Would you tell your best friend something painful?

One of my best friends is going back to university soon and I'm wondering if I should give her some painful lifestyle advice. Since the new Barbie movie she has a habit of dressing in a single colour (usually pink or some soft colour).

Obviously this is a big fashion mistake but I don't know if I can tell her. For one thing, she seems improved compared to when she came home from university last year (back then, because of the way she dressed and acted, I thought she had converted to feminism/Atheism because she was acting sullen and dressed gothic/garish). Also, she is really fat. She used to be lithe like me but she likes cake too much and now she is a big girl.

Maybe the reason she dresses in block colours is an attempt to distract people from her weight. So would I be mean too bring it up?

This is super difficult as I do think people should know if they’re making fashion mistakes but it could upset her.
Maybe go shopping and point some things out for her? If it makes her look better then it’s for her benefit in the end, just be tactful. 😊
