Sharon Osbourne, 72, shows off her plump pout as she attends husband Ozzy's Working Class Hero exhibition at Birmingham's Museum & Art Gallery
Sharon Osbourne showed off her plump pout as she attended her husband Ozzy Osbourne 's Working Class Hero exhibition at Birmingham 's Museum & Art Gallery on Wednesday.
The reality TV personality, 72, cut a smart figure in a white blazer which she layered over a black blouse and trousers.
Sharon, who is known for her love of surgery, showed off her smooth visage and seemingly plumper lips - which could simply be an illusion from artful make-up.
Styling her signature red tresses loose, the star accessorised the ensemble with a pair of round glasses and dazzling drop earrings.
The former X Factor judge — who was among the first celebrities to publicly confirm using the diabetes drug Ozempic after starting the medication over two years ago — completed her look with a pair of white shoes.
MailOnline have contacted Sharon's representatives for comment.
The free exhibition showcases Ozzy's most prestigious international honours, including Grammy Awards and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Other photographs and videos chart Ozzy's journey from 'a working class kid from Aston' to becoming one of the world's most iconic rock stars.
Last month, Sharon sparked concern among her fans as she displayed her drastic transformation in her recent social media post.
While showing support for her husband Ozzy Osbourne's song War Pigs, she appeared gaunt with loose-fitting clothes hanging off of her shrinking frame.
Her concerned fans took to her comments section to discuss her appearance as some said she looked 'ill' while others asked her to 'stop losing weight.'
The TV star was among the first of the many stars to publicly confirm using the diabetes drug after her slimmed-down appearance sparked widespread concern.
Though she was initially pleased with her results after starting the medication in December 2022, Osbourne later admitted she feared she had taken it to far.
Last November, she said she had been off the drug for 'a while' but was still struggling with her weight.

Despite feeling 'frustrated,' she said she was 'satisfied' with the way she looks now.
'I can't put on weight now, and I don't know what it's done to my metabolism, but I just can't seem to put any on, because I think I went too far,' she shared on Howie Mandel's podcast.
In February, she told The Guardian she had lost 'three stone [42 pounds] in four months. Too much.'
Osbourne recently told DailyMail.com that she hasn't regained any of the weight she lost while taking the drug and admitted she's been left feeling 'frustrated' by the lingering effects.
'Now, I weigh just over 7 stone. I need to put on 10 pounds, but however much I eat, I stay the same weight,' she said.
'I've had enough,' she continued. 'I've given up on all interventions. I couldn't have much more facial surgery — there's not that much skin left to stretch, pull or cut. And I won't have any more fillers or Botox.
'I don't think I'll ever be happy with the way I look,' she added. 'But I'm now satisfied. It's taken years for me to say this but I've learned my lesson. This is me. It's finally time to leave well alone.'

As a fan of The Who, this wretched ‘mod ballet' makes me want to weep
'Where's Matthew Bourne when you need him most?' This sad thought kept ricocheting around my mind on Tuesday evening as this slick, well-meaning, wretchedly anodyne dance-theatre version of The Who's marvellous 1973 album – which became an even more marvellous film in 1979 – played out. The mod-ish moves, the hormone-driven mayhem, the fabled mid-Sixties setting – oh, to think what fun he and his designer Lez Brotherston could have had with it all. For all its grandiosity, that 1973 'rock opera' is packed full of cracking music, and it was put to perfect use in Franc Roddam's work-of-art movie, a confection that positively bubbled over with teenage swagger, insecurity and take-no-prisoners tribalism – as well as sex, drugs and (yep) rock'n'roll. Do watch it if you can; there's nothing quite like it. The fundamental problem with this new 'mod ballet', though, is that all the sharp or exciting edges of the album's narrative – so cleverly exploited and amped up on the big screen – have been either completely filed off or at least sanded down to an unthreatening shine. The album's story is essentially there: Jimmy (the lithe Paris Fitzpatrick), a young mod living in 1965 London, wars with his parents, fights rockers in Brighton, tries to keep up with his pals and win the heart of Mod Girl (Leslie Ash in the film, and here by Serena McCall), all the while looking up to the ultra-cool, Sting-like Ace Face (athletic Dan Baines). But excitement is absent and the fundamental elements don't add up. The entire thing is swamped by almost invariably syrupy, bombastic orchestral arrangements of The Who album by Martin Batchelar and Rachel Fuller (aka Mrs Townshend) that are both typical of the problem and a fatal part of it. One terrific bar scene aside, director Rob Ashford – who has done high-octane work in the past with megastars from Diana Ross to Prince – seldom seems to get fully under the skin of the mod-ish dance moves of the era, and tends to resort to a one-size-fits all contemporary vocabulary that very rarely surprises. Sometimes, it even stumbles into unintentional comedy, especially with the strange, soaring lifts in what is supposed to be a brutal seaside clash. (The same, sad to say, is true of the will-this-never-end climax.) Even the usually exhilarating Royal Ballet principal Matthew Ball, cameoing as Jimmy's rock-star hero, blamelessly comes across as bland. As for Christoper Oram's sets and uber-designer Paul Smith's costumes, these, too, seem to fall oddly in and out of the era. Some of the outfits, and one or two of the less video-dominated sets, fit the bill crisply, but there's an overwhelming sense of lip service being paid to the 1965 setting, without ever making you feel as if you're there. So much, then, for the rock'n'roll – what about the sex and drugs? Jimmy's frustration comes across loud and clear, and the masturbation scene is present and correct, but without packing any sort of illicit, desperate or tragic punch. As for the uppers, there is, to be fair, a character actually called 'Drugs' (played by the aptly seductive Amaris Gilles), decked out in azure to, I'm assuming, reflect that Jimmy's amphetamine of choice is the so-called 'blue'. At one point, he even takes to the air like The Snowman as a high hits him. But again, there is no real menace; no thrill of the forbidden or sense of a downward spiral. The conceptual oddness of Drugs is continued in the quartet of characters who intermittently accompany Jimmy, depending on the situation – one, I gather, for each of The Who's four members. There's the Tough Guy (Roger Daltrey), the Lunatic (Keith Moon), the Romantic (Townshend) and the Hypocrite (purely, I must stress, by process of elimination, John Entwistle). But these amount to nothing more than dramaturgical affectation, watering down Jimmy's sense of gnawing isolation and leaving you scratching your head because it is never clear which one is which; you just wish they'd scarper. What is so particularly sad about this show – endorsed by Townshend, conceived with love, and with all performers doing their level best – is the disappointment that lies in wait not for people who already know the music and the film, but for those who don't. The uninitiated could well come away from this wondering what the big fuss is, not only about Quadrophenia but about one of the most skin-prickling rock bands of all time – and it makes me want to weep.

‘We thought hippies would throw mud at us': Billy Bragg, Kate Nash and other stars on their Glastonbury debuts
You can tell it's 1984 by my shirt. I'd just played the Jobs for a Change festival, in the middle of London, easy to get to by tube. But Glastonbury was like being on an island. You had to deal with the weather, the food and the toilets. It was also mainly populated by Bristolians. I performed once solo, but also got up on the Pyramid stage with [country and western singer] Hank Wangford to do (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66. The original Pyramid was made from corrugated iron and doubled as a cowshed. I remember it being swampy backstage. There were no bars, you had to bring in your own beer. Keith Allen and [Scottish poet] Jock Scott blagged their way in, pretending to be a Belgian film crew, and sold cans of Red Stripe for 50p. Glastonbury's still an island. You can't just walk down to the tube station and grab a Greggs The thing I look most forward to is the Crumble Shack [food stall], which you can see when you're performing on the Left Field stage, and for a man of my age, is very distracting. Instead of the great issues of the day to speak about, all I'm thinking is: 'Shall I have ice-cream or custard with my rhubarb crumble?' Norman Cook The first time I played Glastonbury was with the Housemartins. We'd never played to a crowd that large before, let alone played during daylight. We also thought it would be full of bearded hippies who'd throw mud and piss at us. Instead, the sun shone, we made lots of new friends, and I fell in love with the festival. I still have a bootleg of the performance. You can hear the nerves and excitement in our voices: we're generally in tune, but we play everything way too fast. The crowd seemed to grow organically: people wanted to see for themselves what four spotty boys from Hull had to say about the state of the nation. It took me 38 years and 98 DJ sets to get back on the Pyramid stage. Last year I joined [former Housemartins bandmate] Paul Heaton to reprise Happy Hour and celebrate our good fortune to still be allowed to play at the best festival in the world. Rick McMurray (drummer) Our singer Tim [Wheeler] had finished school days earlier. Kung Fu had topped the indie chart and nearly cracked the Top 40, but Glastonbury was the first time we felt its impact live. It was also the first time we played Girl from Mars. That Glastonbury performance helped launch it skywards, into the charts, and into a wild few years that took us from indie clubs to something close to Beatlemania in Japan. Our Glastonbury set was the moment we stopped being a part-time school band and became a full-time touring machine. Two years later, we were back, headlining the Other stage on Friday. Then came a knock on the bus: Emily Eavis asking us to step in as Sunday headliner on the Pyramid stage. Just like that, we'd headlined both stages in one year. It was mind-blowing. You can even spot my future wife in the crowd during Kung Fu in 95. It's our 10th anniversary this year – I need to dash to the petrol station for some flowers! Rick Witter We've only played Glastonbury once – 30 years ago, in 1995, the year it was boiling hot. Oasis were there and Robbie Williams in his red Adidas tracky top and peroxide blond hair. I don't remember watching any of the bands. I think I got caught in the fact that we were playing Glastonbury. It's hard not feel like a small cog in this huge music event, but the crowd were amazing. It's funny when you write a set of songs and then you start getting noticed: loads of things just suddenly fall into place, like getting booked to play Glastonbury. It was a bit like the first time we were played on the radio; we pulled the car over to the side of the motorway to listen to ourselves. Glastonbury was like that. It's not often you get to appreciate those moments as perhaps you should. We can't wait to go back! Jake Shears I remember how excited we were. We didn't have a notion of how large it was going to be. I remember our drum tech, Nigel – this amazing soul – giving us a pep talk, saying: 'This is yours for the taking.' It rained during our afternoon show, but we still had a blast. Our second show in the Dance tent is still one of my favourite sets ever. It was truly electric. There was something magical in the air. It felt as if the whole world had spun around. Then our debut album went to No 1. Really magical things happen at Glastonbury. The madness and magnitude still blows my mind to this very day. Babydaddy It was a moment of synergy. It felt like the stars were aligning. We played twice on the Saturday: the Pyramid stage mid-afternoon, and the Dance tent early evening. I think we realised for the first time that this was going to be something that, as New Yorkers, we were going to be accepted for. I also remember the mud. I wore wellies for the first time, trying keep our stage clothes intact and look as glamorous as we possibly could. Glastonbury isn't just a music festival. It's a party, an art installation, a cultural touchstone, a spiritual destination. It remains one of the most special memories in our career. I was in awe of Glastonbury because I'd never been before. We set up our tents and stayed the whole weekend. It was a muddy year: I remember buying a red poncho, and I did an interview with NME wearing a bright yellow American Apparel hoodie. I remember seeing Lily Cole at a coffee stand and thinking she was so beautiful, and admiring Lovefoxxx from CSS's sequined bodysuit. I also got 'married' to my best friend when Iggy Pop played I Wanne Be Your Dog. I stole a chicken ornament with Emmy the Great, which I ended up gifting to Amy Winehouse on Jack White's tour bus. Playing Merry Happy on the Park stage, as I sang the lyrics 'I can watch a sunset on my own', the sun came out and it felt magical. Rebecca Lucy Taylor The first time I performed as Self Esteem was on the BBC Introducing Stage in 2019. But I'd performed with my previous duo Slow Club in 2009, 10 years earlier. We played the Guardian lounge, so we did our little trick of leaving the stage and coming into the middle of the room, because the tent was quite big and there weren't very many people. I remember thinking: 'I wish we were playing on a bigger stage,' and felt really jealous of everyone that got to. It was also around the time of swine flu, so I spent most of that Glastonbury very poorly in a tent, while everyone else had fun. I'm looking forward to going back this year and making some new memories. Harley Sylvester We were playing a secret set, so we weren't allowed to announce it until a few hours before. It was a super-fun set, and the crowd was packed. After that, it all gets a little bit blurry. I remember we had some TV interviews to do. Our TV rep – who still to this day is one of my favourite people – said: 'All right boys, you've got an interview in four hours. I want you to come back nice and calm and relaxed.' You can't say that to two 21-year-old boys who are experiencing Glastonbury for the first time. The interview we did isn't fun to watch. Well, it's hilarious to watch if you're not me or Jordan. But we were young and at Glastonbury, so we were going to take advantage. We're super gassed to be playing again, and even better that we are properly on the bill this time. Jordan Stephens I was not sober. I vaguely remember watching Primal Scream and the Rolling Stones. I then spent three days in the late-night area, Shangri-La. I'm not sure if I slept. I was in this whirlwind vortex of drum'n'bass and deep house. I spent a whole morning at the Stone Circle feeling spiritually uplifted by the coming together of wonderful people and the rising of the sun. I felt so at one with nature, I refused to sleep in a tent, but ended up getting a rash over the whole of my body and then couldn't leave my house for a week. Georgia Ellery: It was the first time I'd been to Glastonbury. I was lucky enough to be playing twice, on Saturday with Jockstrap and on Sunday with Black Country, New Road. So technically my first performance was with Jockstrap! I was very nervous, knowing everyone at home would be watching on telly and some of the songs would live on YouTube forever. I'd sprained my ankle the night before, so I had to ice my foot before we went on. We walked on stage to the theme tune to Succession. I also remember how hot it was – luckily I was wearing my gold hot pants and top. I came off stage thinking we'd butchered it and it had gone terribly. But all our friends and family ensured us that the vibes in the crowd had been great. I wanted to celebrate, but I couldn't exactly have the biggest night in the world because I had another show to play the next day.
