Ariana Grande has long been a cherished star in the entertainment world, known for her incredible talent, beauty, and down-to-earth charm.
However, her recent public appearances have left fans feeling concerned.
The 31-year-old, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Glinda in *Wicked*, stepped onto the red carpet on Sunday, February 16, wearing a voluminous pink and black Louis Vuitton gown, as reported by *People*.
Her plunging dress, however, did little to conceal her noticeably thin frame, further fueling discussions and worries among netizens.

Ariana Grande’s delicate frame has often raised concerns about her health.
One particular photo of her signing autographs at the BAFTAs recently went viral, with fans noting her noticeably thin appearance. According to the Daily Mail, the image reignited speculation that she might be struggling with malnutrition, a condition known to pose serious health risks.
Experts have long associated a prominent sternum and hollow cheeks in adults with deteriorating health. They caution that such signs can result in issues like low energy levels, muscle loss, reduced mobility, weakened immunity, and mood disturbances.
Severe depletion of subcutaneous fat can also contribute to pressure sores and delayed wound healing, potentially leading to prolonged hospital stays.
Grande had previously confessed to pushing herself “to the bone” while working on the set of Wicked alongside her co-star Cynthia Erivo. During filming, both actresses also contracted Covid-19.
In December 2024, the We Can’t Be Friends singer became visibly emotional in an interview as she opened up about the relentless online scrutiny she has faced regarding her weight since her teenage years.
“I’ve been doing this in front of the public, been a specimen in a petri dish since I was 16 or 17. I have heard it all,” she said.
“I’ve heard every version of it, of what’s wrong with me. And then you fix it, then it’s wrong for different reasons. It’s hard to protect yourself from that noise. It’s something that is uncomfortable no matter what scale you’re experiencing it on,” Grande added.
Fans urge Ariana Grande to seek help as she appears alarmingly frail at BAFTAs
After images of Ariana Grande looking noticeably thin at the BAFTAs surfaced online, fans quickly took to social media, urging her to seek help regarding her health.
One concerned fan wrote, “I don’t see people talk about this enough, but she needs help! Seeing Ari like this really breaks my heart, I really hope she gets better.” Another added, “This is really sad, something is clearly going on in her life. Obviously, we have to respect her privacy, but I hope she gets the help she needs.”
“Looks like she is losing life for every signature,” one user commented anxiously. Another speculated, “She is either sick and keeping quiet about it, or she’s caught up in a bad situation with the wrong influences. She needs help. This sucks.”
Some fans shared more direct messages of concern. “Girl, go eat some soul food,” one urged. Another person even questioned, “I have doubts she’s the same person!”
Meanwhile, a more measured take read, “As long as her doctors say she’s healthy, that’s what matters most. But this does seem a bit extreme to see.”

This is really sad, something is clearly going on in her life and obviously we have to respect her right to privacy but I hope she gets the help she needs.

She is either sick and not saying anything or she is just on a really bad road with some really bad influence and needs help. This sucks.
