Ariana Grande’s look alike, Paige Niemann, has raised concerns after sharing new footage of herself cosplaying as Glinda, Ariana’s character in the Wicked musical. While some admired her transformation, others voiced alarm over her noticeably thin frame, speculating that she may have intentionally lost weight to emulate the pop star’s appearance.
Taking to her TikTok page on December 9, Paige, who claims in her bio that she is “not” an Ariana “impersonator,” shared a clip of herself dressed as Ariana’s Glinda, from Jon M. Chu’s recently released movie adaptation of Wicked.
In the viral video, which has since amassed nearly 17 million views, the 20-year-old wore a pink and white striped button-down dress and a pink ruffled shirt.
