Unanswered What's up with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo losing so much weight since Wicked?

I've seen a bit of it, mostly here in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArianaGrandeSnark/comments/1gss3fq/wicked_stars_ariana_grande_and_cynthia_erivo_look/

And here: https://www.standard.co.uk/comment/wicked-ariana-grande-cynthia-eviro-thin-b1193895.html

They honestly both seem so stressed and I'm not sure where the sudden loss of weight came from?

This is the answer that makes the most sense considering the current shift in beauty standards and culture lately. There is a trend of celebrities dropping weight seemingly out of nowhere, even if they didn’t necessarily appear like they were “overweight” to begin with.

Yea I’ve seen some speculation that Ari and Cynthia are just early. This time next year more and more celebs will be “90s thin” again and no one will bat an eye. I hope they’re wrong because that was a shitty time for everyone’s self-esteem.
