No, that's great. She'll look young for a long time and it's nice to see a child-like young women instead of 22 year olds looking like 40-year old escorts.
In a series that is primarily about sexual exploits?
Gross.
What are you grossed about, weirdo? That a 25+ grown up woman looks delicate and feminine?
She is clearly not a child and it's not a Disney show.

She is anorexic. She has said so.
Is or was? Is anorexia a condition you have permanently?
Yes, anorexia is considered a permanent condition. Like alcoholism, you can be in or out of recovery.
A family member died of anorexia. I do not have an issue with people expressing concern over an admitted anorexic weight loss. I suspect if people had expressed more concern for my family member, and alerted us to her substantial weight loss while away at college, we may haven been able to get her in treatment before it was too late.
I do see where some posters are coming from about how inappropriate it is to shame very thin women.
On the other hand, in the case of Lily Collins, was brave enough to share her struggle with eating disorders publically. Having done so, many of us, including those who have dealt with our own eating disorders, feel a connection with her and her struggle. This is why people are concerned.
On top of that, she famously lost 20 pounds off of her already slender frame to play a person suffering from an eating disorder. It's hard to look at the previews for Emily in Paris without noticing that she looks more like she did when she filmed the movie than she did during the first season.
You know, I could agree with this we’re it not for the commenters whose focus seems to be on dissecting the way individual body parts look in a seemingly derisive way. But the problem is that for every person who seems genuinely concerned, there is at least one who seems to relish talking about her body in a very offensive way. It’s really not that different than the concern trolling people do over women who gain weight or whose weight exceeds what a particular poster thinks it should.
Notice there is virtually no discussion in this thread about what it’s like to actually live with or treat eating disorders, or that might be helpful to anyone. So what precisely is the point?

She appears to be about the size of Audrey Hepburn.

In the 1920's, 1930's 1940's and 1950's and even the 1960's and 1970's Lily would be considered to be normal weight albeit a bit on the small size. Take a look at crowd scenes in movies from these periods. People were much smaller then.
We are so used to seeing morbidly obese people such that heavy people appear to be "normal" to us.
Audrey Hepburn starved herself. That is also a well known fact.
Stop with the morbidly obese black and white talk. Every other woman on the show is neither skeletal nor obese. Lily Collins is pretty much the skinniest celebrity we’ve seen since Amy Winehouse (and I don’t have to remind you how that turned out). This has nothing to do with the obesity epidemic warping our perceptions.
Audrey was malnourished because of the war, but she did not voluntarily starve herself.
