is of course always in it, regardless of how many people talk about body positive.
Obesity specialist in Los Angeles Dr. Pooja Gidwani says she understands the attraction of a last-minute fall in the weight for a large event and it is certain that some A-Listers will use thick Jabs to shift the strange bulge for the Oscars. But she sounds a note of warning about the growing trend.
“Someone who wants to lose weight in a way that is good for their health should do it in the course of eight to ten weeks,” she says. “I like to tell my patients that losing 1.5 to 2 pounds is a good, steadily pace to lose weight.”
Obesity specialist in Los Angeles Dr. Pooja Gidwani, it is certain that some A-Listers will use thick Jabs to move the lump for the Oscars, but sounds a warning note about the growing trend.
Nor can microdosen ever be administered itself, she warns: 'Without the guidance of a doctor, users can see muscle loss, bone loss, shortages of nutrients, thinning hair and a crash of metabolism if you lose weight too quickly. You can get extremely cold and there may be changes in your hormonal profile.
'If you do not do weight loss in the right way, you will harm your chances for a long service life. The best way is to supervise a practitioner. '
But some experts claim that Ozempic and others GLP-1's are a healthier option than some extreme extremes that Hollywood has known in the past.
As a young actress, Judy Garland was put on amphetamine to keep her weight low, while Elizabeth Taylor, who described herself as a 'meat and potato girl', went on yo-diets all her life. Jane Fonda said she was bulimic until the age of 50.
More recently, Pop Star Lady Gaga and Actresses Lily Collins are among the many stars that have admitted to Bingeing and Purification when they were young to suit Hollywood's standard of beauty.
Dr. Gidwani says that these types of extreme measures are clearly dangerous, and that the use of Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy is perhaps safer.
She also points to other benefits of the medicines that are just on the rise.
“New research shows that these drugs can also increase mental clarity, reduce inflammation and help people tame their desires for more than just food,” she says.
'When these drugs were released, there was no microdosage. We have seen this trend quite recently because of these extra observed benefits. '
“It certainly happens, not only with celebrities and large events such as the Golden Globes or the Oscars, but with other people who want to lose weight for events such as a family brownice.”
Dr. Babak Azizadeh, who specializes in plastic surgery in the face, says he sees two different groups of patients about weight loss medicines in his Beverly Hills Clinic.
“Younger people with good skin elasticity still have bodies and faces that can handle a certain amount of weight loss,” he says.
But while she Doing Wants an ultra-lan body, he adds, they don't want a thin-looking face, so it has to pop up again: “They will come in and ask for relatively simple procedures such as fat transplantation [to the face]. '
Kathy Bates, who admitted that Ozempic in addition to diet and lifestyle changes to lose weight, showed off her slender figure during the SAG Awards in Los Angeles on February 23.
Bates, at a LA event in 2015, is one of the few stars that have been open about taking Ozempic.
For his older clientele it is a different story.
“Older people, especially women who have experienced the menopause, can see a noticeable decrease in face fat, sometimes called” Ozempic Face “.
'The number of facelifts I do on patents that have this condition has risen by 20 to 30 percent. Many women did not want facelifts before, but now they have a lot of sag and volume loss, and they are worried about it.
'If you are not obese and you lose a few extra kilos, you can suddenly look. It is a balancing act and I think microdosing is used for this. Individuals go, step off and then continue. '
Prior to last year's Oscars, Eli Lilly, the company that sells Zepbound-a brand name for Tirzepatide, a medication similar to Ozempic-Nam The extraordinary step of swearing thin and normal weight Hollywood stars for their obsession with weight loss medicines.
The pharmaceutical company obtained a TV advertisement that showed a shot of a shimmering gold dress and the red carpet, with a voice over that said: “Some people have used medicines that is never meant for them for the smaller dress or tuxedo, for a big night … But that's not the point.”
A year later, and tonight's red carpet will show whether Hollywood has taken a lot or some knowledge of that surprise.
