The 63-year-old Oscar nominee arrived in dramatic fashion wearing a strapless black Schiaparelli gown adorned with a crocodile-textured pattern and a sweeping white feathered train. Her freshly cut hair — now styled in a sleek, wavy bob — was brushed back to highlight her glowing complexion, complemented by soft blush, defined eyeliner, and a rosy lip.
While Moore’s look was undeniably glamorous, social media users quickly shifted the focus from her couture ensemble to her noticeably lean frame. After red carpet photos began circulating, several X users speculated about her weight loss, with some questioning whether she had used Ozempic.
“Is she on Ozempic?” one user asked, while others described her as “too skinny” and wondered if she looked different compared to last year. Another commenter quipped, “Is all of Hollywood on Ozempic?”
Some even referenced Moore’s 2024 body horror film The Substance, jokingly asking whether she had taken “the substance” herself — a nod to the fictional black-market drug her character uses in the movie to maintain youth. “Is she actually on the substance?” one person wrote, while another sarcastically added, “Food must be very expensive in LA.”
Representatives for Moore have not publicly addressed the speculation.
Although Moore is not nominated at this year’s Actor Awards, she dominated last year’s circuit thanks to her performance in The Substance, which earned her a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2025.
The red carpet appearance also follows a notable shift in Moore’s personal style. Known for her long, glossy black hair, the actress recently opted for a shorter, wavy bob — a significant departure from the look she had long associated with her identity.
In a 2022 interview with People, Moore reflected on her hair journey, saying she had experimented with everything from shaving it to dyeing it to cutting it into a bob for roles. Off set, however, she preferred to leave it largely untouched. “It’s stressful even having someone touch it,” she admitted at the time, explaining that she avoided heat styling and washed it sparingly.
She also shared that she had grown particularly attached to her long hair as she entered her 60s, partly as a quiet rejection of societal expectations placed on older women. Moore recalled hearing that women past a certain age “shouldn’t have long hair,” a notion she never accepted.
“Like who says?” she said, questioning arbitrary beauty standards. If her hair could grow and remain healthy, she saw no reason to cut it simply to conform. “I’m not comfortable with rules that don’t seem to have any real meaning or justification,” she explained.
Despite previously saying she would be “hard-pressed” to cut it short again — and joking that it was unclear how well it might grow back — Moore appears to be embracing a new chapter. Whether it’s her evolving hairstyle or her changing physique, the conversation around her latest appearance underscores how closely Hollywood icons remain scrutinized, even decades into their careers.
