Skinny Olivia Palermo in a Stylish Outfit
September 9, 2009 in General by Versus
2 words define The City’s Olivia Palermo in these pictures:
1. Skinny. Question: Is she too skinny or do you think she is naturally so?
2. Stylish. Question: How do you like her look?
1 more after the jump!
I think she is too thin, I am a fan of healthy thin, but this is puching it to the edge for me anyone agree?
she is definitely not naturally that skinny and I will tell you why. I have an eating disorder and she has that famished and voracious appetite look in her eyes. Most naturally skinny people like that have tons have energy and smile tons. just my opinion though, no medical expertise in the matter lol
Well I agree with you that she looks unnaturally skinny and unhappy, do you think being on this website is helpful to your recovery? Some people say some really cruel things on here. Don’t listen to them.
“Famished and voracious appetite look”? Hmm…. that’s interesting, never really think about it, but she does not always look like this. There are pictures when she looks brighter and happier, too. I think it’s just the moment. Anyway, I think she’s naturally skinny because although she’s veeery thin, nothing looks weird or out of place. Unlike Tori Spelling and Scarlett Johansson, or Renee Zellweger whose heads are bigger than their bodies.

I agree with you, Nicole. I am struggling with anorexia and I know exactly how it messes up your mind then and how it shows in you expression.
I personally think she looks like the naturally slim kind, but not naturally that skinny. She seems stressed out and starved, yeh. Though I can’t judge it perfectly, either, of course, it’s just my impression.
I like her outfit.
i am bigger than her (sz 6-8, well, a 10-12 in australia so i think that its 6-8 in the US, 5’9, not thin by any means because i have a small frame) and i have the exact same facial expression a lot of the time, i have bags under my eyes and my cheeks are more gaunt, but i eat A LOT (like 2000+ calories a day) and excerise every day, and what i eat is healthy.
I am from eastern europe so that sort of expression/gauntness is natural to me (it’s also natural for lots of catwalk models, trust me). Is she Italian? If so she could have some central/eastern european blood which could cause that. She doesn’t look starved, tbh.
shes so skinny it looks bad! not like the kind of girls boys like to look! but her outfit is sooo cute!
its funny because in the top pic the guy is checking her out with a big smile!
are you sure that’s not just because she’s famous? i would be smiling too if i saw someone famous on the street.
well he seems a little bit TOOOO excited hahaha. She is super hot! I think most men would drool over that!
maya, im with you. i doubt he even knows shes a celebrity, 99% of guys do not watch the hills or the spin offs. thats too much of a sheepish school boy smile with a crush
I didnt know who she was until I looked her up, I dont watch those stupid shows.
I think he is checking her no-butt!
Lol! He’s like whaaaat?! Where’d it go?!
looooooove her more posts on olivia!!
I think she is naturally this way. I too have this same body and she looks very much like me. If it were unnatural she’d have a bobble head and bones popping out from everywhere.
I lovvvve her outfit, but I say drop the necklace, the belt is enough, especially with how tiny she is and how big the belt is.
its hard to see her bones in this kinda outfit though- it’s covered everything=p
I dont think thats true shes lots heaps of weight recently because I’ve seen pictures of her were she looked healthy and thin now she just looks very very skinny and you can tell her knee is practically popping out of her skin. In other pictures its more obvious. Skin and bones.
My point is, some people are naturally boney. My moms clavical bones stick out SOOO much, she can literally collect water in the dips, but she is sooo healthy. Eats all the right foods 5 times a day and works out daily. Some people are just boney. She fluctuates like everyone else and since she was already thin, it made her smaller than desired. I can tell you now, I eat junk food like crazy because I am blessed with a high metabolism and I am young still so why not while I can. Even with all that junk I am stilllll boney.
I like the cutie in the background more!
But yeah.. she’s too skinny in my opinion.
Definitely too skinny. Just look at her leg when she’s flexing it to move = > NO MUSCLE
You need to starve to get your muscles to waste away like that.
She’s so cold looking, I think that makes her look “too thin”. She just looks brittle.
Omg you people. Does everyone have to be a size 12 now to be even considered beautiful?
Look at her structure. She has tiny bones. Anorexics and dieters don’t have tiny bones. She’s clearly naturally this thin.
I’m glad she’s not shoving cheeseburgers down her throat and giving herself heart disease just because she’s not fat enough for America.
Whoa… I don’t think anyone said she should be a size 12, or even remotely close to that. A size 12 would get picked apart to death on here for being too big.
As for your completely inaccurate and uneducated statement on anorexics and dieters, I suggest you check out any information on eating disorders and you will find that eating disorders affect people of every size, even those who have small bone structures.
Also, not everyone bigger than her (a size zero) shoves cheeseburgers down their throats. A lot of people eat healthy and manage to weigh more than 100 pounds.
you said everything I wanted to say.
Very nice Sarah, love you post.
And to the above poster, not everyone in America is fat. There are quite a few of us that lead a healthy lifestyle.
From reading comments on this website, a size 12 would NOT be picked apart. A few people would comment against it, but everybody else would jump on those people with, “What are you talking about? So-and-so is beautiful!” If you have anybody under a size 6, the majority of the posters claim that “So-and-so is too thin. Nobody likes skinny girls!”
As for becoming educated on eating disorders, I have read more research articles on that subject alone than you probably have read any research articles in a lifetime. I know what I’m talking about. You are right that anorexia affects all body types. But if you are naturally 100 pounds, it is unlikely that your environment would trigger anorexia, and compulsivity (main symptom of anorexia) will probably not be about weight since the person would feel in control of it. It would most likely affect normal or average body frames, and when they lose weight they don’t lose bone, so their bones stay the same structure before and after.
And no where did I say that everyone shoved cheeseburgers to weigh more than 100 pounds. Don’t twist my words around to make an argument against something I said that you didn’t like. I know several naturally thin, healthy girls that feel they need to gain 20 pounds, all because size 12′s keep telling them they’re ugly and no man will want them.
Are we going to fix certain problems by creating others? I hope not. Olivia looks beautiful here. If she’s happy and healthy, I’m not going to sit here and call her “too skinny” to console my own insecurities.
LOL A size 12 would NOT be picked apart on this site? Are we on the same site? Hell, size 8′s are picked apart(Sophia Bush and Hillary Duff come to mind, I don’t know what their sizes are exactly, but have you seen what people say about them?), anyone who appears bigger than a size 4 are picked apart. Yea, they have a lot of people that stick up for them, but it is false to say that the “bigger” girls on here don’t get picked apart. The vitriol and insults are even worse on the non-thin women. People comment on how a woman looks too thin(and they don’t even say it in a bad way), and they get jumped on and accused of being a jealous fattie or get accused of being fattie lovers. Or they get someone saying “does everyone need to be a size 12 to be beautiful now?” because they think it is insulting to say that someone looks too thin. Sorry, but Ms. Polermo looks a bit thinner than she should be. Do I think she needs to gain loads of weight? No, but I do think she needs to eat better and stop trying to fit into some silly ideal IF that is what she’s doing. To me, she doesn’t look 100% healthy at this weight, she’s bony and tired looking, doesn’t scream “I’m the weight I should be” to me. Could she be stressed and that’s why she looks that? Yes, which is why I said “IF that is what she’s doing”. I’ve seen plenty of naturally small women, and they all looked a bit more vibrant than she does, which is what I am basing my opinion on, and NOT on some belief that only “big” is beautiful. I like all natural and healthy types(but yes, I do prefer the curvy type over the others
), and can see the beauty of them all, I don’t think it’s right to try and make everyone think they have to fit into a narrow ideal.
I was about to take up for you until I read the stereotypical “fat American” comment. Go away with all of that hate.
Is this directed at me??? You posted under my comment so I am assuming you are, even though you’re referring to Sarah’s post.
“Anorexics and dieters don’t have tiny bones.” For someone who claims to be so educated on eating disorders, this sentence is completely inaccurate. Whatever…
She’s a bit too skinny, now her figure is boyish, she hasn’t got any curves. I prefer girls like Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, they got great curves but still skinny!
she is not naturally skinny, because i know from some articles that she lost a lot of weight a few years ago and kept it off.
she’s a bit sceletonish, sure, but i think it rather suits her, she’s kind of model-like. she’d look good w/ more pounds on her too, so what ever keeps her healthy… i love those shoes, Louboutins aren’t they? The dress i’m not feeling somehow, the belt looks like a gift wrapper. Or maybe it’s that she’s wearing all that beige, i’d prefer some added edge to the ensemble by wearing sharper colors even if only as accessories.
I think she is just a little too skinny. If she looks this frail in photos, imagine her in real life! Whenever I see famous australian models in the flesh, i’m always surprised at how much skinnier they are look than in their photos.
Facially speaking, i think she would be nothing without makeup. All the eye makeup and blush is the only thing that makes her face interesting.
she is too skinny and she look skinnier because of her body shape…she’s an inverted triangle I guess. I love her boots
That boy is cute
Even if she is “naturally thin,” she looks bad and she should probably try to gain a few lbs if appearance matters to her. I assume it does since she’s in the public eye.
The outfit is atrocious, but I like the hair and makeup.
She doesn’t look to have an eating disorder because she looks healthy still. You can’t fight your bonestructure in your body, so maybe she was “made” this way. I don’t think she looks THAT skinny like Mary Kate Olsen did in 2004, or like Nicky Hilton when she has her “i’m not gonna eat anything but air this month”. Maybe because she doesn’t look “bony” like other celebs.
Maybe she has to keep an diet to STAY that slim but no, she doesn’t look anorexic at all. She’s a pretty girl, but i don’t think she has that much style. She’s kinda boring
I think she’s too skinny but this doesn’t mean she has an eating disorder. And come on, these are only pics, how can you say that she has an eating disorder when you have never seen her in person. I mean, these are candid pictures, does she have to smile for every paparazzi?
Judging from these pictures, I don’t see her as unhappy or even unhealthy. Yes, she’s thin and would look better with some extra weight but this has nothing to do with her mental state, IMO.
1. Too skinny, not natural for her.
2. Don’t like her look.
Her face is beautiful.
I dont like the outfit much though.
she has the new york socialite look about her. well considering she is a socialite i suppose that makes sense. she is super super thin, but she doesn’t look or give off an unhealthy vibe, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t. who knows.
She looks like Kiera Knightly in the first pic. And this is much too skinny to be her natural weight. I bet she will gain in the next few years.
that boy is kind of laughing of her hahahah xD like “hahah stupid” and she looks so serious xD
she is too skinny for my taste :S and i dont like she looks in here she looks old what is wrong with her she is a beautiful girl (but kind of bitchy) she should looks hot not old
I think she doesen’t look bad at all. People in New York City, who have something to do with runways and fashion they gotta be skinny. Lol comon, why does everyone think skinny people are like anorexic? ANOREXIC doesn’t you starve yourself and all that shit. People should get skinny it’s hot. Every fashion model is thin out there. VIctoria’s Secret those girls are hot and gorgeous. And i don’t see anyone complaining about they’re weight. Skinny isn’t bad at all. It’s just that there’s too many fat ass americans out here, and they wanna be better.
THE TRUTH.
LOL, WE.
Anorexics eat. Anywhere from 500 – 1000 calories a day usually.
People shouldn’t get skinny, it isn’t hot if it’s not their natural body type. They should just focus on getting healthy-thin.
Troll???
She looks like somebody who may be naturally thin.
She gives me that Victoria Beckham vibe . . . impeccable style, incredibly thin, yet, so hard to not stare at. She’s gorgeous. I have not seen her in the media nearly enough to question the natural state of her body. I have a feeling that a lot of people here who are automatically calling her sick haven’t, either.
How can you tell whether she’s naturally thin or not from this picture?
Even if she does look a bit gaunt that could be a vitamin or iron deficiency, lack of sleep etc, not necessarily because she is starving herself. Or, it could be that she makes an effort to look this thin.
You can’t tell.
she’s a real ooh-ooh-the-latest-trends-and-fashion-girl,and i think she’s naturally thin,but also because she’s such a fashion addict that she wants to be really skinny. i think she’s a girl that wont just put anything in her mouth. i dont see her eating a burger or a sandwich
I live in NYC as well, and guys stare at me too. I have had an eating disoder where I became very skinny and guys still stared—but NOT because they liked what they saw. Yes, I was dressed very nicely and may have even been wearing a dress when this guy shouted out to me: “No t.i.t.s, no a.s.s!” Sorry for the vulgarity, but I just want to prove a point–that men will stare and even smile when they do NOT like something(if it deserves attnetion). She obviously looks well presented and that attracts the guy’s attnetion; that does not mean he is at all interested in her sexually.
You can see that her face is pale and her eyes are like in a completely different world. It’s just the makeup that tries to hide it. And i don’t like her dress…ugh
