Is 'Living Dead' Kelly Osbourne the New Face of Versace and L'Oréal Adverts for Spring 2026?

Kelly Osbourne is not confirmed as the new face of Versace or L'Oréal for Spring 2026, despite viral posts in early March using misleading images and branding to suggest otherwise. The claim spread across social media rather than through any official campaign announcement, and the Pimetimer points instead to a familiar internet pattern in which celebrity likeness, beauty branding and a little malice travel faster than fact.

The rumours emerged shortly after Kelly appeared at the Brit Awards with Sharon Osbourne in late February, where her look prompted a fresh round of comments about her body and weight online. She later addressed the reaction on Instagram, criticising people for subjecting her to further scrutiny and gossip while she was already struggling, and said she was going through the 'hardest time' of her life. This matters because the false advert claims did not appear in a vacuum; they arrived amid an already intense period of online fixation.
