Viola Davis garnered a mixed reaction from fans with her glamorous outing Saturday at the 2024 LACMA Art+Film Gala at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
A number of users praised the 59-year-old actress for her radiant appearance, while some raised the idea that she used Ozempic to aid in her weight loss efforts, in reactions to an image of Davis on the X/Twitter account @FilmUpdates.
‘O o o ozempic,’ one user said of the medication in response to the image, while another joked, ‘Maybe it’s Maybelline, maybe it’s Ozempic!..’
Said one user: ‘Ozempic needs to start tagging these celebrities,’ while another said, ‘Just about all of Hollywood looks to be on Ozempic right now!’
Another commenter said that the ‘look is obvious’ when one has taken Ozempic, adding that it’s ‘ridiculous’ for people who are ‘obese & medically in need of weight loss assistance’ to use it to shed pounds.

The EGOT-winning entertainer looked ‘regal’ at the event, one user said, ‘Separate and apart from the obvious weight loss in this pic – Viola has always been an attractive woman with the most amazing skin.’
The Fences star was also described as ‘stunning,’ beautiful,’ and ‘gorgeous’ in reaction to her appearance at the event.

‘The best beauty advice anyone ever gave me is “Viola, whenever someone has a camera and they want to take a picture of you just look at the camera and smile,”‘ she said.
David added: ‘I thought that was really powerful, and I remember someone saying that to me, and it made me feel like, wow, “I have something in me that I can use in a picture.”
‘It just changes my whole look, and after that, I just kept smiling every time a camera was placed in my face.’
Davis in recent years has been featured in films such as this year’s Kung Fu Panda 4 and last year’s The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and Air.
Among the projects she has on her slate include the TV shows Creature Commandos and Waller; and the films I Almost Forgot About You, G20 and an untitled Harriet Tubman project.
