How to voice concerns about a close friend's relationship partner

My best friend and I have been inseparable for fifteen years but her new relationship is with someone I genuinely don't trust, and I can't figure out how to be supportive of her happiness while also being honest about my concerns. I'm watching her change in ways that worry me and I don't know if speaking up will help or just push her away.
