RadarOnline.com can reveal dangerous diets and popular weight-loss drugs are fueling the disturbing trend, with medical experts warningthe gaunt gals may be putting their health in danger for the sake of vanity.
Suddenly slender Brooke Shields, Ariana Grande and Demi Moore recently stunned onlookers with their slimmed-down appearance at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Brooke Shields, Ariana Grande and Demi Moore shocked fans with their dramatically slim frames at this year's SAG Awards.
One critic posted on social media: "Sad that unhealthily skinny is now thought to be a good thing."
Yet another horrified fan said: "They all look like an alien sucked the life out of their body."
Wicked's willowy Grande prompted an avalanche of concern with her pin-thin physique, including one expert who labeled the songbird "emaciated" as they told us she'll soon literally "defy gravity" and float off if she loses any more weight.
Misery's Kathy Bates, Abbott Elementary's Sheryl Lee Ralph and Only Murders in the Building actress Selena Gomez also revealed their whopping weight loss on awards show red carpets this year.
Bates has admitted she used Ozempic to shed the last 20lbs she wanted rid of – after losing 80lbs through diet changes.
Noted diet guru Dr. Stuart Fischer told RadarOnline.com the diminishing dames' display is alarming.
"Many people look up to these actresses – but most people would have to starve themselves to get down to a weight like that without medicines," said Fischer, who has not treated the stars in this article.

Gomez and Sheryl Lee Ralph joined the wave of Hollywood stars flaunting rapid weight loss on red carpets.
There's no proof Tinseltown's tight-lipped lollipop heads are taking weight loss injectables like Bates did – but experts said if the scrawny scarecrows used drugs meant for medical problems they don't have, they may be playing with fire.
"There is a horrible standard being set, signaling to people that medicines can cure all weight and medical problems – and that's absolutely wrong," said Fischer, author of The Park Avenue Diet.
Many other physicians are also warning stars are risking grave health concerns – and even death – by inappropriately using drugs to get trim.
Grande's alarming weight loss isn't the only concern – Bates and Ralph are also sparking worries over their health.
