Just three months after sparking concern from fans for her seemingly “unhealthy” and scarily thin appearance, Kate Beckinsale‘s latest red carpet outing is also grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons.
The 51-year-old Serendipity actress looked thinner than ever when she attended Variety‘s 2024 Power Of Women event at Mother Wolf in Los Angeles on October 24th, with many fans thinking she looked “unrecognizable” on the red carpet.
Although she wore a striking pink in Christian Siriano Spring 2024 mini dress, complete with a strapless corset bodice and a voluminous puffball skirt, fans could only focus on the Jolt star’s extremely skinny frame, which was accentuated even further thanks to her outfit.
Kate Beckinsale Sparks Ozempic Rumors Due To 'Drastic' Weight Loss, As Many Fans Are Worried For Her Health
Fans have been worried about the Pearl Harbor actress's decreasing weight and health for many months now – and it's natural for them to speculate that she is one of the many celebrities taking the controversial weight loss drug, Ozempic.
"Wow... that's drastic," commented one fan on X, in reference to her weight loss. "She looks sick," wrote a second, as a third added: "She doesn't look healthy at all." "She doesn't look good... is she sick? Anorexia?" asked a fourth. "She looks quite ill," noted a fifth.
"Ozempic is almost certainly involved," speculated a sixth, as a seventh fan said: "Sorry she is not attractive now like that. Kate Beckinsale was beautiful before, absolutely stunning. Ozempic I'm guessing. She wasn't even overweight before."
"Why do celebrities feel the need to lose weight so drastically?" asked another fan, adding: "Ozempic makes anyone taking it look ill if they can't control themselves on it." "That is not healthy," commented another fan.

Kate Beckinsale's Fans Think She Looks 'Unrecognizable' On The Red Carpet
Many other fans just couldn't accept that the woman on the red carpet was the Underworld: Evolution star. Commenting on a TikTok video from the red carpet, one fan said: "I audibly gasped when I realized this was Kate Beckinsale. She looks unrecognizable. I hope she's well."

Other Fans And Industry Experts Think Cosmetic Surgery Is Also Involved In Kate Beckinsale's 'Unrecognizable' Appearance
Fans have been saying that the Click actress has been looking unrecognizable for quite a while now, with both fans and industry experts weighing in with their thoughts.
Dr Dennis Schimpf, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Charleston, South Carolina, told the Daily Mail what cosmetic treatments he believes Kate may have had done.
"Current pictures of her clearly show a dramatic weight loss and loss of a dramatic amount of subcutaneous fat," he said, adding: "She has good cheek fullness, as well as lip fullness, which I would think is a result of a filler or fat grafting. Given her lack of fat I would guess fillers are more likely the cause."
Dr. Gary Motykie, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, also weighed in, telling the outlet: "At 51, it's unlikely that non-invasive methods like microneedling or lasers alone would fully restore the natural fullness seen in her younger years, giving rise to some suspicion of filler due to her lips' 'poofy' look."
Kate Beckinsale Addressed Her Weight Loss In The Summer
The actress addressed her weight loss after hearing some of her fans' concerns back in the summer. She told fans that her weight loss was a result of the intense stress and sorrow she experienced from witnessing her stepfather's traumatic death, the death of her beloved cat Clive, whom she considered her soulmate, and her mother's battle with stage 4 cancer. She also explained that the grief led to an esophageal tear, which hindered her ability to eat properly.
Beckinsale wrote on social media in the summer: "I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief, quite quickly and then I was in the hospital for six weeks because the grief had burned a hole in my esophagus which made me vomit copious amounts of blood. I found eating very hard and I just worked very very hard on a movie that was actually quite triggering because it also involved the theme of the death of my father."
