Ariana Grande's notably thin appearance, often described as "skin and bones" with visible bones like collarbones and a protruding sternum, stems largely from significant weight loss linked to her role preparation and past habits. Fans and observers have raised health concerns, especially during her Wicked press tours, where her pale skin (from ditching her usual tan for the Glinda role) and hollow cheeks amplified the gaunt look.

Public Concerns

Discussions on platforms like Reddit highlight worries about potential eating disorders, noting her shift from a fuller figure on Victorious to extreme thinness later, with some speculating on buccal fat removal or anorexia-like traits. Her Sicilian-Italian olive undertone appears sickly when pale, contrasting her typical bronzed look.

Ariana's Statements

Grande has addressed this by claiming she's at her healthiest, attributing prior weight gain to 2017-2019 medication and drinking, followed by intentional loss for well-being. She's also admitted to past Botox and fillers (stopped in 2018) but denied ongoing issues, sparking debates where eating disorder survivors accuse her of downplaying risks.
