Netizens have a lot to say about Kelly Osbourne’s recent appearance at an industry event, with many comparing her to her dad and instantly noticing her weight loss, which the star addressed last year.
TV and media star Kelly Osbourne, 40, turned heads at the Clarins ICONS Event in Los Angeles on March 21, 2025. She looked like a show-stopper in a striking gown that perfectly balanced elegance with modern flair. However, most netizens paid closer attention to her physical appearance, observing how she has lost weight, which many claim makes her look more like her legendary dad, Ozzy Osbourne.
Kelly exuded confidence and sophistication in a bold pink-and-black striped gown that turned heads the moment she stepped onto the red carpet. The sleeveless dress featured structured black ribbon shoulder straps, adding an element of soft femininity to the edgy color-blocked design.
The fitted bodice accentuated her toned frame, while the floor-length skirt, adorned with sleek horizontal stripes, created a dramatic visual effect.
Her beauty look complemented the ensemble perfectly. Kelly’s platinum blonde locks were styled in a voluminous half-up, half-down hairstyle, secured with what appeared to be a large black bow that echoed the detailing on her dress.
Kelly’s makeup was nothing short of stunning — her smoky black eyeliner and shimmering eyeshadow accentuated her eyes, while a glossy nude lip added a fresh, modern touch.
Accessorizing with delicate, small gold hoop earrings and a dainty necklace, the media personality allowed her gown to remain the focal point while subtly elevating her overall look. Completing the ensemble with classic black pointed-toe heels, Kelly maintained an air of effortless elegance.
With her poised stance and striking presence, Kelly undeniably commanded attention at the event. However, it wasn’t just her glamorous fashion choices that had fans talking — it was her noticeably slimmer figure, which quickly became a major topic of discussion online.
In addition to comments about her noticeable weight loss, many pointed out her evolving resemblance to her father, Ozzy.
A netizen remarked, “It’s wild how much more she looks like Ozzie [sic] now that she’s thin.” Echoing a similar sentiment, another person observed, “She looks just like her Dad.” “She looks like her dad 😳,” reiterated yet another spectator.
Some were taken aback by the dramatic change, with one person stating, “Omg she looks completely different.”
Others debated how the weight loss affected her overall appearance. A Facebooker opined, “She doesn’t look bad, it’s just that she lost a lot of weight and it makes her look older. Good for her!”
Meanwhile, another person commented in disbelief, “Oh wow! THATS [sic] Kelly Osbourne? Like Ozzy’s daughter?? She is utterly unrecognizable!”
A critical voice questioned, “That’s Kelly?doesn’t even look like her. how many plastic surgeries did she have? did she get a whole face transplant? so sad [sic].”
“She lost too much weight,” asserted a netizen. The flood of reactions made one thing clear — Kelly’s transformation did not go unnoticed.
Netizens are not the only ones who have addressed the star’s weight loss, as Kelly herself has long been open and honest about her weight journey.
In 2024, she sat down with Extra TV to set the record straight about the methods she used to achieve her 85-pound weight loss following the birth of her son, Sidney.
“I know everybody thinks I took Ozempic, I did not take Ozempic. I don’t know where that came from. My mom took Ozempic,” Kelly revealed in the interview, addressing the widespread speculation surrounding the popular weight loss drug.
Kelly’s decision to shed the pregnancy weight stemmed from a serious health concern. The star explained that she had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy, which left her at a higher risk of developing diabetes if she didn’t make significant lifestyle changes.
“I cut out sugar and carbohydrates, and I rapidly lost weight,” she shared. However, her transformation wasn’t just about shedding pounds — it also involved targeted treatments to tone and sculpt her body after pregnancy.
In the Extra TV segment, a clip showed Kelly visiting a doctor’s office, where she underwent a popular tone-up treatment to tighten the skin around her face and body.
“I really wanted to tighten the skin around my neck and under my chin. I had the baby, and my stomach got so many stretch marks and the skin, it looks like it lost its elasticity,” she admitted.
A specialist, Dr. Glynis Ablon, explained the technology behind Kelly’s chosen treatment, EMSCULPT NEO, describing it as an advanced procedure that mimics the effects of 20,000 sit-ups or squats by contracting the muscles and firming the skin. “It’s like doing yoga for the face,” the doctor noted.
Kelly described the procedure as an unusual yet effective sensation, stating, “It’s the most insane sensation —” before the doctor interjected to clarify, “But not pain.”
Confirming the experience was completely comfortable, Kelly assured the public that it wasn’t painful. She also underwent EMFACE, a non-invasive facial contouring treatment, and expressed satisfaction with the results. “The results are incredible. 100% will be coming back,” she said enthusiastically.
While Kelly previously dismissed speculation that she used Ozempic for her weight loss, she previously shared a more nuanced perspective on the controversial drug.
During an episode of The Osbournes podcast in March 2024, Kelly opened up about how her opinion on the diabetes medication-turned-weight-loss-drug had shifted over time.
“I made some comments about Ozempic recently, where it was like, 50% of the people hated it, 50% of people liked it, and then on TikTok, everyone hated it,” she disclosed.
Kelly Osbourne acknowledged that she once shared the skepticism of those who criticized her views on Ozempic — until she had a personal encounter that changed her perspective.
“But, the truth is my opinion used to be the same as the people who didn’t like my opinion on Ozempic until I met somebody who lost weight from Ozempic, and it changed their life — not you, Mum. You weren’t like huge, to begin with,” divulged the TV personality.
Her mother, Sharon Osbourne, quickly interjected, “Yeah I was.” Kelly, however, disagreed. “No, you weren’t,” she insisted before continuing to explain what had ultimately reshaped her stance on the medication.
“And like, how it changed their life and how they explained to me how it took the mental obsession with food away, and it allowed them — from that reprieve — it allowed them to dig deeper through therapy and really figure out who they were and how life-changing it was for them, that it completely changed my opinion on it,” she explained.
This realization led Kelly to take a more open-minded stance on Ozempic, arguing that if it can genuinely help people regain control of their health, then it shouldn’t be vilified.
Kelly has never been one to hold back her opinions, and when it comes to the widespread popularity of Ozempic, she has made her stance clear. Speaking to E! News while attending Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala red carpet on January 30, 2024, Kelly didn’t shy away from sharing her thoughts on the weight-loss drug.
“I think it’s amazing. There are a million ways to lose weight, why not do it through something that isn’t as boring as working out?” she noted.
But beyond its rising popularity, Ozempic has also been a point of controversy, with critics arguing that the drug should only be used for diabetes management. Kelly, however, dismissed the backlash, suggesting that many of the harshest critics were secretly envious of those using it.
Acknowledging the high cost of the medication, Kelly recognized that accessibility remains an issue for many. However, she expressed confidence that as demand increases, it will eventually become more widely available.
Before Kelly’s weight loss became a viral topic, she had already spoken candidly about her transformation. In a 2020 episode of the Hollywood Raw Podcast, she revealed that her journey began with mental and emotional healing before any physical changes took place.
Kelly emphasized that sobriety was a major turning point, as she needed to fix her mindset before addressing her body. She reflected on the years she spent overworking herself, which left her feeling deeply depressed.
To regain balance, she pursued therapy and meditation, which became essential tools in her personal growth.
Kelly also acknowledged undergoing a procedure, explaining that treating her TMJ with jaw injections unexpectedly changed the shape of her face, making people notice her weight loss. Unlike some celebrities who keep such treatments private, Kelly was upfront about it, stating that she never wanted to lie about what she had done.
Despite the public fixation on her transformation, Kelly revealed that her weight loss was a years-long process and not an overnight success. She explained that people tend to only notice when someone has reached their goal, rather than appreciating the long journey it took to get there.
“It took two years, and now I’m here and everybody’s noticing,” she had said, admitting she was caught off guard by the media attention. However, she made it clear — her transformation was for herself, not for public approval.
As conversations about her transformation continued, Kelly remained firm in her belief that there is no single “right way” to lose weight. In 2023, she addressed the lingering scrutiny over her methods, openly acknowledging that she had undergone weight loss surgery — a decision she had no regrets about.
“And everyone knows that I had weight loss surgery, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made,” she shared, before dismissing naysayers who criticized her for undergoing the surgery.
Kelly’s stance underscored her long-standing message — each person’s journey is unique, and what matters most is finding a path that works for the individual.
Whether through surgery, diet, exercise, or medical assistance, she emphasized that self-improvement is a deeply personal process — one that shouldn’t be judged by outsiders.
