Meghan Trainor stepped out in Los Angeles on Wednesday for the premiere of The Paper, days after hitting back at online criticism of her slimmed down appearance.
The All About That Bass singer, 31, attended the event with husband Daryl Sabara, posing for photos alongside cast members Domhnall Gleeson, Chelsea Frei, Caitlin Reilly and Hannah Pilkes.
The series is set to debut on US streaming service Peacock on September 4, with all ten episodes released simultaneously.
The outing marked her first major red carpet appearance since facing a wave of comments about her recent body transformation.
Earlier this month, Trainor took part in the Nicki Minaj Challenge on TikTok, sharing a playful video from a weight room.
While the clip went viral, some fans focused less on the trend and more on her appearance, with comments such as: “I didn’t even recognize her..? (sic)” .
Another highly-liked remark included: “Dude.. I did not recognize her at first.. What happened!? (sic)”.
In response, Trainor posted a follow-up video lip-syncing to Megan Thee Stallion’s audio and defiantly captioned: “Glam team really did that.”
She mouthed: “I don’t care if these b****es don’t like me. Cause, like, I’m pretty as f**k. Just the other day, I heard a h** say. Matter of fact, what could h** say with a face like this and a b***h bad? Sh*t.”
The pop star has been candid about her health journey in recent months, including undergoing a breast augmentation.
Earlier this year, Trainor revealed she had begun using the semaglutide medication Mounjaro to aid her weight loss journey, crediting the treatment — which her husband has also taken — as part of her shift towards a healthier lifestyle.
She described it as helping her become “the strongest version” of herself alongside working with a trainer and dietician after welcoming her second child.
“No, I don't look like I did ten years ago. I've been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me," she shared with her Instagram followers in April.
“I've worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my [second] pregnancy. And I'm so glad I did because I feel great.”
She continued: “But it's a little disheartening that so many of the questions (and comments) were focused on my body instead of my music, my passion, or the decade of hard work that got me here.
“This is what it's like to be a woman in the music industry.”

Trainor concluded her post: “Here's to celebrating talent, growth, and the power of putting yourself first. Let's keep shifting the convo to what really matters. With love.”
The singer previously revealed she developed gestational diabetes during her first pregnancy with son Riley, four - she didn’t experience it while pregnant with her second, Barry, two.
She joins a growing number of celebrities who have acknowledged turning to GLP-1 medications, including Oprah Winfrey, Kelly Clarkson, Kathy Bates and Whoopi Goldberg.
