The Precious actress walked the red carpet in a figure-hugging black dress for the season premiere of AHS 13 in New York City earlier this week. She was a standout on the red carpet, given that she’s reprising her role from one of the most popular seasons of the series, and her gown also allowed her to flaunt her latest weight-loss progress, which she’s been working on over the last decade. Read more about her journey and appearance on the horror-themed show below.

Gabourey Sidibe Walks The Red Carpet In A Figure-Hugging Black Gown For 'American Horror Story: 13' Premiere

With the fall season kicking into gear, so is another season of the super popular horror-themed series, American Horror Story.

 

The stars of the show gathered at New York City's Hotel Chelsea on Wednesday, September 23rd, ahead of the season's September 24th premiere. The 13th installment brings together several fan-favorite characters from across the anthology, including characters from Murder House, Coven, Hotel, and Cult, for a major crossover season. Gabourey Sidibe was among the familiar faces who stepped onto the red carpet to celebrate the new season, marking her return to the franchise as Queenie from seasons three and eight.

 

For the evening, the mom-of-two showed off her post-twins figure in a sleek black gown featuring an asymmetric neckline and a drop-waist silk skirt. She kept the look relatively simple, accessorizing with a gold bangle and intricate drop earrings as she posed for photos on the red carpet.

Fans React To Gabourey's Appearance & Weight Loss

The Oscar-nominee's slimmer figure stood out as she posed on the red carpet on Wednesday, as she showcased her weight loss in the form-fitting look nearly two and a half years after welcoming her twins.

 

Gabourey has previously been open about undergoing bariatric surgery in 2016 and said the procedure, along with changing her eating habits and becoming more active, played a major role in her weight loss. She and her husband, Brandon Frankel, welcomed their twins, Maya and Cooper, in April 2024 after announcing the pregnancy with twins earlier that year.

 

On social media, fans cheered her on and wrote about how great they thought she looked after the premiere.

 

"The dress is simply stunning," commented a fan on Instagram.

 

"Can't wait!" added a fan of the show. "She looks so pretty."

 

"Looking fabulous!" a user wrote, as another commented, "She looks really good."

 

"Yes, Gabby!" a fan responded. "I love that dress. You look stunning as always."
