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.

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.

I love the PPs who feel they have been discriminated against by society. I’m so sorry you have been dealt such a thing. Lol

Audrey Hepburn was famously thin. In the first and third wedding photos she looks heavier than Lily Collins and okay. In the second she looks ill.

This, and this is why I find dissecting her body in this thread to be gross and unproductive.
I’ve had visible chest bones, and visible ribs, and visible hip bones, my entire life, except when I was pregnant. I don’t have and have never had an eating disorder. I’m just very thin, and my body is also structured so that even when I gain weight, my hips, clavicle, and ribs are still visible.
I have lost a “scary” amount of weight before, but from stress/anxiety, not an eating disorder. It was scary because I am already naturally very thin and therefore dropping 10-15 lbs but me close to it under 100 lbs. I didn’t like it and wasn’t excited about my weight loss at all. But I also learned other people don’t understand weight at my end of the spectrum at all. People assume the weight loss is due to avoiding food. They don’t understand and that some bodies will metabolize a lot of calories very easily, and that it’s possible to want to eat and be unable to do so because for other reasons. For instance, my anxiety caused such severe heart burn and acid reflux that I would struggle to get down more than a few bites of food because even though I was hungry, my body felt full.
Commenting on this stuff when all you know about low weight is a bunch of cliches about anorexia is just irresponsible. Not your body. MYOB.

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.

We’re not talking about you. We’re talking about Lily Collins, who IS anorexic.

She’ll age very quickly if she doesn’t get help.
Don't worry about it.
