Anya Taylor-Joy arrived at the pre-Oscar dinner hosted by Dior and W Magazine at Mr Chow in Beverly Hills on March 12, accompanied by her husband, Malcolm McRae. She wore a white knit maxi dress with a plunging neckline, Aquazzura sandals, and Tiffany & Co. earrings. The outfit quickly became secondary once the photos began circulating: what everyone commented on was her noticeably slimmer figure.
On social media, the reaction was immediate and harsh. “This has to stop,” one user wrote. Another directly asked whether the physical changes were the result of using medications such as Ozempic. “I’m tired of seeing all women turn into unhealthy skeletons,” a third person added, while many agreed that the actress, despite retaining her charisma, looked ill.
Taylor-Joy is not an isolated case. Demi Moore, Emma Stone, Margot Robbie, and Jenna Ortega faced the same kind of criticism at recent events, fueling the suspicion that Hollywood is once again normalizing extreme thinness as a beauty standard.
