July 2025 — Actress, model, and musician Suki Waterhouse is recovering after a surprising health scare caused by fashion—specifically, a pair of pants that were a bit too tight.
The 33-year-old star took to social media to share with fans that she was recently hospitalized for a hernia, which she says developed after wearing ultra-tight pants during her “Sparklemuffin” tour.
“‘suki you never tweet anymore’ have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I’ve been too scared to tell you,” she posted humorously alongside a photo from her hospital bed, with a vape and a hospital gown in view.
The Pants That Started It All
Waterhouse also posted a throwback image from her tour, showing the infamous green pants she believes were the culprit. Fans immediately reacted, sending both well wishes and light-hearted jokes in response to her candid update. One follower even called the vape in her hospital bed “diabolical”—to which Waterhouse responded, “so true.”
What Happened?
According to medical professionals, hernias can develop when an internal organ pushes through a weak spot in the surrounding muscle or tissue. In Waterhouse’s case, it’s believed she suffered an inguinal hernia, which is common and often requires surgery.
Though painful, hernia recovery is typically straightforward—and it appears Waterhouse is doing well.
A Busy Year for Suki
This unexpected medical situation comes in the midst of a whirlwind year for Waterhouse. She recently released her second album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, in 2024, and has been touring across North America. She even opened for Taylor Swift during the London leg of the Eras Tour.
In addition to her musical success, Waterhouse and her fiancé, Robert Pattinson, welcomed their first child in March 2024, making headlines with their growing family.
On the Mend
Despite the health hiccup, Waterhouse is expected to return to the stage soon. She is still scheduled to perform at the Up In The Sky Music Festival in Aspen on August 8, 2025, and fans are hopeful she’ll be fully recovered by then.
Her honesty and humor around the situation have only strengthened the admiration from her followers, proving once again that even celebrities deal with unexpected (and often very relatable) challenges.
