Though the internet is currently awash in 1990s minimalism thanks to one Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, it appears there is also a case to be made for the revival of 1970s style—at least according to Jessica Alba. The Trigger Warning star took to Instagram on Wednesday, March 4 with full-on disco curls and a zebra-print halter dress in what was a rather dramatic departure from her signature loose waves and laid-back, California-cool style.
"A bit of regularly scheduled programming 💫 🎲 🌹," Alba wrote in her accompanying caption.
The Honest Company founder showed off her curly, middle-parted hair in the very first image of her photo dump, which she paired with similarly '70s-inspired hoop earrings and a mauve lip. In the next photo, her backless halter-neck gown with its retro zebra pattern was the star of the show. The floor-length gown also featured a keyhole cutout.
Elsewhere in the Instagram carousel, Alba posed for a selfie with a margarita in hand, smiled alongside two of her kids, and shared two self-help mantras for March courtesy of We The Urban.
Fans of the Barely Lethal actress will know that Alba just recently traveled to Milan with her youngest daughter Haven, who turned 14 last August. The lookalike duo spent two days in the Italian city.
"48 hours in Milan with my baby girl 💗," Alba later wrote in a caption accompanying a photo dump of the brief getaway. "A blur of the yummiest food, even better company, and the kind of fashion and culture this city does best 🤌🏽."
Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
