Katy Perry renewed rumors that she’s using the popular weight loss drug Ozempic, after appearing at iHeartRadio Q102’s Jingle Ball in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on Monday (December 16). The popstar dazzled in an “Asymmetric Paneled Draped Sequin” Alex Perry gown on the red carpet, before taking the stage in a silver mini dress. 

The 40-year-old songstress stunned in the sheer red dress, revealing a significantly slimmer waistline.

Katy’s dress sparked divided reactions, as a Facebook user commented: “I don’t know what she looked like before, but there is nothing at all wrong with her face that lighter lipstick wouldn’t put right.”

A person wrote: “She looked fine before.”

An observer wondered: “She looks older indeed or maybe the make-up?”

“She is on Ozempic, you can not deny the Ozempic face,” a netizen argued. “I have not lost weight on it but, I have the Ozempic face.”

A commentator echoed: “She’s definitely taking Ozempic!”

A separate individual chimed in: “She is such a pretty woman, she doesn’t need to look this thin it ages her.”

The singer went on to change her outfit during the event, delivering a captivating performance in a silver mini dress from Retrofête’s Spring 2025 collection.

Katy has previously denied using Ozempic—a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes—which has become a celebrity trend for rapid weight loss.

Celebrating her 40th birthday in Geneva, Switzerland, the starlet gave out goodie bags which included an empty mini-syringe emblazoned with the word OzempiKP in a party themed around the 1940s.
