Kylie Jenner Steps Out with a Strikingly Different Look That Has Fans Buzzing
Kylie Jenner turned heads when she arrived at the Wall Street Journal’s Innovators Awards last week, but it wasn’t her curve-hugging black gown by Rick Owens that had fans talking. The beauty mogul’s noticeably thinner face and arms sparked speculation that she has been using the popular diabetes medication Ozempic for weight loss.
Ozempic, along with similar drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, has become the latest craze in Hollywood, prized for its dramatic ability to suppress appetite and drop pounds. But experts warn the drugs can have serious side effects and should only be used under medical supervision.
In side-by-side photos of Kylie from just two months ago at the season four premiere of The Kardashians, her transformation is striking. “The Ozempic weight loss is actually shocking…” wrote one Reddit user who posted the comparison shots in the r/KUWTKsnark forum. Other commenters chimed in, noting Kylie’s loss of fat as well as muscle tone that gave her a “malnourished” look.
“She looks 10x better and much healthier before. God I hate body trends,” lamented another fan on the thread. It’s a sentiment echoed by many who worry the ultra-thin ideal espoused by the KarJenners leads fans to dangerous extremes.
But Kylie also had her defenders online. “That’s rude…she’s always been a thin girl,” argued one, while others focused their praise on her being honored at the ceremony.
The controversybrewing over her weight was not the only awkward moment for Kylie that night. Her interactions with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet also seemed off to some observers. Though the pair did not walk the red carpet together, once seated inside, their behavior struck some as strange for a couple.
“Do these two interact normally? They look so weird. The vibes are off. Not like a real couple,” critiqued one online. But others noted Timothée is a notoriously private person who shies away from public displays of affection.
Romance rumors first linked the young stars back in April 2022. By September, they were confirmed as an item when paparazzi caught them packing on PDA at a Beyoncé concert. But it seems fans are still adjusting to seeing the handsome Oscar nominee with a Kardashian.
While Kylie has yet to address the buzz over her weight loss or relationship, one thing is clear: her every move captivates. Perhaps we will learn more when she steps out on the next red carpet for fashion’s biggest night come spring. For now, the gossip continues to swirl around the beauty billionaire.
