Ariana Grande‘s friends are worried the actress’ non-stop schedule is taking a toll on her health.
The singer and actress, 31, who stunned in a blush pink and black gown at the BAFTAs in London, also caused concern among fans with the look.
Many noticed that her sternum was clearly visible in her sleeveless Louis Vuitton gown, which had a plunging neckline.
Het latest appearance left many fans unsettled as they believed her gaunt look may be a sign of something more serious.
‘It’s physically so demanding,’ a former colleague of Grande’s said of the Wicked Star’s schedule, according to Page Six.
Immediately after the BAFTAs, Grande flew to Tokyo, where she has been promoting Wicked ahead of its March 7 debut in theaters.

‘I don’t even think your body knows when it needs to eat,’ the former co-worker explained.
‘You’re sleeping when you’re supposed to be up, and you’re up when you’re supposed to be sleeping,’ they explained.
‘Between that, and the fashion women deal with – the hair, the makeup, and the nails – it’s nonstop running. It’s superhuman,’ the insider declared.
‘It’s just the non-stop running on that kind of schedule and that kind of level. It definitely takes a toll on your health — it’s that much harder to take care of yourself — mentally as well as physically,’ they added.
That kind of tough schedule means, ‘You always have to be on. You have to really be measured about what you say, you always have to be thinking, “If I say this, is it going to come out like this?” Your brain is nonstop working.’
Another source, who allegedly worked for Grande in the past, noted the singer has struggled with anxiety for years, but managed to push through.
‘I never got a sense from her that she didn’t like who she was or how she looked,’ the former employee said.
After Grande dyed her hair a light blonde for her role as Glinda in 2023, fans began to voice their concerns about her appearance, and what appeared to be weight loss from her petite frame.

‘There are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful,’ Grande said in a 2023 TikTok video, explaining that her previous appearance was ‘the unhealthiest version of my body.’
‘I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly and at the lowest point in my life when I looked the way you consider my healthy,’ she told them.

‘In today’s society, there’s a comfortability that we shouldn’t have at all, commenting on other’s looks, appearance, what they think is going on behind the scenes or health or how they present themselves,’ she said.
‘You never know what someone is going through,’ she added.
Joey LaVarco, 29, who starred with Grande in 13 on Broadway in 2008, said the actress is likely using her training to deal with the strict schedule.
‘I’m sure it’s a roller coaster. I’m sure it’s mostly great. Like everything it comes with its cons. You learn resilience at a very young age working on Broadway. There’s too much money and not a lot of time involved,’ he explained.
