Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira, 27, cuts a casual figure in a white shirt and denim jeans in LA after unveiling dramatic weight loss

As a fan who closely followed Barbie Ferreira‘s journey from her Tumblr fame to her breakout role as Kat in Euphoria, I must admit that I was taken aback when she announced her departure from the show in 2022. Her advocacy for body positivity and self-love resonated deeply with me, and it seemed like a betrayal when she drastically changed her appearance and lost weight shortly after.


On a laid-back day in Los Angeles, Barbie Ferreira displayed her effortless fashion sense during an outing on Thursday.

Twenty-seven-year-old Zendaya, the Euphoria actress, was spotted running an errand with a friend after sharing fresh photos on social media, which left fans in awe of her noticeable weight loss.

In the summer heat, the actress wore a simple white blouse and a timeless set of denim jeans to keep comfortable.

Alongside that, she put on a pair of black flip-flops and effortlessly slung a dark brown bag over her right shoulder for carrying essentials during her daylong adventure.

As a hairstylist with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen countless women come into my chair seeking a simple yet elegant updo for their dark locks. With a gentle touch and practiced hand, I carefully pull back strands away from their faces, revealing the natural beauty of their features. The transformation is instantaneous as I secure the style with a hot pink scrunchie, adding a pop of color that brightens their complexion. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love my job – the power of a well-done updo to boost confidence and make a woman feel truly beautiful.

An iced coffee in hand and a black sweeper covering her arm, she walked with enhanced vitality.

An alternate version could be: Recently, Barbie made a notable appearance on her Instagram main feed, showcasing her slender figure, just a few days prior.

In the photos, Ferreira modeled outdoors with the sun warming her back, wearing a dark brown ruffled dress that subtly revealed a black lace bra beneath.

In a graceful motion, she put on sandals with open toes and let her brown hair cascade down her back in soft, wavy curves.

To enhance her appearance, the actress put on a golden necklace with pendants, and wore a eye-catching ring on her left hand.

Her cheeks gained a rosy hue, enhancing their natural radiance, and she completed the look with matte lipstick in a neutral shade.

In the post’s caption, Barbie shared with her 5.1 million audience, “Such a quirky feel.”

West Side Story actress, Ariana DeBose, added, ‘Ya beautiful,’ followed by a red heart emoji. 

I can’t help but passionately defend Ferreira against the accusations I’ve read. Some have said, “Ozempic has claimed another victim,” implying that Ferreira is taking this medication unfairly. But to me, Ozempic is a miraculous solution for managing health conditions, and it doesn’t matter who uses it as long as they need it.

Supporters spoke up for the actress, with one writing, “Why must people constantly comment on others’ physical transformations?”

Hey everyone, I can’t help but passionately emphasize this: we’re so much more than just our physical selves! Another voice echoed this sentiment, yet one Instagram user noted, “It’s easy to drop pounds rapidly as a woman for various reasons.”

I’ve noticed a trend that leaves me feeling a tad disconnected: celebrities advocating for body positivity and self-love while simultaneously undergoing significant and rapid weight loss. As someone who has struggled with my own body image issues, it feels like a betrayal of the message they were once promoting. Their actions seem to undermine the very essence of what body positivity is all about – accepting oneself as is, in all shapes and sizes. I believe it’s important for public figures to consider the impact their decisions might have on their fans, especially when it comes to issues as sensitive as self-esteem and body image.

‘Makes all those people that learned to accept themselves form their influence feel betrayed???’ 

Teenage Barbie became popular on Tumblr through her posts, and afterward, she landed the part of Kat in the HBO show, Euphoria.

In the year 2022, Ferreira revealed her departure from the show amidst whispers of creative disagreements between her and Sam Levinson, its creator.

During that period, she posted on Instagram, “I’ve had the privilege of bringing the extraordinary and mysterious Kat to life for the past four years. Now, it’s time for me to bid a tearful farewell.”

“I poured my entire care and affection into her for you to notice. I truly love you, Katherine Hernandez.”

In an interview with InStyle Australia conducted in March this year, Barbie shared her thoughts on why she chose to depart from the show.

She expressed that she was feeling fantastic, but the experience had been hectic and rushed. Due to her schedule and obligations for the show, she had been restricted for quite some time.

I wish I could have continued, but unfortunately, it wasn’t feasible. Instead, the experience has been incredibly enriching and enjoyable as I delved into new endeavors.

Ferreira went on to say, “The show ‘Euphoria’ brought me immense blessings. It enabled me to build a fulfilling career for myself, which I find really cool.”

Last year in April, she explained the cause of her leaving during an interview on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard.

Based on my personal perspective and considering my extensive background in producing live shows, I believe that despite there being potential options for her to explore, it seems unlikely that her presence would have aligned seamlessly with the overall narrative and tone of the show.

She expressed her doubt if it would have been fair to her friend (Levinson), and she didn’t want to be the overweight sidekick. They both seemed to share this sentiment.

Finding a suitable continuation for her had been an arduous task, which made it painful to watch as fans expressed their disappointment.

In my perspective, I started feeling like perhaps I had stayed longer than I should have. Consequently, the thought of stepping back and letting go brought me relief. It was becoming tiresome for both parties.

Ferreira has been staying actively engaged with new ventures, including a role in the comedic drama “Bob Trevino Likes It,” which debuted at the South by Southwest festival in March this year.
