Demi Moore showcased a noticeably slimmed-down figure this Thursday as she graced the red carpet at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The 63-year-old actress, long celebrated for her willowy frame, appeared even more slender than usual, following similar observations at the Actor Awards earlier this month.
Red Carpet Appearance Ignites Speculation
For her latest public appearance, Moore modelled a plunging sleeveless wrap dress that elegantly displayed one of her famously long legs. Her outfit was accentuated by a shimmering orange sash, which cinched her waist and amplified the slimming effect as she beamed radiantly for photographers under the bright sunshine.
Her reduced frame, thrown into sharp relief by the form-fitting black gown she wore at the Actor Awards, has sparked a wave of unconfirmed online rumours about potential Ozempic use. Social media users have been actively speculating, with one directly asking an AI assistant: "Is she on Ozempic?" while others commented that she appeared "too skinny."
Film Premiere and Co-Star's Fashion Statement
Moore was attending the festival premiere of her new film I Love Boosters!, which stars Keke Palmer and is directed by Sorry to Bother You filmmaker Boots Riley. During the event, she took time to mingle affectionately with the director, placing her hands on his shoulders as they posed together for photographers.
Her unconventional date for the premiere was her 1.2lb miniature chihuahua Pilaf, whom she has carried to numerous public events in recent years.
Meanwhile, co-star Keke Palmer made a scene-stealing appearance in a peekaboo halter neck canary yellow dress that displayed her chiseled abs to enviable advantage. The 32-year-old's perfectly cut frock featured a thigh-slit up the right side, emphasizing her toned physique as she accessorized with hoops, bracelets, and towering heels.
Film Details and Previous Oscar Nomination
I Love Boosters! features Palmer as the leader of a shoplifting ring that targets boutiques owned by an acid-tongued designer played by Moore. The film takes its title from a 2006 song by Boots Riley's Oakland-born hip-hop group The Coup, where he first rose to prominence in the 1990s.
The song explains that "a booster's a person who jacks from the retail and sells it in the hood for a dirt cheap resale" - a definition directly incorporated into the movie's narrative.
Moore's recent weight loss discussions come after her acclaimed performance in the 2024 body horror film The Substance, where she played an ageing actress who creates a younger version of herself through an illegal drug. Her portrayal earned her a Best Actress Oscar nomination, though she famously maintained a stoic expression when she lost to Mikey Madison for the title role in Sean Baker's dramedy Anora.
As online speculation continues about her physique, Moore remains focused on her professional commitments, with the SXSW premiere marking another high-profile appearance that has captured public attention and sparked conversations about celebrity body image in Hollywood.
