Post Malone continues to garner fan admiration and praise for his 55-lb weight loss. The Grammy winner (real name Austin Richard Post), 29, performed a lively set during the Global Citizen Festival in New York City’s Central Park this week.
Many of his admirers are still in awe over his performance and more buttoned-up look. While singing live renditions of his most beloved hits, the “I Had Some Help” artist donned a crisp beige button-down, long-sleeved top with fitted jeans that helped show off his slimmer figure.

The "Circles" hitmaker has been open about his health journey and transformation in recent years. In April of last year, Post told fans that his newfound motivation to prioritize his well-being stemmed from the birth of his daughter in May 2022. This, he said, prompted him to alter his dietary habits.
During his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast last summer, Post also shared that cutting down on his soda intake played a huge role in his successful weight loss, dropping from 240 to 185 pounds. "Soda is so bad. It's so good but so bad," he told host Joe Rogan in August 2023. "I was like 240 and now I'm like 185," he added.
In a message for his Instagram followers last April, Post candidly said that the birth of his daughter motivated him to start taking his health seriously. "I guess dad life kicked in and I decided to kick soda and start eating better so I can be around for a long time for this little angel," he explained.
Earlier this month on September 8th, Post flaunted his toned abs and svelte physique in a crop top during his performance at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre as part of his F-1Trillion Tour. Just a few days later, on September 11th, the musician graced the VMAs stage to accept the prestigious Video of the Year award for “Fortnight,” his popular collaboration with Taylor Swift.
Following these recent appearances, fans flocked to social media to commend Post on his weight loss, health, and overall transformation, with many noting how “skinny” and “healthier” he looks now.
On Instagram earlier this month, the "Better Now" singer shared new photos of himself from the VMAs and his recent concert. In one upload for his 27 million IG followers, Post's trimmer midsection could be seen.
Fans headed to the comments section of his September 9th post to share their thoughts. "You’re the most beautiful human inside and out!!" one wrote as another added that he looked "so skinny now!" Someone else noted that his outfit was "sexy" as an additional fan added that he looked "soo good."
