Celebrity Insights: Hollywood Doctors Share Which Celebrities are Using Ozempic at the Met Gala

The official theme of Monday night’s Met Gala may have been a celebration of black history, but many viewers couldn’t help but notice another recurring motif: Some of the world’s biggest stars were stepping out with noticeably slimmer frames and whittled waistlines.

‘What stood out across the board this year was the trend toward a lean, elegant, and natural-looking physique,’ board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gaurav Bharti told the Daily Mail. ‘It’s clearly the trending aesthetic at the moment.

‘It’s highly likely that many in Hollywood are using Ozempic, or similar GLP-1 agents, even in a microdose format.’

Miracle weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro have stormed into the spotlight in recent years, hailed as potential game-changers in the battle against America’s obesity crisis.

But long before these skinny shots became available to the masses, they were already Hollywood’s worst-kept secret – quietly used by celebrities looking to slim down fast behind the scenes.

Based on photos from Monday’s big night in New York City, multiple plastic surgeons revealed to the Daily Mail which A-listers at the Met may have turned to weight-loss drugs to achieve their red-carpet look…

Nicole Scherzinger

The former frontwoman of the Pussycat Dolls made her Met debut this year in a sparkly pinstripe gown designed by Prabal Gurung, as she embraced the ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ theme of the night.

While many were left in awe of her outfit, some eagle-eyed fans began to raise questions about her stunning weight loss and wondered if she was suffering from so-called ‘Ozempic face’. 

The term – coined by Dr Paul Jarrod Frank, a cosmetic and celebrity dermatologist – refers to the emergence of lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and sunken eyes due to drastic and sudden weight loss.

New York-based plastic surgeon Dr Jimmy Sung, however, said that Scherzinger’s face still looked perfect: ‘Nicole was able to achieve a healthy weight loss ahead of the Met, likely with the help of GLP-1. 

‘She is blessed with beautiful, dark skin, which naturally has more collagen and fat. Thus, she did not experience the deflated look some patients experience.’ 

Additionally, Dr Sung recommended: ‘For those planning to start GLP-1, it is a good idea to begin banking their collagen before and throughout the process.’

The singer herself has never commented on taking Ozempic.  

Mindy Kaling 

Mindy Kaling continued to show off her incredible weight loss transformation as she arrived at last night’s event – further fueling Ozempic speculation. 

In 2023, Kaling said she lost 40lbs and it attributed her success to physical exercise, sharing that she runs 20 miles each week and weight lifts with her trainer. 

Now, Dr Bharti suspects the star has been using a weight loss drug as she continues to stay mum on fan rumors of using Ozempic or other weight-loss drugs.

‘It’s likely that Mindy Kaling has incorporated agents like Ozempic into her routine to prepare for the Met Gala [as she] shows a noticeable transformation since her last major public appearances,’ he told DailyMail.com. 

However, Kaling has previously said that her new physique is only a result of her intense training. 

‘I wish there was something more juicy or dynamic about the way that I’ve lost a little bit of weight,’ she told PEOPLE, ‘but that’s the way I’ve done it.’

Nicole Kidman

The Oscar-winning actress not only stunned her fans with a slick pixie cut but also with a dramatic transformation. 

The Australian actress, 57, stepped out in a black backless gown and flaunted her toned arms and back. 

However, ardent viewers were left worried about her visible spine and protruding shoulder bones – wondering if the Babygirl actress was taking Ozempic. 

Dr Bharti explained to the website: ‘Nicole Kidman has maintained her signature slim figures for years. 

‘It’s likely that medications like Ozempic, paired with lifestyle and dietary changes, are playing a role here. 

‘Use of these agents in a sustainable fashion can lead to amazing transformations that are long-term, sustainable, and look elegant.’

Priyanka Chopra 

The Citadel actress has also sparked rumors of Ozempic use after appearing astonishingly leaner on the blue carpet last night. 

Similarly to Kidman, Dr Bharti suspects that she too has been using the drug in microdoses, paired with lifestyle changes.

Microdosing Ozempic is where you take less than the prescribed amount – or an amount smaller than the smallest dose available. 

The standard dosage amounts of Ozempic are 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg, injected once a week. 

Typically, those looking to microdose on the drug take 0.25 mg once a week for four weeks. 

Unlike her counterparts, Chopra has not shown any signs of sagging on her face or thinning skin – prompting Dr Bharti to believe she may may be taking the drug in microdosed amounts. 

‘Priyanka Chopra appears to be leaner than recent images, likely indicating potential Ozempic use paired with physical training and a consistent diet,’ he noted. 

Vera Wang  

The famed bridal couture designer, 75, has been at the center of speculation as she continues to show signs of Ozempic face during recent appearances. 

Despite her already lean figure, Wang’s sagging face, drooping eyes and her visible neck bones have left experts concerned about her health. 

Dr Bharti said: ‘Vera Wang has historically been fairly lean, but does look even slimmer compared to her past photos. 

‘This can occur with general aging, but can also suggest the use of medications like Ozempic. In non-obese patients, noticeable weight loss can result in skin that loses its turgor, causing it to appear deflated or lax.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to all of celebrities for a comment.
