Lizzo flaunts her 60lb weight loss and flashes her cleavage in a daring sheer plunging gown as she hits the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars party

Lizzo flaunted her 60lb weight loss and flashed her cleavage in a daring sheer plunging gown as she hit the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday.

The artist has said in the past that she underwent a 'weight release' journey, losing approximately 60 pounds, or 16 per cent of her body fat, by early 2025.

The Grammy-winning singer, 37, posed in a ruffled brown gown that highlighted her ample assets.

She completed her look with simple suede heels and accessorised with large gold hoop earrings.  

Lizzo also debuted her shorted blonde hair as she commanded attention at the star-studded event.

The star has been been documenting her health journey in the form of posts on social media over the last three years. 

In November 2025, Lizzo penned a Substack essay addressing critics of her body transformation and health journey after years of being a body positive icon.

'It was never about being "thin" for me,' Lizzo wrote. 'I don't even think it's possible for me to be considered actually "thin." 

'I will always have the stretch, and the skin of a woman who carries great weight. And I'm proud of that. Even when the world doesn't want me to be.' 

Elsewhere in the essay, she also opened up about when and why she embarked on her journey to overhaul her health and lifestyle in 2023. 

She recalled how she felt 'severely depressed' and 'deeply suicidal' at the time after a 'vicious scandal.' 

She was referring to the lawsuit, in which her former backup dancers sued her for alleged sexual harassment, fat-shaming and a hostile work environment — all of which she has vehemently denied. 

Lizzo said that she started to lose weight while going through a difficult time of 'self-loathing and self-neglect.' 

She said losing weight 'wasn't intentional' but that led to a breakthrough in therapy and inspired her to start taking care of her body and losing weight with intention.

She said her weight was a 'protective shield, a joyful comfort zone, and even sometimes a super hero suit to protect me through life' but she 'wanted to release myself from it.' 

The Good as Hell hitmaker later added: 'If a woman wants to change, she should be allowed to change.' 

She also noted that what she wanted to change was rather 'how I felt in my body' and said she still thinks of herself as a 'proud big girl.' 

'And I love myself as I've loved myself no matter what the scale says.'

Meanwhile, One Battle After Another ended the 2026 awards season by winning Best Picture on a night where Michael B Jordan and Jessie Buckley earned top acting prizes at the Oscars.

Jordan, 39, shocked the world at the 98th Academy Awards as he upset Timothee Chalamet to win Best Actor for Sinners as Buckley, 36, took home Best Actress for her work in Hamnet at the event held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Paul Thomas Anderson accepted the top prize of the night alongside Teyana Taylor and the rest of the cast and crew as the film earned the most wins of the night with six. 

The American black comedy action-thriller film triumphed over a massive, competitive, field including: Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, Sinners, and Train Dreams.

The Leonardo DiCaprio-led film One Battle After Another is centered around a group of ex-revolutionaries who reunite to rescue the daughter of one of their own as their enemy resurfaces after 16 years.

The most talked about moment of the night will surely be that Jordan earned the top honor Best Actor for his leading role in Ryan Coogler's film Sinners.

He upset the favorite throughout award season, 30-year-old Chalamet, who starred in Marty Supreme, as the field included: Leonardo DiCaprio - One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke - Blue Moon, and Wagner Moura - The Secret Agent.

Jordan was in disbelief as he walked up to the stage and was greeted by last year's winner Adrien Brody.

Sinners is centered around two brothers who return to their hometown to start again only to discover that an even greater evil - in the form of vampires - is waiting to welcome them back. 

Jordan portrayed both brothers in the film: older and more serious twin Elijah 'Smoke' Moore in addition to younger and more cheerful sibling Elias 'Stack' Moore.

Jessie Buckley continued her winning ways as she earned Best Actress for her role in Hamnet.

The 36-year-old Irish actress beat out Rose Byrne - If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Kate Hudson - Song Sung Blue, Renate Reinsve - Sentimental Value, and Emma Stone - Bugonia.

One Battle After Another was the biggest winner of the evening as Paul Thomas Anderson earned both Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. 

Meanwhile, Sean Penn was not in attendance as he earned his third Oscar.

The 65-year-old A-lister's name was announced by Kieran Culkin for the Best Supporting Actor Award for his work in One Battle After Another but he was not in the building to accept.

Amy Madigan took home the first award at the Oscars 2026 on Sunday night. 

The 75-year-old veteran actress earned Best Supporting Actress for her work in Zach Cregger's supernatural mystery horror film Weapons.

It was one of the most contentious categories of the night as she was up against Elle Fanning - Sentimental Value, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas - Sentimental Value, Wunmi Mosaku - Sinners, and Teyana Taylor - One Battle After Another.

Ryan Coogler finally earned his first win in the Best Original Screenplay category for his epic Sinners. 

One of the most touching wins of the night came when Autumn Durald Arkapaw won Best Cinematography for Sinners. 

The second award of the night was groundbreaking as KPop Demon Hunters earned Best Animated Feature Film.
