Leslie Jones Shows Off Her Slimmed-Down Figure At Copenhagen Fashion Week
The stand-up comic was among the stars spotted in Copenhagen for Copenhagen Fashion Week last week, stepping out in the Danish capital as the Spring/Summer 2027 shows got underway. The four-day fashion event took place from August 3rd through August 7th, with her attending the Stine Goya show as the brand reportedly returned to the festivities for the first time in three seasons.
For the occasion, Leslie, who appeared to be significantly slimmed down, was photographed posing outside in a sophisticated gray midi dress. The sleeveless dress had a fitted bodice, a belted waist that cinched her figure, and a slightly flared skirt that fell below her knees in the front but extended longer in the back.
The Ghostbusters actress accessorized the gray look with strappy metallic heels, a small bag, and some gold hoop earrings. She kept the rest of her look fairly simple, allowing the dress and her smaller frame to do most of the talking as she posed for photographers.
Leslie Opens Up About Her Weight Loss Journey
There are a lot of celebrities who seem to be transforming and getting 'skinny' overnight these days, especially with the rise in GLP-1 medications. However, the Emmy-winning television personality has been working hard at getting healthier over the last decade, gradually losing more weight since 2016.
She's been extra candid about her weight loss journey, revealing that she lost 40 pounds after her doctor told her she needed to shed the weight. In a 2016 appearance on Live With Kelly, the comedian said that one of her first changes was cutting out soda and juice, which she explained helped her lose about 20 pounds. In addition to cutting out sugary foods and drinks, Leslie also revealed that her former Saturday Night Live co-star and friend Kate McKinnon encouraged her to become more active by walking with her to and after dinners, eventually motivating her to hire personal trainer Thaddeus Harvey, often documenting their workouts on social media.
Over the decade, she's continued to enjoy working out and doing her best to monitor her sweet tooth.
"It's not always easy because I do have a sweet tooth that's a killer," she told Kelly. "But I do the best that I can."
