The Age of Ozempic Aliens: Why Hollywood Faces All Look the Same Now

Something feels… off about Hollywood lately. Not the movies. Not the scandals. The faces. In this video essay, we explore the rise of what many online have started calling the “Ozempic alien” aesthetic—a strangely uniform look defined by hollowed cheeks, sharpened jawlines, and an uncanny sameness spreading across red carpets, fashion campaigns, and screens. But this isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about control, capital, and compliance. We trace how Hollywood’s beauty standards have entered a new pharmaceutical era—where bodies and faces are no longer just styled, but medically optimized. From the return of extreme thinness to the booming industries that profit from both rapid transformation and its correction, this video examines why everyone suddenly looks the same—and why that sameness feels so unsettling. Along the way, we connect today’s obsession with optimization to darker moments in beauty history, when bodily modification was framed as refinement, discipline, or choice. Because the Ozempic face isn’t a single procedure—it’s a regime. And history shows us what happens when disappearance becomes the ideal. This video is not about blaming individuals. It’s about interrogating systems. And asking what it means when beauty stops being expressive—and starts being erased. Topics explored: The “Ozempic face” and rapid facial fat loss
