she's a beautiful girl but this is just sad.

Agree Duchess, that's what's wrong with the world today. It's probably her hip bones sticking out?

JeremyVile · 29/08/2007 18:38

Is it any surprise women in the public eye feel the need to whittle their bodies down to the bare minimum when, as thin as KK is, she still apparently has 'saddlebags'?

CatIsSleepy · 29/08/2007 18:38

she's just thin, surely? some people just are

MyTwopenceworth · 29/08/2007 18:40

Well, as a super-fatty, I'm...and I'm being very honest here...rather envious. I would much rather look like that than the way I look now.

I know many tubsters like myself go on about 'real women' and having some meat and not wanting to be skeletal - I say all that myself, all bravado from me!! but secretly, I want a figure like that.

I mean, I'll settle for anything less than Jabba the Hutt, but I'd like a figure like that.

tortoiseSHELL · 29/08/2007 18:40

I think she looks ok, she is very thin on top, and bigger round her hips. Some people ARE just naturally skinny - my cousin is very thin despite eating twice as much as anyone else I know. Sky Showbiz did a 'thing' about Keira Knightley here which highlights the 'thin top half'.

If she DOES have a problem then I hope she has plenty of support.

CatIsSleepy · 29/08/2007 18:43

and she has lovely arms...
why pitiful? just slim

mosschops30 · 29/08/2007 18:44

She makes VB look like a porker

I like being thin/skinny (dh thinks verging on body issues) but even I can see that is disgusting, she looks terrible.

FlameBatfink · 29/08/2007 18:46

She was 16/17 around the time of The Hole and Bend it like Beckham.... of course her shape has changed over the years.

She's 22 now, and has gradually become her adult shape - due to 10 years on the pill I am only just discovering what mine is like. Yes, she is much smaller at the top, but if she was in complete eating disorder state then her thighs etc would show it too.

JeremyVile · 29/08/2007 18:48

She cant win. She should just be whatever size she wants to be and sod everyone elses opinion.
And bollocks to her or VB et al being blamed for womens self esteem issues, if they did put on a bit of weight they'd be ripped apart for it just as they are ripped apart for being too skinny and a bad influence.

CatIsSleepy · 29/08/2007 18:49

have to disagree mosschops, VB looks much worse

tortoiseSHELL · 29/08/2007 18:51

I think VB looks worse - her legs look like they will snap, and her face looks hollow and gaunt. I personally think they show the difference between 'naturally' thin and 'thinner than you natural body shape'.

BandofMothers · 29/08/2007 18:57

Look sto me like she has always been thin. The bikini picture clearly shows that she is not all bony, her thighs are curved, just very slim.
Poor girl probably gets sick of people telling her to eat a mars bar or 2.

Bet she wishes her boobs were bigger tho

LaBoheme · 29/08/2007 19:00

let's face it she obviously controls her weight - ALL actresses do. But there have been worse photos of her - like one in a goldern lame dress - i can't do links but she looked especially thin there. She has also admitted to an eating disorder.

at saddlebags comment btw. That is just bollocks.

BandofMothers · 29/08/2007 19:05

What recently, I thought she always said she didn't have one.

oxocube · 29/08/2007 19:07

Actually, I think she looks fine - she is naturally very thin, with no boobs. If you google pics of women with anorexia, they do not look like Kiera. She has repeatedly denied she has an eating disorder. If people on Mumsnet said "I think she looks awful" about someone who was, say, a dress size 18, there would be a zillion posts saying how dreadful it is that we pay so much attention to body shape, size, weight etc etc

sazzybee · 29/08/2007 19:09

She doesn't look much different in this picture which was 4 years ago. She's always been v thin

First P of the C première

southeastastra · 29/08/2007 19:12

blimey she looks awful there too. eat something woman

MaryAnnSingleton · 29/08/2007 19:14

she is beautiful but very thin on top - I think (from reading somewhere0 that she has issues with the size of her lower half

tortoiseSHELL · 29/08/2007 19:21

Looking again at the pictures, the ones further down look much better - her back is well covered, and she does look healthy to me. Compare these pictures to ones of someone like Nicole Richie or Mary-Kate Olsen, and the difference is in the appearance of health, or lack of it.

Also, celebrities such as Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie, Victoria Beckham, and longer ago Calista Flockhart, Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston all had a 'changing' body shape - they slimmed publicly, whereas Keira Knightley hasn't changed that much to my eyes.

LaDiDaDi · 29/08/2007 19:26

Agree with you on that one oxocube.

I'm thin myself, size 8 always have been and since having dd I'm thinner on top than my bottom half iyswim. I get very annoyed by the way that people think it's fine to comment on thin women in a "gosh you must be anorexic, eat a donut" kind of way when it would be rightly frowned upon to say to someone overweight "weightwatchers are great you know".

You cannot diagnose an eating disorder from looking at a picture.

Wilkie · 29/08/2007 19:29

I don't think she is 'too' thin or has an eating disorder.

I wouldn't want her figure cos she is very boyish - would much rather look like Kelly Brook but don't think she looks awful either.

CatIsSleepy · 29/08/2007 19:39

I agree with tortoiseshell, she looks perfectly healthy

NadineBaggott · 29/08/2007 19:44

She is naturally skinny I think?

I remember when she was in Princess of Thieves how the American poster for it built up her breast - this is what she said about it

"She told The Sun: ?Those things certainly weren?t mine. Her enlarged assets?We had an interesting discussion when they said: ?We want to make them slightly larger and you?ll get approval? and I was like: ?OK, fine. I honestly don?t give a sh*t.?? ?I don?t have any tits, so I can?t show cleavage.?

macneil · 29/08/2007 19:47

She looks fantastic in the wet t-shirt shot, those thighs are very slim, but also perfectly healthy. She looks needle thin in the dress, but she clearly has a very willowy figure, and is sort of 2-D, if you know what I mean, so her waist from the side seems impossibly thin. I know this shape, because I'm like a many times fatter version of it - my waist looks normal from the front and tiny from the side. God, she looks gorgeous in that dress, it is a gorgeous dress, and you have to have no tits for it, I think.

MarshaBrady · 29/08/2007 19:47

Her face looks healthy (roundish) and ok, don't think she has a problem.
Possibly as I was slim as hell as a teen, and not when it was trendy to be size 0.
She just looks skinny.
Not on a par with nicole richie etc etc
