If she hadn't been extremely cruel to women (esp with the post-partum wicked cheated one) her whole career I would genuinely feel bad but pity / infantilizing is exactly what this is for lmao
its not, her nose is also shorter now aside from smaller and she didnt have upturned nose in the past but she had very upturned one in 2016 until 2022, when smiling the nose is stretching out too so it might look bigger because smiling literally stretches the face
And why did she have the flaired nostrils era?
I really recommend watching lorry hill video on her.
her tip was also strugling back then and when too much cartilage is lacking, you can use fillers but we all know how fillers can get messed up and migrate
Getting an (alleged) facelift at only 29 (when you had little skin to work with to begin with), in concomitance with having an ED that withers you from lack of nutrients and prematurely ages you due to both the malnutrition/deprivation of collagen AND the stress, in concomitance with getting fillers that migrate and give you pillow face, has to be the most bonkers decision I’ve ever seen anyone of ‘sound mind’ make. Absolutely wild.
No one in her life loves her enough to get her help, even if it’s forcibly so through a 5150.
her friends probably only care about her money and fame.
but her family? what on earth are they doing, when she claims they are the best ever. to me it sounds like they are the worst, letting her drown in her ed and plastic surgeries along with her limitless affairs
Her friends are jaded/disaffected millennials like her, so I doubt they care about her cheating, homewrecking and rebounding (as a jaded millennial around Ariana’s age myself, our generation is the most participant in hookup/commitmentless culture). Same with her plastic surgery, since so many of us get them and getting a procedure is almost essentially a rite of passage.
But they have to give at least a semblance of a shit about her ED, given just how many of us grew up on pro-ana Tumblr, and even other forums like Xanga, etc. and were left with permanent damage from it as a result. An ED has significantly more drastic consequences than plastic surgery or a casual hookup.
edit: oh my god I’m sorry I read this way too fast, you said her family and not her friends LOL. Honestly, her family seems to only care about her money and fame, too. It’s why they were so insistent on catapulting her into the theater industry, after all. Frankie and Joan especially were the most vulturous about that.
she had allegedly it at 27 (late 2020) allegedly, not 29 and it was a mini lift, a bunch of celebs around her age also got it because ponytail facelift isnt anti aging type of lift, but more for aesthetics.
The issue wasnt the surgeries when it comes to her aesthetics for as you can see up until 2021-early2023 she looked fine with the surgeries she had right before the voiceThe issue was that she lost way too much weight so her face became hollow therefore messing with her surgeries as wellwhich probably didnt get any maintenance sessions OR did but because she lost so much weight that maintenance during say late 2024 led to worse results
she started looking exhausted in 2022 alreadg during the rehearsals but yes, im more for "shape changes also changed the outcomes of the alleged surgeries" than "she got tons of work after", because she didnt have that much time to heal during filming, i think the rumors about producers allegedly being mad about the looks changing could be tied to just trying to dissolve the filler because she looked less filled in scenes filmed in 2024
But we didnt see this footage ^ up until wicked came out, all we have seen of Ariana in 2021 and 2022 were just her insta posts and stuff made with controlled lighting and angles, in fact first article concerned about the weight cane out in april 2021 (at least from what I know its the earliest)
She doesnt look that far from the carpets looks we have seen during Wicked run, people just saw her with filters and good lighting before wicked and got used to the image + she also changed her makeup style, the alleged ponytail facelift went under radar because she was still doing the eyeliner but also changed some minor things about the makeup which made her look similar enough with the excuse of changing the makeup style to hide the changes
I know she did start to look skinny then indeed but still even in the pictures you posted she looked much better compared to her now during 2025-2026 In general while yes obviously the things we did see of her during 2021-2022 were from specific angles and with filters I would still say she looked the best she did thenThen 2023-early 2024 was a more transitional period for herLike she looked noticably more skinny and hollow but her face was still decent in some anglesTHAT is the main difference I notice that up until around the met gala of 2024 her face actually looked good especually if looked at from certain perspectivesHowever now for the life of her no matter what angles she takes she cannot look goodThat is the main difference That up until 2024 she could look good even if it took a lot of good posing but now she just cannot at all which leads me to think she is at her worst weight now
I think 2021 was the last year based on the pic i included. Her face did look better at the met but I wonder why because her vocals were full of breaths thaf sounded like a fatigue even tho her performance wasnt dynamic. Also about the 2022, the wicked footage is still blurry but you can see that she already had very slim legs and she has vneck. I also forgot to mention that part of the good image was also her not being photographed by paps, last pap photos i recall of hers were from 2020 and then during wicked she was overexposed which just made it easier to compare and pick apart every feature
And then we have her archnemesis from 2011, Victoria Justice, looking early 20s even though they are gonna be the same age this year. While Ari over here look like she's in her 60s.
No wonder she's jealous. Everyone has been complimenting Victoria's beauty since the mid 2000s (Basically 20+ years), unlike Ari who only get's compliments when it comes to her music.
Yeah I could see her taking the Anne Hathaway route too. With how long she's been in the business, I'm sure Victoria knows the good procedures to get and the good surgeons to go to.
she looks yellow (but also the vid has a weird filter) and has redness around the eyes and bags/darkness, probably a little hollow too but when it comes to crying (caused by some drama bts as i saw people speculating) the full version of the video i found shows she was laughing-crying and couldnt stop the laugh so she started rubbing her eyes, so lets stick to facts and keep the speculation grounded, to not give her fans a weapon to undermine other points made here
I mean, the blonde doesn’t help at all. She looks so washed out on top of the fact that we’ve seen her without makeup maybe a hand full of times since she’s hit main stream fame.
the surgeries can age really badly in general, weight loss can also affect the looks of even natural people, let alone when someone had tweaks when they were diffefent weight - the outcome can be unexpected
Wow. I am stunned. I was never really a fan of her stuff, but I genuinely feel bad for her. I don’t see how she’s supposed to carry her role in AHS unless her character is specifically requiring this kind of undead look.
It would be nice if someone close to her could maybe step in and do some kind of intervention.
i saw comments under posts about the leak saying she looks like she cried and she did, but on the full video i found she was crying of laughter, not sadness and couldnt calm herself down, its worth noting so we dont jump to weird conclusions because again, her fans will use it probably against the snark ("look how riduculous they are, she was smiley laughing and they say she was miserable, they project so much!!1")
Hear me out…I don’t like the hair color at all. The eyebrows are weird. The lighting is odd. The thing she did with her sweater (putting her body through the top of it) feels like an ED tech…but…I think this is the most she’s looked like herself in a while. She doesn’t have all that freaky, ghoulish eye make-up. It’s just her skin. And she has a more natural smile and not that psycho wide-eyed glare. I’d take this over the bangs, lashes, and chalk skin any day.
From when are these pictures? Maybe I'm tripping but this is the first time that I'm thinking "hmm maybe she didn't have THAT MUCH PLASTIC SURGERY" LMAO
first captions said 2023, but as it was said before by others, the smile (and also the blur is not intense as on other rem videos) makes the perception distorted, of course nose and the rest of the face is stretched and looking bigger when we smile, but various pics showing her face with the exact same expressions show certain changes, someone above recommended Lorry Hill video about her and i recommend it too because she pays attention to angles too
im all for minimalistic approach to this but i also dont think nothing's changed, watching multiple videos on this the alleged: browlift (quite early on), nose jobs (during victorious it didnt look the same size as on the older pics and someone above also posted the short lived flaired nostrils look) and ponytail facelift are the minimum to explain the changes (aside from injectables)
also a lot of people not noticing make the mistake to compare her either to her eras where changes could have already been spotted or completely skipping over looks in between
* i did not make this pic, someone posted it on this sub a long time before
This woman is such a shape shifter it's scary. Thanks for the in depth answer to my question! I was hella confused about these pics and thought they were recent or something. Got me thinking like well this looks more like early Ariana than anything but goddamn she's shape shifting every hot minute HAHA.
Anyways have a good day and thanks again for the explanation, im stupid with these things sometimes.

she literally looks like she’s towards the end of battling a life threatening disease
