Hollywood icon Kathy Bates just lost 100 pounds, and guess what? She’s out here feeling fabulous and getting Armani-level snazzy. The 76-year-old Oscar winner shared the ups and downs of her weight loss, which involved a combo of healthy eating, lifestyle changes, and a little help from Ozempic. Yes, Kathy said, “20 pounds? Courtesy of Ozempic. The other 80? Courtesy of sheer willpower—and maybe some salad.”
An Emotional Fashion Show:
Kathy recently had a heart-tugging moment at Giorgio Armani during an Emmy prep session. Picture it: Kathy walks into Armani, expecting the usual “meh” fitting room blues, and BAM—every outfit is a grand slam. She said it had been “quite a while” since she had this kind of VIP wardrobe experience, and suddenly, things got emotional.
“I mean, we were full-on ugly crying,” she told People. “Everything I put on looked so good, it was like the universe said, ‘Hey girl, let’s make up for lost time.’”
Apparently, when every look fits you like a dream, emotions hit differently. “You expect one or two pieces to work—but when everything works? Call the tissue companies. We’re out.”
The Emmys: Now with Extra Swagger
On Emmy night, Kathy was not just attending—she was strutting in with confidence. “I felt amazing. Relaxed. I knew I looked great. Armani does that to a person, apparently.”
The cherry on top? Kathy participated in a playful skit with actors Antony Starr and Giancarlo Esposito. “We had a ball. I mean, I wasn’t out there doing Cirque du Soleil moves, but I held my own,” she joked. “It was a night to remember.”
And it seems that the night wasn’t just special—it was transformational. “It’s not every day you lose 100 pounds and get Armani-approved. I was practically floating the whole evening, like some kind of couture butterfly.”
Kathy Bates isn’t just shedding weight—she’s shedding expectations and radiating joy. With tears, Armani suits, and Ozempic sprinkled in, this Hollywood queen proves that reinvention is a look that always fits.
