CANNES, FRANCE: Demi Moore is currently serving as one of the jury members at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, taking place from May 12 to May 23.

She has undoubtedly served fashion goals throughout her red carpet appearances, but has also sparked buzz around her health and fitness.

Demi Moore’s new Cannes look sparks health concerns

One of her looks has especially grabbed people’s attention online. On May 15, the 'The Substance' star dazzled in a glittery rhinestone dress and a dramatic feather boa. She wore the sleeveless floor-length gown while attending the Chopard Trophy photocall.

Though Moore's fans could not take their eyes off her sizzling look, many raised concerns regarding her health as she appeared extremely thin. Some mocked her for looking “severely malnourished.”

The A-lister was even compared online to a “healthier” 97-year-old woman, a post that later went viral.

One X user sarcastically wrote, “Scary Movie Outtakes?”



A second person posted, “This is frightening unless it's for a role.”



“Yeah, the severely malnourished Skeletor look is very sexy,” someone mocked.



“Botox and ozempic don’t mix, and when they do, yes it turns heads, but not in a good way!” a comment read.



One X account named ‘My moms caregiver’ posted side-by-side photos of their mother and Moore while writing, “On the left, my mom with dementia, at 97 years and 2 months, with no plastic surgery, veneers, or facelift ever.”



“On the right, Demi Moore, 63 years and 6 months with God knows how much plastic surgery and injections. I think my mom looks healthier, don’t you?” the user added.



People immediately jumped into the comment section, with one person agreeing and writing, “Your mom is beautiful and yes, she looks much healthier than Demi Moore!”

Another person commented, “Your mom looks great!! 97?! The other picture is a bit scary.”



“Your mom is beautiful and looks much younger than 97,” another compliment read.



One X user simply suggested, “Mom looks great, Demi needs help.”



“Your mom is gorgeous! I can’t believe she’s 97! I prefer looking at a natural face,” a person on X stated.



Another user added, “Definitely your mom looks healthier and better. That doesn’t even look like Demi Moore on the right. Sad what those injections can do.”



“Dementia took my Mom down to 86 pounds on her 4'11 frame. She looked healthier than Demi. Your Mom looks amazing,” a person on X stated.
