A s this paper’s fashion editor, this year I have been surrounded by people who are suddenly quite a lot thinner. In celebrity, influencer and rich-person circles, Ozempic is ubiquitous. It’s obvious in people who are literally half the size they once were, but the keener-eyed can spot “fridge packs” of drugs in the background on Instagram or the tiny telltale bruise of an injection in bikini selfies.
“On the pen,” someone next to you will say at Fashion Week as so-and-so takes their seat in newly tight, very small clothes. Or, “Definitely had a few clicks,” of someone who looks indefinably healthier with a sharper jawline. It was once this way with Botox; now there are more botoxed than not.
Without a doubt, the same thing will happen with weight-loss drugs eventually too..
