Will thinness still be desired when it's 'easy' to achieve? Social media questions whether 'accessibility' of Ozempic turn A-listers to a new 'ideal' body type - but experts are divided...

The last few years have seen dozens of A-listers fielding one 'Ozempic allegation' after another, as they showing svelte new waists and bodies. Everyone from Christina Aguilera to Nicole Kidman and Lizzo has battled rumours that they are using the - previously elusive, now household name - weigh loss jab.

But over the years the divisive treatment has trickled its way down into regular people's lives, and options are becoming increasingly more available. There is Ozempic and Wegovy (which both contain the active drug semaglutide); Mounjaro (tirzepatide), as well as Saxenda and Victoza (both contain liraglutide) - with at least another 20 in the pipeline.

Since the rollout of these jabs has become increasingly normalised, experts have expressed concern that the move is portraying unhealthily thin body types as the desired status quo, a la 'heroin chic' in the 90s. Now however, many are questioning whether it suggests a turn away from Hollywood's seeming 'thin is back' mentality.

Social media is questioning what the elite may do to signal their status with the body they sculpt, and move away from the 'mainstream' fray if achieving a specific body type becomes more easy. Speaking in a TikTok, influencer Nina King spoke about how it is the 'accessibility' of Ozempic that could hinge the eventual change in 'desired' body types.
