Kelly Ripa is fresh from marking her 2025 Oscars appearance on Instagram. The talk show queen, 54, posted a huge gallery of images this week, marking everything from the star-studded night while including husband Mark Consuelos.
Displaying her toned figure and the results of her hardcore workouts, Kelly had fans divided, with some loving the snaps while others deemed her too thin. The Live! host has sparked weight worries in the past, although she’s always maintained that her relationship with food is healthy. One fan in the comment gained likes for saying that Kelly “needs food,” something that sparked somewhat of a debate as some fans rejected the suggestion. Overall, the post earned Kelly over 61,000 likes, including one from 23-year-old daughter Lola Consuelos.
Kelly Ripa Shows Off Muscles On Instagram With Oscars Photos
Including various looks, Kelly kicked off her gallery with a couples snap, although she quickly moved on to showcase the Zuhair Mohad gown she donned for the night.

Modeling a crepe-like gown with a tight bandeau top and cut-outs that displayed her abs, the mom of three looked fitter than ever, flaunting her rippling arm and shoulder muscles as she proved that her workouts with trainer Anna Kaiser are still paying off. Peeing her toned legs as she braved a slit cut to the thigh, Kelly added height to her petite frame in stilettos, completing her glamorous look with her light hair tied back. Kelly also kept glam with a warming layer of makeup, showcasing her youthful looks as she continues to defy her age.
Kelly told her 3.4 million followers in a caption: “20 piece throw back to last weekend’s Oscars festivities. Before, during and after.”

Getting Told She ‘Needs’ To Eat
While some fans praised Kelly, and one even asked for her arm workout routine, others chose to skinny-shame her. “Kelly needs food!” one user exclaimed, with over 170 others agreeing.
While one fan supported the OP by saying: “She does!” another disagreed. “Nope!! It takes FOOD to build that kind of muscle!! She has always eaten healthy and she indulges because she takes care of herself!” they wrote.
In late 2020, Kelly made headlines for getting a McDonald’s home delivery as she ordered herself a cheeky McRib in the NYC snow. She promised fans that she doesn’t eat fast food too often, although it looks like this crowd is wishing that she did. Kelly was also defended by fans calling her “ripped,” with one user thinking that she’s “always been like that.” Kelly is into running in Central Park and couples workouts with their husband, Mark. She also posts dance workout videos from the Anna Kaiser Studios in NYC.
