Kelly Osbourne Looks Like a Completely Different Person in a New Bare-Faced Video, Months After Trolls Attacked Her

By

Kelly Osbourne filmed herself makeup-free while packing up her wardrobe, looking happy and healthy as she sorts through nearly two decades of clothes. Five months ago, commenters called her “too thin and fragile.” Now a close friend says she’s “back to her best.”

Kelly Osbourne posted a bare-faced video on July 18 as she packed to move into a new cottage in the UK countryside, where she plans to raise her son, Sidney. Her hair was in a voluminous updo, and she wore a simple black slip dress with spaghetti straps as she dug through years of archival pieces.

The 41-year-old is moving to be closer to her mom, Sharon Osbourne, after breaking off her engagement to Sid Wilson. The packing comes during a heavy stretch: she’s also grieving her father, the late Ozzy Osbourne.

Going through the closet turned into a trip back through her career. Her “most favorite” find was an Oscar de la Renta strapless mini dress she wore in 2008 “with Amy Winehouse when we both won awards at the Elle Style Awards,” and she said she plans to get it tailored “so it fits me now.” She also pulled out the gothic look from her 2005 “One Word” music video, a black shift dress with a lace Peter Pan collar, and a black overcoat with white fur trim, pieces she co-designed with Brooke Dulien.

Close friend DJ Fat Tony recently said Kelly is “back to her best” after a body-shaming row earlier this year. In February 2026, she shared screenshots of Instagram comments calling her “too thin and fragile” and comparing her to a “dead body.”

“Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings truly are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!” she wrote at the time. She added that there was “a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something,” and pushed back on the idea that the attacks made anyone strong.
