**Euphoria Star Barbie Ferreira Debuts Slimmed-Down Figure at Academy Women’s Luncheon**
Barbie Ferreira, the star of HBO’s *Euphoria*, turned heads as she debuted her dazzling, slimmed-down figure at the Academy Women’s Luncheon in Los Angeles on Tuesday, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The actress, who recently walked the runway for the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, dropped jaws as she smiled and showcased her impressive 50-pound weight loss.
### Is Barbie Ferreira Using Ozempic?
For the event, Ferreira chose to wear a stunning pink ruched dress featuring a plunging neckline and ruffled details on the short sleeves. She completed the look with open-toed black pumps and dangly earrings, exuding confidence and elegance.
Ferreira began showing off a slimmer figure last year, which led to speculation about whether she was using the trendy weight loss drug Ozempic.
### Barbie Ferreira Hints at a Transformation Journey
The former HBO starlet first hinted at her transformation in 2020 when she shared that she was practicing Pilates “a few times a week.” At the time, she added, “I’ve started seeing a personal trainer, which has been more challenging, but I guess that’s the point.”
An insider revealed last year that her transformation might be motivated by career considerations. “Since she quit *Euphoria*, the opportunities have been drying up for Barbie, and she knew that a reinvention was necessary to maintain longevity,” the source shared.
They added, “In order to get roles in Hollywood, you’ve got to look the part, and as shallow as that sounds, it is, unfortunately, true.”
### Barbie Ferreira ‘Wants to Be Able to Play Sexy Parts’
Regarding her weight loss, the source explained that the TV star undertook the change to “revitalize her career and better highlight her talents.”
“She has such a strong drive to succeed in the industry and is incredibly talented. Doing this spread and showing off her new body was a way of saying, ‘Hey, this is me now and I am ready to work,’” they elaborated.
“She wants to be able to play sexy parts too and will do what it takes to succeed. Ozempic can offer a really easy way to achieve this.”
Despite her reduced presence on *Euphoria*, another insider noted it was “clear that her image was important to her.”
### Barbie Ferreira Is ‘Loving the Attention’ Her New Body’s Getting
While the source did not confirm or deny if Ozempic played a role in Ferreira’s weight loss, they noted she’s “loving the attention” her new figure is getting.
“It wouldn’t surprise anyone if it were Ozempic, though,” the insider added.
Along with feeling confident about her transformation, Ferreira appears certain that the choices she’s made — such as stepping away from *Euphoria* — were the right ones.
“I feel free in a way where I get to really do what I want, and I get to produce stuff that I like and be in these stories that I probably wouldn’t have had time for if I were on the show. It’s been really great,” she said in a recent interview.
