‘Euphoria’ Star Alexa Demie Raises Eyebrows Over Transformation

Alexa Demie stunned fans with her noticeably different look and facial appearance while attending the “Euphoria” season 3 premiere in L.A.

Fans of the show flooded social media with wild reactions, as some wondered if the actress had lost a lot of weight or had “buccal fat” removed due to how unrecognizable she looked, especially in comparison to her Maddy character in the series.

The third season of “Euphoria” sees Alexa Demie and the rest of the actors, including Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney, placed five years in the future, with the show creator explaining that the time jump “felt like a natural place” for them to be.

Alexa Demie Looked Different For ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 Premiere

Fans who attended the “Euphoria” premiere on Tuesday in L.A. might have walked past Alexa Demie without realizing it, as the actress had a different appearance from what she looks like in the series.

For the event, the 35-year-old ditched her character’s dark, sharp-winged eyeliner and straight hair for a more minimalist, fresh face look, while leaving her hair to flow freely down her back.

She wore a plunging silver-and-black striped off-the-shoulder gown for the event and was all smiles as she posed for the camera, something that wasn’t quite seen with her sassy character in the film.

Fans’ Reactions To The New Look Were Mixed

Demie’s look was so unrecognizable that several fans took to social media to speculate on what exactly was going on with the actress.

Some seemed to love the new look, with one person writing, “Apart from the makeup, are people usually this pretty? Look at how elegant she looks, perfect face card you would always want to see on a dinner date.”

“She looks so beautiful and amazing, her hair and her makeup look very natural and beautiful,” another individual noted.

However, many were critical of Demie’s transformation, with some speculating that she used Ozempic or some sort of cosmetic procedure to achieve it.

“She looks pretty, but she was prettier with fuller, chubby cheeks,” an X user wrote, while another said, “Ozempic is doing too much damage to the community.”

Someone else suggested that she “looked way better compared to how she’s looking now,” adding that they “just hope it’s not drugs.”

“Buccal fat removal is the DEVIL… save my gfs from the scourge of cosmetic surgery, dear god,” another user wrote.

A third critic said, “REINSTALL THE BUCCAL FAT NOW! YA’LL WOMEN GOTTA STOP DOING THIS TO YOURSELVES!”

About The New’ Euphoria’ Season

“Euphoria” season 3 premieres on HBO on Sunday, April 12, and will see a significant time jump as Demie and her other costars pick up five years from when they left off in season 2.

They are all now out of college and are grappling with the struggles of adulthood.

Demie’s character Maddy works at a talent agency in Hollywood, while Lexi, played by Maude Apatow, also works in the film industry as an assistant to a showrunner played by Sharon Stone.

Zendaya’s character, Rue, continues to battle her drug addiction, but this time in Mexico as she moves to escape the drug dealers she owes money to.

The Show’s Creator Explained Why A Time Jump Made Sense For Season 3

The third season of “Euphoria” will reportedly see Sweeney’s character, Cassie, get married to Nate (Jacob Elordi), and would also mark the last season for Eric Dane, who died in February after battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, explained the time jump in a London event earlier this month, saying, “Five years felt like a natural place because if they’d gone to college, they’d be out of college at that time.”

He added, “We basically pick up Rue [Zendaya] south of the border in Mexico, in debt to Laurie [Martha Kelly], trying to come up with some very innovative ways to pay it off.”

Reports Suggest ‘Euphoria’ Stars Zendaya And Sydney Sweeney Are Feuding

Meanwhile, the hit series has been marred by reports of a strain between Zendaya and Sweeney over their respective political views.

The pair were also in attendance at this season’s premiere in L.A., but didn’t pose together after reports emerged that Zendaya had been left upset by Sweeney’s support for republican President Donald Trump, as well as claims her American Eagle ad was racist.

During promotion for the new season, the pair hardly posed together in any group photo as Zendaya allegedly refused to stand close to her.

In one post that made headlines, the “Dune” actress was noticeably absent from a group shot, with just Sydney, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, and Maude Apatow posing for the photo together.
