I’ve just seen this clip of them at the Brits. How do they think that this looks good? I find it so sad that they both felt the need to do this to their faces, because the perception now is that women aren’t able to age?
This isn’t woman bashing women. People can do what they like, but this is grotesque.

Is that real or AI? If it’s real, it’s shockingly sad.

Thecows · 01/03/2026 21:17

It was real, on TV last night, absolutely shocking

marcyhermit · 01/03/2026 21:19

I think it's more ozempic and probably grief leading to extreme weight loss rather than cosmetic surgery.

CharlotteRumpling · 01/03/2026 21:20

Not sure which is which. I am not trying to be mean.

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 01/03/2026 21:20

I assume as they have lots weight, the tweaked bits haven’t reacted the same as the rest of them. Kelly's eye make up was stunning. It shocks me that with the best health care, they haven’t been supported as needed.

TomatoSandwiches · 01/03/2026 21:20

This is grief imo, not plastic surgery. Kelly especially has lost a lot of weight since her pa died and I won't make any other comments about her appreance.

Plankton89 · 01/03/2026 21:22

Think Kelly had buccal fa removal pre weight loss jabs. So the post weight loss jabs cheeks have become very sunken. And the hair and eye styling are more severe than usual. She usually looks a lot softer.

CatsAreBetterThanMen · 01/03/2026 21:28

I didn't even recognise Kelly Osborne, she looks like Courtney Love's anorexic older sister. What the Hell has happened to our society? It's really gone down the crapper. I feel very depressed by the sort of women that are constantly in the public eye and the utterly horrendous example they are setting for our young girls. These people are so obviously deeply mentally ill and the cult of body modification and the worship of eternal youth is just sickening. These two are extreme examples but for me I hate the fact that just about every woman on or screens over the age of 40 has had a neck lift, even the ones that pretend to be ageing "naturally" that have a few lines and some silver highlights, and that everyone from the next door neighbour to the miscellaneous lady on the supermarket checkout has had their teeth capped in Turkey or their face lifted in Romania. The British used to be better than this, there is no substance to anyone any more, just a shiny, plastic facade over a bottomless pit of insecurity and self obsession.

Planner2026 · 01/03/2026 21:30

Over/mis/ inappropriate use of Ozempic has developed into anorexia, I suspect.

noctilucentcloud · 01/03/2026 21:37

Sadly I think there's several women in the public eye who have become very thin since WLI became common place. I think it is spawning eating disorders when it's misused and I think we're going to see more of it until it's more tightly regulated. It's very sad and feels as if we've gone back to the unhealthy images of 30 years ago to me.

Cherry8809 · 01/03/2026 21:39

Kelly’s recent dramatic weight loss is much less to do with surgery and WLI’s than it is to do with grief.

WhereIsMyLight · 01/03/2026 22:07

I find it so sad that they both felt the need to do this to their faces, because the perception now is that women aren’t able to age?

It’s not just about age. Both women have been subject to comments about their looks for decades. Kelly in particular has had comments about her weight, her looks and even that her looks signal how much intelligence she has. She has lived with these comments throughout all her formative years. Every time she has lost weight, people have commented and said her face is too angular, she’s gone too far, she’s anorexic. Then when she inevitably puts on weight, she’s fat, she’s lazy, she’s ugly. She has never managed to find the right weight that mean she can escape judgement. The right weight to mean she might be considered beautiful. She has never been able to be at peace with how she looks. She has never been allowed that privilege.

Maybe it’s WLI drugs. Maybe it’s plastic surgery. Maybe it’s grief. Maybe all three. Does it matter? I find it utterly heartbreaking that even now, people still need to make comments. Obviously, this isn’t ideal for young girls and women but there are better ways for us to be telling young girls and women that they don’t need to be holding themselves to unrealistic beauty standards than calling someone who has never been allowed to just be themselves, grotesque.

How do they think that this looks good?
Well, if it is grief, grief rarely looks good on anyone. If it is WLI and cosmetic surgery, how can you have any idea of what looks good when every look you’ve tried has always been criticised?

Silverbirchleaf · 01/03/2026 22:12

I wouldn’t have known it was Kelly O if I hadn’t seen it mentioned on the Brits thread. She looked so different, and anorexia instantly came to my mind when I saw her. She looked so thin and ill.

DangerQuakeRhinoSnake · 01/03/2026 22:16

It's sad. They were so down to earth, or at least appeared to be in their reality show. Would never have predicted this in their future.

I get that people grieve but they did also look like this before Ozzy died.

ColdAsAWitches · 01/03/2026 22:19

This isn’t woman bashing women.

It really, really is. Do you know how you could have made it not woman-bashing? Not making a post that is 100% all about describing two women as looking grotesque.

TempestTost · 01/03/2026 22:23

I was quite shocked at the weight loss on Kelly - Sharon might be as bad but she has more clothes on. It's clear from her arms she is emaciated. Much like the three actresses from Wicked - it's not just loss of fat, it looks like loss of muscle, which is really serious. Especially in middle aged and older women.

I think we are at the beginning of seeing very serious problems with the new weight loss drugs in Hollywood and that means soon enough it will be outside of Hollywood too. There was a thread just the other day where the majority seemed to think it was fine to lie about one's weight in order to get a prescription.

Wildviolet · 01/03/2026 22:28

Sharon and Kelly both had a gastric bypass many years ago and are now also using wli.
Both have also had facial surgery and lip fillers.
The results are extreme to say the least.

greenteaandlimes · 01/03/2026 22:29

It really is terribly sad. I am sad for them, for whatever inside them has driven them to this. Sad for all other women, who may feel internal or external pressure to do these sorts of things too.

Babsandherwabs · 01/03/2026 22:30

Aren’t allowed to age?? Kelly’s aged about 30 years. She’s certainly unwell in some way, I hope she gets better.

Weight is only one aspect of beauty i.e. being the right weight does not make you beautiful, isn't it genes?

KaleQueen · 01/03/2026 22:32

Don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these threads when someone has put ‘on’ weight. Yes I saw it. Yes I didn’t recognise her. Yes she looked thin. But as she said in her statement- comments on it are just another form of body shaming. And we all hate body shaming on here, right? Or does that only apply to body shaming fat people?

Bbq1 · 01/03/2026 22:35

Cherry8809 · 01/03/2026 21:39

Kelly’s recent dramatic weight loss is much less to do with surgery and WLI’s than it is to do with grief.

Kelly looked like this a couple of years ago, well before Ozzy sadly passed away so I don't think it's grief causing this. Undoubtedly, she is grieving but that isn't the cause of how she looks.

Coffeeishot · 01/03/2026 22:35

Sharon has said before, that she went too far on the weight loss injections and because she is in her 70s she has no muscle tone, also she was on a show before ozzy died and said her last face lift left her looking like shit ! So i think Sharon knows what she looks like. Kelly has said it is grief that is making her look the way she is.

It's not "body shaming", it's seeing people deliberately do damage to healthy bodies, and talking about a trend toward this among the rich and famous, the people emulated by many others.

wheresthesnowgone · 01/03/2026 22:40

That's near starvation, not normal weight loss. They both look an absolute fright and I'm not even sure that's really even Kelly.
