Demi Moore’s red-carpet appearance at Cannes prompted fans to voice concerns about the star’s figure, accusing her of looking unhealthily thin.
On Tuesday, the Landman actress, 63, attended the opening ceremony of the 79th Cannes Film Festival in France. Moore, who is part of this year’s festival jury, sparkled in a sequined custom Jacquemus gown with a flared mermaid-style hem.
Her trusted hair pro, Dimitris Giannetos, styled Moore’s waist-length black hair straight and glossy.
Moore and her fashion stylist, Brad Goreski, posted a joint Instagram video from the hotel room showing off the star’s strapless look, which he accessorized by layering a Chopard diamond necklace and flower-shaped diamond earrings.
Soon after the post went live, fans flooded the comment section with speculation over Moore’s appearance.

Another comment, which racked up over 1,000 likes, read, “Beautiful dress, but she is too skinny.”
“Always been beautiful, but please look after yourself, getting far too thin, and it’s not healthy,” commented a third person.
A fourth added, “Not the Demi Moore I have been a fan of since St.Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night. So thin.”
Some commenters suggested that the star was using Ozempic, a brand-name medication in the GLP-1 class of drugs that is often prescribed for Type II diabetes and obesity.

Worries over Moore’s health have been circulating since her appearance at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards in March.
She is one of the many women in Hollywood who have sparked uneasiness among onlookers after noticeably shrinking in size over the past year.
Many such A-listers have prompted public discourse about the dangers of promoting potentially unhealthy beauty standards.
Before the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony, Demi Moore showed up for a photocall in a dotted Jacquemus dress, which online commenters praised as "whimsical."

Moore has previously discussed her “obsession” with working out and her eating disorder history.
In 2024, she revealed to Elle magazine that at one point in her career, a Hollywood producer told her “to lose weight multiple times.”
"It was very embarrassing and humiliating," Moore said.
Adding, “But that’s just one thing. How I internalized it and how it moved me to a place of such torture and harshness against myself, of real extreme behaviors, and that I placed almost all the value of who I was on my body being a certain way—that’s on me.”
