Ariana Grande Makes Red Carpet Debut With Ricky Alvarez

Grande, 33, wore a thin-strapped, embellished ball gown with a cinched waist and her hair in a bun. She posed both alone and with Alvarez, her former backup dancer, whom she dated from 2015 to 2016. The pair recently made their rekindled relationship public on Instagram.

Photos from the November 11 and 12 premiere spread online, prompting comments about Grande’s slim frame. Some users urged her to eat more, including one who wrote, “Oh for goodness sake, eat more double quarter pounders,” and another who suggested “cheeseburgers.” Others said she did not look well, while one fan wrote, “Beautiful dress. I hope her health is ok.”

Grande has faced speculation about her weight for more than a year. She has denied that she is in poor health and asked fans not to comment on other people’s bodies. Earlier this fall, she said public scrutiny was behind her decision to step away from the public eye.

Despite that announcement, Grande has made several public appearances this month, including an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on November 8. She has also wrapped up her “Eternal Sunshine” tour and remains active on Instagram, where she promotes her music and REM Beauty.
