Kathy Bates continues to show off Ozempic weight loss at AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards with Sharon Stone and Amanda Seyfried

Kathy Bates continued to show off her dramatically slimmed-down physique as she joined fellow A-listers at AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards in Beverly Hills on Saturday night.

The Oscar-winning actress, 77, has lost over a 100 pounds since turning to the type 2 diabetes medication Ozempic – now better known for its impact on tackling obesity.

She looked very slender as she hit the red carpet in a flowing white dress with a stylish high-low blazer.

Bates carried a bedazzled clutch and gave her all-white outfit at fun pop of color by wearing a red lip.

The Matlock star’s gray hair was pushed back off her face in elegant waves.

A sparkly necklace and stud earrings provided added glamour to Bates’ awards ceremony look.

The star got serious about her health following her diagnosis for type 2 diabetes in 2017, but there was a moment six years prior that truly sparked her weight-loss journey. 

At the time, the Oscar winner was portraying sarcastic criminal defense attorney Harriet ‘Harry’ Korn in David E. Kelley’s legal comedy Harry’s Law, which aired for two seasons on NBC before being canceled in 2012.

‘When I was so heavy in Harry’s Law, I had to sit down in between every take, and it was awful,’ Kathy recalled to People last year.

‘I’m ashamed to have put myself through that, to be honest.’

Bates successfully shed 80lbs off her 5ft3in frame before hopping aboard the trendy Ozempic train and dropping an additional 20lbs, which made ‘working a lot easier.’

‘But now that I’ve been able to get really healthy, I can move, I can breathe, I can have fun, I’m not sore,’ the Matlock producer-star, who also uses a treadmill, added.

‘I get tired and realize I’m like an old lady, but even the kids get tired. But it’s been a magnificent experience. I never expected to have this at my age, at the end of my career.’

Bates previously told People in October 2024: ‘Physically, I’m capable of doing this show. I don’t have to sit down. I can stand up all day long and walk and move and breathe and do so many things that I couldn’t before.’

The actress, who survived ovarian cancer and breast cancer, has even seen an improvement in her lymphedema since shedding weight and she no longer has to wear compression sleeves on her arms.

AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards celebrate ‘the year’s best film and TV projects featuring older performers and directors,’ over the age of 50, according to the official website.

While the ceremony was held on January 10, it will not air until February 22 on Great Performances on PBS.

Bates won the award for Best Actress (TV) for her work on CBS gender-swapped reboot of Matlock. 

Sharon Stone was also on hand for Saturday’s film festivities in Beverly Hills, which were held the day before the Golden Globes. 

Stone, 67, looked phenomenal in a dramatic black and tan patterned skirt and top that exaggerated the star’s hourglass frame.

She wore her signature blonde hair in a curly updo and accessorized with a black choker necklace and gold-framed cateye sunglasses.

Amanda Seyfried modeled a tiny bra top under a classic black blazer during her red carpet stint.

The Mean Girls icon, 40, completed her outfit with slim trousers and sandal heels. 

Elle Fanning donned a nearly identical look to Seyfried’s as she posed for photographers in an oversized black blazer and flared black pants.

Fanning pulled up her bright blonde hair in a bun and popped on some bright red lipstick. 

Laura Dern, who won Best Actress for her work in Is This Thing On?, looked elegant in a floor-length gown with a sheer polkadot bodice and curve-clinging black skirt.

Adam Sandler suited up for occasion in blue jacket and pants. The comedian, 59, was joined by his stunning wife Jackie Sandler, 51.

Sinners star Delroy Lindo, 73, who won for Best Supporting Actor, looked sharp in a pinstripe suit as he cozied up to his wife of 35 years Nashormeh N. R. Lindo. 

The Pitt star Noah Wyle, who won Best Actor (TV), rocked a navy blue suit and tie for the ceremony, which was also attended by his former ER co-star George Clooney.

Stellan Skarsgård, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Sentimental Value, looked handsome in skinny tie and black suit.

Alan Cumming stood out form the crowd as he channeled Willy Wonka in a vibrant purple velvet suit.
