A recent image of Ariana Grande at the 2025 BAFTA Awards sparked concern online over her visibly thin appearance.
Fans expressed worry on social media, with one writing, “I just hope she’s okay.
” Many noted her fragile frame, prompting speculation about her health and the toll of fame.
Grande, starring as Glinda in Wicked, has faced relentless body commentary. In an earlier New York Times interview, she and co-star Cynthia
Erivo described intense filming conditions, revealing both caught COVID-19 during production. “We worked ourselves to the bone,” Erivo said.
Medical experts warn that extreme thinness can signal health risks like malnutrition and weakened immunity.
Fans wonder if the demanding shoot contributed to Grande’s current look.
Grande has addressed body shaming before. In a 2023 TikTok, she explained her thinner figure now reflects better health:
“The body you’re comparing me to was my unhealthiest.” She urged compassion, saying, “Healthy looks different on everyone.”
Speaking out again in December, she called out invasive comments on her body: “People dissect
every version of me.” She added, “It’s like when a relative says, ‘You look heavier—what happened?’ It’s unpleasant and unnecessary.”
Fans continue to rally behind her, hoping the focus returns to her talent, not her appearance.
