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.
