- Hollywood stars including Ariana Grande, Jenna Ortega, Lily Collins and Demi Moore have become associated with a renewed focus on extreme thinness.
- Fashion experts describe the trend as “heroine chic,” centered on very narrow silhouettes and low body fat.
- The aesthetic favors pronounced bones and thin limbs over a wider range of feminine body shapes.
Ariana Grande, Jenna Ortega, Lily Collins and Demi Moore are among the Hollywood stars now being discussed in connection with extreme thinness. The trend has appeared alongside glamorous red-carpet gowns and carefully styled appearances.
Fashion experts describe the look as a new wave of “heroine chic.” It highlights very narrow silhouettes, extremely thin arms, prominent cheekbones and collarbones, and a low percentage of body fat.
The focus, they say, comes at the expense of a broader range of feminine curves. Hollywood’s current aesthetic is therefore reviving an image of the female body defined by sharp angles and minimal proportions.
