Kelly Osbourne hasn’t let the body-shaming critics and ongoing concern about her weight get her down.
Kelly, 41, attended the 2026 Brit Awards on Saturday, February 28, at Manchester’s Co-Op Live, with her mom, Sharon Osbourne, on her arm. The mother-daughter pair coordinated on the red carpet in black gowns.
The former Fashion Police host rocked a sleek, strapless dress with a furry coat draped over her shoulders. Kelly accessorized her ensemble with a tangle of gold necklaces, a handful of matching rings and a small black, quilted purse. Sharon, 73, meanwhile, opted for a tuxedo-style frock with an untied, polka-dot bowtie hanging off her neck.
For glam, Kelly and Sharon wore their hair in respective bobs.
Over the years, Kelly Osbourne has shared her struggles and successes surrounding her sobriety, weight loss and other personal moments. “I got sober,” the former Fashion Police host exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2021. “I replaced drugs and alcohol with food, my body metabolized differently. Once I got sober and I gained weight uncontrollably, it was insane. [People] kept […]
The Osbournes’ night out at the Brits comes less than a week after Kelly hit back at online critics who believe she has lost too much weight.
“Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings truly are,” Kelly wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, February 22. “No one deserves this sort of abuse! This too shall pass, but like, holy f***.”
Kelly had previously struggled with her weight, even undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in 2018.
“I lost, like, I want to say 35 pounds, 40 pounds, and then I stopped losing weight,” Kelly exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2020 two years after the procedure. “I just stopped because I didn’t listen to what they said. I just thought it was going to be a quick fix. I’d be done, I’d be skinny. [I thought I] didn’t have to work out or do anything. I could not have been more wrong. You have to do every single thing that they tell you to do when you do the surgery, or it doesn’t work.”
Nearly five years later, Kelly’s body was criticized again in light of her father Ozzy Osbourne’s death. (Ozzy died at age 76 in July 2025 after a battle with Parkinson’s disease.)
“I want to start by saying I received so many lovely, lovely, lovely comments from people that have really helped me get through this time in my life since losing my father,” Kelly said in a December 2025 social media video. “[I’ve seen some] disgusting, horrible, mean, rude comments.”
She continued, “I’m just here to say, what do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now? The fact that I’m getting out of bed and facing my life and trying to be more than enough, I should be commended for that.”
Kelly further addressed claims that she looked sickly in her recent photos.
“For example, you say that I look ill. Well, I am ill right now. My life is completely flipped upside down,” she said late last year. “I don’t understand how people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is just fine in my life when it’s not. People’s faces change when you grow older.”
While Kelly didn’t let the comments faze her, she was the most disheartened that they were made by other women.
“The thing that I find the most disappointing in all of this is that most of the comments are coming from grown ass women,” she said. “Women that say they’re counselors, women that are mothers, women who look like they have weight struggles of their own. They’d rather tear them down when their dad just died. It’s disgusting, and I’ve had enough of it. So, go f*** yourself.”
