Lizzo's Halloween costume draws inspiration from 'South Park' episode that referenced her and the weight-loss drug Ozempic

Lizzo's Halloween costume draws inspiration from 'South Park' episode that referenced her and the weight-loss drug Ozempic

Lizzo has taken a rather silly reference to her on a recent 'South Park' episode and elevated it to a hilarious Halloween costume.

Lizzo has taken a rather silly reference to her on a recent “South Park” episode and elevated it to a hilarious Halloween costume.

The Grammy-winning singer shared a series of new posts to her verified Instagram on Saturday showing her outfit, which consisted of a faux drug box brandishing her name along with some fine-print warnings including “FDA approved,” “Diet suppressor,” and “For single patient use only.”

Instead of a belt, Lizzo wore a measuring tape that cinched the box dress at her waist.

In her first picture, Lizzo posed in an old-school-style print ad that asked, “Need self love? Try Lizzo! Lose guilt, gain self confidence.” Her caption for the post read, “Ok Halloween… you can start now.”

Subsequent posts included a video snippet showing Lizzo dancing in her costume in front of a cutout of “South Park” character Cartman, as audio from the show’s Ozempic episode played.

The May episode, titled “South Park: The End of Obesity,” satirized the increasing popularity of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, and included a spoof ad for a fake product named “Lizzo.”

In a scene from the show, “South Park” characters Sharon and Sheila discuss the “amazing” new drugs that Sharon has been taking to manage her weight, but since her insurance only covers weight loss drugs for those with diabetes, Sharon reveals, “There’s a whole new obesity drug for those of us who can’t afford Ozempic and Mounjaro.”
