From Uggs to low-rise jeans, the fashion world is seeing a resurgence of questionable trends from two decades ago. Now, it seems as though the thin, heroin-chic body of the 1990s and early aughts is also making a comeback.
In early October, Bella Hadid closed out Paris fashion week at Coperni, her tiny form nearly naked on the runway as a dress was spray-painted onto her skin. Days later at the Miu Miu spring 2023 show in Milan, waifish girls paraded down the runway with bared midriffs, some of them modeling the “micro-mini” skirt for which the label has recently become known. Meanwhile, supermodel spawn such as Lila Moss (daughter of Kate) and Kaia Gerber (daughter of Cindy Crawford) are further evoking the ’90s with both their famous moms and their supremely svelte figures. Not everyone is happy about the trend.
“Please, I am so tired of this. I know we’re all pretending this isn’t about bringing back thin worship or whatever but I can’t keep doing this,” fashion writer Tyler McCall tweeted in exasperation.
The skinnies sashaying down the runway are a drastic shift from the “slim thick” and body positivity that had been in vogue in recent years with womanly ambassadors such as Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion putting their full bodies on display.
Even the famously bootylicious Kardashians seem to be turning away from curvy physiques. Kim and Khloé are looking increasingly skinny of late, leading fans to speculate that they’ve reversed their Brazilian butt lifts — though it has never been confirmed either had the procedure to begin with. At the Met Ball in May, Kim boasted her dangerous diet which had her shed 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress.

Yep.
Lila Moss looks thin in a healthy way, not anorexic.
Was that 2nd pic really necessary?
< goes to find eye bleach>
Thanks to BigEdLB in post 39. Whew!
Sick of all these fatsos being told they’re hot and having nonstop cottage cheese paraded around. BBFS! Bring Back Fat Shaming!
The fashion industry is dominated by gay men. It shows.
They have no idea what an attractive woman is.
Anorexic....or having the body of a 10 year old boy = not attractive.
Bloated whale = not attractive.
Fit/athletic with nice boobs and a pretty face = ideal.
Yet they can’t seem to figure it out.
And now SI is likely to use Lizzo as the cover model for the swimsuit issue.
Fat girls on tik tok and twitter gonna be maaaaad!
I was a teen in the 80’s and 90% the young women were trim and fairly fit like that young lady
Seriously, 5’2-5’4 and 150# was considered borderline obese and worthy of avoidance whereas these days it seems to be acceptable or normal
Considering most men are fat now I think It’s a sad state of affairs when my over 50 self is stronger, faster, and has considerably more endurance than most men half my age
Slender/slim, bones not protruding, looks healthy/fit. Thin/skinny, protruding bones, looks unhealthy/unfed. After that comes emaciated, looking like death warmed over/skeletal.
This is just how I’ve understood the differences in these adjectives. Thin could even be the bridge between the first two and the last. Models should at least be slim or slender. Appearing half dead from hunger is not a good look for selling clothes.
Lila Moss is what every 20-year-old girl looks like with good genetics and a minimal bit of exercise and attention to what she eats. With unluckier genetics, there’ll be a little thicker wrists and thighs, and wider hips, but still a basically slim silhouette.
Lizzo doesn’t bother me as much she bothers other Freepers, but she needs to lose 100+ pounds or she will live a sad, medicated, immobile life from her mid-40s onward and die in her 60s if she’s lucky. No one is doing her any favors encouraging her.

As opposed to her mother back in the day.
Re: Lizzo.
Well, there goes my modeling career! And my LUNCH, LOL!
I’m about the same age as you. When looking at elementary school pictures from then, the fat kid in the class was nothing like the fat kids of today. Most kids were proportionate for their height. There were way more skinny kids than fat kids. I’ve seen some 80 pound kindergartners. That’s so unhealthy.
Here is the beauty. She is all tatted up to boot.
“Lorraine Newman who at the time was very thin and had a heroin problem with eating disorders.“
Watching Frasier many years later I thought of that Lorraine Newman every time they referred to the never seen “Maris Craine” . The producers of Frasier thought casting anyone in the role impossible but that Newman could have nailed it.
It is odd the way the pendulum never seems to stop in the middle.
Back to pre teen boyish bodies again. Great for pedos and homos.
Her daughter looks to be a much healthier weight.
