Katy Perry sparked renewed speculation about using the popular weight loss drug Ozempic after her appearance at iHeartRadio Q102’s Jingle Ball in Philadelphia. The 40-year-old pop star wore an eye-catching “Asymmetric Paneled Draped Sequin” gown by Alex Perry on the red carpet, showing off a noticeably slimmer waist. Later, she took the stage in a silver mini dress from Retrofête’s Spring 2025 collection.
Her red carpet look divided opinions online. Some fans felt she looked fine before, while others expressed concern about her appearance. One Facebook user commented that a lighter lipstick might improve her look, while another said, “She looks older indeed or maybe the make-up?” Several netizens suggested that her slimmer face was a sign of Ozempic use, a weight loss drug widely discussed in celebrity circles.
Despite the rumors, Katy Perry has previously denied using Ozempic. The medication, originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, has recently become a trend among celebrities for rapid weight loss.
During the event, Katy paired her silver mini dress with a Retrofête leather jacket and silver boots by Le Silla.
An insider told The Daily Mail that the key to Katy’s weight loss was not a drug but her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom. The source revealed that Katy enjoys savory and sugary foods but has recently adopted Orlando’s disciplined diet and exercise routine. She has cut out processed foods and reduced alcohol intake to prepare for upcoming shows supporting her new album.
“Orlando has been her right-hand man,” the insider said. “They eat the same and work out the same. She has been looking incredible because she is sticking to the new routine.”
Ozempic use has been a topic of debate as several celebrities, including Post Malone, Christina Aguilera, and Lizzo, have faced similar rumors. Katy’s recent Jingle Ball appearance continued to fuel this discussion among fans and critics alike.
