Ariana Grande knows how to make an entrance, and her appearance at the 2025 BAFTA Film Awards was no exception.

Dressed in a custom Louis Vuitton gown that screamed “main character energy,” she turned heads and set social media on fire.

But while many were in awe of her fashion moment, others were more fixated on her noticeably slimmer figure because of course, the internet can’t help itself.

The award that got away
Ariana was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Wicked, marking a major milestone in her transition from pop icon to Hollywood actress.

Fans had their fingers crossed, hoping to see her snag the trophy. But the award went to Zoe Saldaña for the thriller Emilia Pérez.

While Ariana didn’t take home the win, her presence at the ceremony still had people talking,just not for the reasons she might have expected.

The Internet Reacts: Concern or Criticism?

The moment Ariana stepped onto the red carpet, the comment section detectives wasted no time analyzing every inch of her.

Some praised her for looking elegant and sophisticated, while others immediately expressed concern over her weight loss.

Netizens reactions

X (twitter) exploded with mixed reactions:
“She looks stunning. Ariana is entering her Hollywood era, and I’m here for it!” Amandapercy commented

“Is she okay? She’s looking a little too thin. Praying for her.” Gwompystompy a user on X said

“Not people acting like they’re her doctor. Let the woman live.” Shortpie defended

Fans who have followed Ariana’s career for years were quick to recall previous discussions about her body, remembering how she’s addressed the topic before.

Some critics made harsh remarks, while others genuinely worried for her well-being, sending out virtual prayers just in case she needed them.
Ariana claps back

This isn’t Ariana’s first rodeo with public scrutiny, and she handled it like a pro.

She has spoken out in the past about body shaming, reminding people that you never know what someone is going through behind the scenes.

Addressing the comparisons to her past self, she once pointed out that the body people considered “healthier” was actually when she was at her lowest, struggling with personal issues.

In a heartfelt response, she urged fans to be kinder, not just to her but to everyone.

Despite the BAFTA loss, Ariana is still on a winning streak.

With Wicked in theaters and her music career still thriving, she’s proving that she can dominate in multiple industries.

And while the internet will always have opinions, Ariana seems unbothered, focusing on her career, her happiness, and probably her next iconic ponytail moment.

One thing’s for sure though whether she’s on stage, on screen, or on the red carpet, Ariana Grande will always be that girl!
