Barbie Ferreira fans have been left in disbelief after the star revealed her shocking weight loss transformation.
The 27-year-old actress played high-schooler Kat Hernandez in 16 episodes of hit HBO TV show, Euphoria, from 2019 until 2022 alongside co-stars Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Alexa Demie.
In the second season of the drama series, Kat has a meltdown over all the pressure she faced to love her body.
Barbie has previously opened up about the body positivity movement telling WhoWhatWear in 2022: "I feel like I had a lot of things come up emotionally because of the pandemic, and putting some of that into this season was therapeutic for me.
"I hope other people [watching] can also feel the same way and release the pressure of being perfect and happy all the time. Because that just doesn't exist."

Barbie, who has modelled years before appearing on Euphoria, added: "I think bigger bodies are not as 'trendy' as they used to be, which is really sad to me.
"But it's more of a conversation of the fact that we all struggle with self-love, and I don't think any young person has really figured it out yet."
"It's not radical for me to be wearing a crop top," she explained, before explaining that comments like those are just 'backhanded compliments'.

Barbie's since posted a series of photos on Instagram showing a noticeable weight loss from when she was on our screens as Kat, which has prompted quite the reaction online since going viral.
Amid the sea of both supportive and more critiquing comments from fans, many social media users pointed out the issues constantly commenting on women's appearances - regardless of what has or hasn't changed.
"Can people just ever exist in their ever changing bodies without someone having to comment on it?" pointed out one Instagram user.

And a final fan resolved: "This is HER body, HER decisions, too bad some people learned to accept themselves through identifying, relating and comparing themselves to her, it is NOT her responsibility.
"First of all, because weight is not just IMAGE, it is also related to health and health is always a priority, mental health included - weight can damage your confidence and cause you lots of stress and insecurities.
"You know it, which leads to second - she is not responsible for your self esteem. She is a human, an artist and a beautiful lady no matter what her body shape is. What she isn’t is a security blanket for other people."
