Emily Atack Flaunts Dramatic Body Transformation During Rivals Filming and South African Holiday
Emily Atack has once again put her striking physical change in the spotlight, posting a series of behind-the-scenes images from the set of Rivals season two alongside glamorous holiday pictures from a recent trip to Cape Town. The 36-year-old actress, who faced speculation about using weight-loss aids after revealing a slimmer figure over Christmas, took to her Instagram Story on Friday to share candid moments from her busy filming schedule.
On-Set Glamour and Early Mornings
In a mirror selfie snapped from her trailer, Emily appeared radiant and makeup-free, her blonde hair pulled back with sunglasses perched on her head. She wore a chic brown, beige, blue, and orange panelled wrap jacket that accentuated her cinched waist, holding a coffee cup up to the mirror. Hinting at the demanding hours of production, she also posted a dawn shot of actors' trailers on location and a personalised coffee cup bearing her name, accompanied by a box of fresh watermelon.
Emily stars as Sarah Stratton in the Disney+ series, and her social media updates offer fans a glimpse into the life of a working actress. The behind-the-scenes content highlights both the glamour and the early starts inherent to filming a major television series.
Stunning Getaway to Cape Town
Elsewhere in her feed, Emily showcased breathtaking holiday snaps from a getaway to Cape Town, South Africa, earlier this month. She travelled with her friend and makeup artist, Lydia Barnes, who is known for crafting Emily's signature soft glam looks. In one mirror selfie, Emily wore a elegant black dress with a printed scarf draped over her shoulders, her blonde hair swept into a chic bun and her makeup impeccably applied to enhance her features.
Another image captured her strolling in a white mini dress, paired with stylish Chloe sandals and a black-and-white Saint Laurent handbag. She also posted a cozy snap cuddled up with Lydia against a backdrop of incredible views, radiating joy and relaxation.
More Holiday Fashion and Fan Reactions
Further pictures from the trip included Emily in a cropped floral green shirt tied at the front, flashing her midriff, and denim shorts with a chunky black belt. She accessorised with a black Gucci handbag and sunglasses, sticking her tongue out playfully in a bedroom mirror selfie before exploring Cape Town. Prior to the holiday, Emily shared a business-class photo on the plane, joking about jetting off for "a few laughs with Marks & Spencer."
However, not all reactions have been positive. A recent carousel of photos sparked intense debate among followers, with some comments questioning if Emily had turned to weight-loss aids like "skinny jabs" or Mounjaro. One follower remarked, "Skinny jabs are jabbing," while another asked, "on the jabs? Looks good tho."
Defence from Supportive Fans
Many fans rushed to Emily's defence, criticising the focus on her body. One pointed out, "These comments! Aren't we over talking about women's bodies?" Another agreed, stating, "The thing is, women can't win. We are either too fat or too skinny. While I appreciate you admiring her a bit larger, her size or any woman's size is not for public comment. Let's just say she is stunning." A third added, "It's amazing that she's posted a whole reel of lovely Xmas photos and 80% of the comments are about her body."
Through her posts, Emily Atack continues to navigate the spotlight, blending professional updates with personal moments, all while addressing the public's fascination with celebrity transformations.
