The article discusses the trend of prominent female celebrities becoming significantly thinner, often attributed to the rise of weight-loss drugs like GLP-1 inhibitors, commonly referred to as 'lifestyle changes' in public relations contexts. Examples include Lizzo, Adele, and Rebel Wilson, who have all slimmed down, with only Lizzo admitting to using weight-loss medication. The piece contrasts this with the earlier body-positivity movement, which emphasized acceptance of diverse body types. The focus then shifts to Ariana Grande and Bella Hadid, who have drawn attention for their apparent weight loss. Grande has appeared extremely thin during promotional events and live performances, prompting fans to comment on her appearance. Bella Hadid, who has publicly discussed her battle with Lyme disease, has also faced speculation about an eating disorder, with some fans suggesting she does not eat much beyond juices, yogurt, and berries. The article explores the cultural fascination with extreme thinness among celebrities and its appeal to young women.
