Demi Lovato commanded attention on the West Coast red carpet, showcasing a dramatically slimmed-down figure ahead of her performance for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. The 33-year-old singer's daring ensemble and notable physical transformation immediately became the talk of the festivities, reigniting recent speculation about her weight loss journey.
A Daring Fashion Statement
The Heart Attack singer made a bold entrance for the annual live event, which was broadcast on ABC from 8 p.m. ET to 4 a.m. ET. Lovato wore a full-body, sheer fishnet catsuit featuring a plunging neckline, which she paired with classic Mary Jane pumps. She layered the look with a luxurious fur coat, completing her glamorous aesthetic with sleek, raven-black hair and sultry makeup.
Her appearance comes just weeks after she first sparked rumours of using the weight-loss drug Ozempic, following the revelation of a 50-pound weight loss transformation. Lovato was one of many major artists set to perform across America to ring in 2026, with the main celebration hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora in New York City's Times Square.
Star-Studded Lineup and Co-Host Glamour
The event boasted a spectacular lineup headlined by Diana Ross, with other performers including Mariah Carey, Post Malone, and 50 Cent. On the red carpet, co-host Julianne Hough, 37, stole the spotlight in a head-to-toe crimson ensemble. The professional dancer and former Dancing with the Stars champion wore a tailored, long-sleeved minidress with matching sheer tights and stilettos.
She posed alongside her Las Vegas co-host, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski, 36. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end looked sharp in a navy blue plaid suit, a white button-down shirt, and a brown leather belt.
