Lily Collins: Fans worry about actress after a lean appearance

Fashion Week has been taking place in New York since this week. Designers such as Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors or Alexander Wang show their fashion for the coming summer. The first row on the catwalk is usually prominently occupied. Actress Lily Collins also traveled to the USA to look at the presentation of Calvin Klein. The British was appointed to the brand in spring this year.

Your appearance in New York now causes irritation. The reason is Collins’ extremely slim figure. The 36-year-old posed for the photographers in a gut-free top and suitable skirt. Their ribs and hip bones that emerge out were clearly visible.

Numerous fans were concerned about social networks like X. “Was she always so thin? I don’t usually see them in abdominal -free tops, so I didn’t notice that. She is beautiful, but I hope she is doing well”wrote a woman. Another posted: “Please Lily, I am seriously looking for help.” Several users pointed out that Collins because of their series “Emily in Paris” A role model for many, especially young women and with their appearance they convey an unhealthy body image. “Anorexia is a serious problem”was a comment.

In 2017 Collins played in the film “To the bone” A young woman who has anorexia. Her autobiography appeared in the same year “Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me”. In the book she revealed that she suffered from an eating disorder for years. As a trigger, she cited her father’s separation, musician Phil Collins, from his third wife Orianne Cevey. Lilly Collins was 16 at the time.

“My life felt out of control. I couldn’t deal with the pain and confusion about my father’s divorce. And I had difficulty reconciling my life as a teenager with two different professions. I had chosen both of them, but both attached great importance to my appearance”wrote Collins in her book. As a teenager, she was already in front of the camera as an actress, and she also wrote columns for various magazines. “When I was younger, I wanted to reach this ideal picture that I thought was to be perfected, and I put it with what you can see in the media”said Collins 2017.

Collins started exercising excessively, counting calories and swallowing diet pills. “Eating was no longer a sociable pleasure, but a annoying duty and a punishment. I was constantly exhausted, nervous and bitchy. I was definitely not a particularly pleasant company. But my plan opened! I had control! I was thin!”she revealed in her book.

The actress fought with her eating disorder until her twenties, and bulimia followed. The consequences were unmistakable. “Through hunger, the diet pills, the laxative and vomiting, I not only lost all my energy, but also my body began to switch off. My hair and nails lost their shine and became fragile. My neck burned and my esophagus hurt. My period was missing for a few years and I was very afraid that I had ruined the chance of children”wrote Collins in her book.

In the meantime she is a daughter’s mother. The girl was born thanks to a surrogate mother – a decision for which the actress was publicly hostile. Collin’s man, director Charlie McDowell, then wrote on Instagram: “As for the unfriendly news about surrogacy and our way to the baby – it is okay not to be an expert in surrogacy. It’s okay not to know why someone needs a surrogate mother to get a child. (….) And it is okay to spend less time with screaming hateful words into the world, especially with regard to a beautiful little girl who has brought a lot of love into people’s life.”
