Kim Kardashian’s ultra-thin waist may have stolen the headlines when it came to dramatic body changes at last night’s Met Gala.
But a leading cosmetic surgeon told DailyMail.com that several other celebrities also appeared thinner and more emaciated than usual.
Social media users began calling the Gala the “Ozempic Olympics” and began exchanging theories about who had used the drug as a weight loss aid.
Dr. Gary Motykie, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, has revealed the four celebrities who may have used the drug in the lead-up to the event.
Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez is famous for being a renowned beauty with a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones.
But fans last night expressed concern for the 54-year-old, after some said she stepped out looking “haggard” and “really thin”.
Dr Motykie said it was possible his more “hollow” appearance was due to Ozempic’s weight loss. Although it could also be due to standard weight loss.
“I think a lot of these celebrities are under pressure to deliver on these big events,” he said, “so I think she’s a little suspect for dabbling with Ozempic.”
JLo was first hit with speculation that she might be wearing Ozempic last month after she posted a photo online of herself in a tight white dress.
Fans commented below the post, saying: “Are you losing weight?” and “How did you lose weight so quickly?”
It comes after her husband Ben Affleck was also hit with speculation he had used Botox and fillers to look younger.
Sources admitted he had undergone Botox and said he was “fed up” with looking old and tired.
King’s wool
Lana Del Rey is pictured above at the Met Gala last night and in Los Angeles in March of last year. She has lost weight and now she also has much less volume in her face, the surgeons said.
Pop singer and ‘Queen of Sadcore’ Lana Del Rey has seen her weight fluctuate over the years.
But many fans speculate that her recent weight loss, which occurred in less than a year, may be due to Ozempic.
Dr Motykie said he was “much more suspicious” that the star had used the weight loss drug compared to others at the Gala because her turnaround was so rapid.
He also suggested that she may have had an “Ozempic face” but then used fillers to try to restore some of the lost volume and appear more youthful.
“What often happens is that people lose weight on these medications and then think they look emaciated,” he said. “That’s when the fillers come in.”
‘Overall the results look very natural and she looks great. If you’re going to dabble, she’s doing it the right way.
Some viewers also pointed to the loss of volume in her facial features as a sign that she had used Ozempic.
One viewer commented: “I don’t know what version of Ozempic Lana del Rey got but GIVE IT TO ME,” while a second added: “I need Ozempic badly.”
Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel (2024, left and 2023, right) may have used Ozempic, the surgeons suggested, pointing out her smaller waist and the prominence of bones in her neck and shoulders.
Actress Jessica Biel says she bathed in 20 pounds of Epsom salts to lose enough water weight to wear her Met Gala dress.
But plastic surgeons have suggested she may also have received help from Ozempic to achieve a slimmer figure.
They pointed to her smaller waist as potential evidence that she had lost weight, comparing it to her last Gala appearance in 2013.
But surgeons said she has also always been “pretty slim” and in “good shape,” and Dr. Motykie said the toning of her arms suggests she exercises.
“Soaking in Epsom salts will take away some of the water weight, but it won’t shrink you into a dress,” she said, “because you’ll just put the water weight back on.”
“That makes me a little suspicious (of using Ozempic), but I’m also hesitant: she’s always been pretty slim and in pretty good shape.”
It was also suggested that she had used filler to give her face more volume and look younger.
Dr. Motykie also pointed out his neck, which appeared more sunken, which may suggest weight loss.
Epsom salts can help someone reduce their waistline slightly by helping draw moisture from the body.
But many doctors advise against using them for this purpose, saying they can cause dehydration, which can lead to multiple complications.

Kim Kardashian at the 2024 and 2023 Met Gala. Surgeons said her slimmer waist may be a sign of weight loss, which could be caused by Ozempic
The 43-year-old star’s waist appeared to have shrunk again at last night’s Met Gala after she emerged in an even slimmer dress.
Upon seeing her photographs, Dr. Motykie immediately said, “Ozempic waist!”
“Her waist looks slimmer than we’ve seen before,” he told DailyMail.com.
“Semaglutide like Ozempic can be an easy way to lose weight for a specific event, like the Met Gala.”
This is not the first time Kim has faced accusations from Ozempic over the Met Gala, after she was also accused of using the drug in 2022 to wear Marilyn Monroe’s dress.
To put on the garment, Kim revealed that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks.
He claimed this was achieved by avoiding carbs and simply eating vegetables and protein, as well as running on a treadmill and wearing a sauna suit twice a day.
