Ariana Grande Fans Continue To ‘Worry’ For Her Weight Loss As She Returns To The Red Carpet In A Strapless Gown: ‘Just Plain Alarming’

Ariana Grande is back in the spotlight following her whirlwind Wicked promotions, but fans remain concerned about her well-being despite her recent step back from the public eye.

On Sunday, September 7, the pop star arrived at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. for the VMAs, wearing a striking black custom Fendi dress adorned with white polka dots. The strapless gown featured a sweetheart neckline and a peplum hem in contrasting beige and black polka dots, flowing into a floor-length skirt that skimmed the ground. Grande completed the look with a sleek brown ponytail that was tied with a matching ribbon hair tie and her signature doll-like makeup for a youthful, polished finish.

While she looked effortlessly adorable, fans expressed concern over her health and noticeable weight loss, which appears to have continued through the end of this year despite her taking some much-needed rest after award shows and movie premieres from late 2024 to early 2025. Many took to Just Jared’s Instagram comments to share their worries.

“Would someone please get Ariana a cheeseburger or something…,” said one fan. A second wrote, “Someone hand her a goody bag full of carbs and proteins!” A third commented, “Ariana’s ribs showing is just plain alarming!” A fourth said, “Ariana’s weight loss is still concerning; you would think she would look a little healthier after getting some rest from Wicked promos. Very worried.”

Her weight loss during the Wicked press tour and award shows made headlines almost as much as the movie itself, prompting doctors and health experts to weigh in on what might be behind the change.
