Multiple Australian outlets discuss the growing popularity of lymphatic drainage massage as a pre–Met Gala ritual, particularly among celebrities. The articles describe the treatment as a non-negotiable step in pre-event grooming and styling routines, with supporters marketing it as a way to “de-bloat” the body and support “detox” claims. The pieces also question whether the effects described in celebrity promotion match scientific evidence. While the articles acknowledge that lymphatic drainage massage is intended to encourage movement of fluid through the lymphatic system, they raise uncertainty about broader claims that it significantly eliminates toxins or rapidly reduces bloating for cosmetic purposes. Overall, the reporting focuses less on specific individuals and more on the wellness and beauty messaging surrounding the treatment, including how it is framed as a quick, visible fix ahead of high-profile fashion events. The outlets present a critical view of marketing narratives while noting the existence of a medical rationale for lymphatic system support, and they emphasize the need for clearer evidence for the most common detox and de-bloating promises.
