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.

Vomitorium skit starts @ 15:50
I’m not seeing that many girls shopping in their lingerie
I still remember that skit! When you mentioned Burt Reynolds that was the first thing that popped into my mind!
I still remember the Gaunt Look from the 1970s. Beautiful models were having all their molars pulled to look ghastly.
Yes, that was one of the freakier things. I think male models also had their molars pulled.
They’re probably all in their 70s now and regretting it…or have gotten implants so they can actually eat!
It’s funny but those old snl skits are remembered. I was shocked to find out the Romans really did not have vomitoriums though.
Thanks for the link to see it again though :)
Not to mention in it.
They did, but they weren't places where people went to throw up. They were actually large hallways outside rows of seats in auditoriums or coliseums where the people would exit these areas. Think of the large walkways under/behind the seats in a large stadium. The masses of people spewed forth into them from their seats.
OK:
A fella could "wrestle" her all night ...
Carrying around two or more bodies but with only one body’s worth of organs and one skeletal structure to support it all. What could go wrong?
Charming 🙄
