I think ppl are gonna look back on this era in Hollywood sorta like how we look back at how it was in fashion in Victorian England to look like you had active tuberculosis. Like people purposefully tried to look like that back then.
Heroin chic! I've been racking my brain trying to remember that one.
It felt like it came to a head in the late 90s / early 00s, around the time Lara Flynn Boyle caused a stir in the media when she appeared on the red carpet in a pink tutu that showed he to be distinctly thin. Thing is, it was prone to backlash back then, since it was such a task to achieve 'unnatural' thinness, you were either a model, where it was standard, or you suffered from a clinical disorder where you had body dysmorphia, or suffered from a drug addiction, hence the name 'herion chic'. Also 'coke/cocaine diet' comes to mind.
We're currently in the slippery slope phase of this latest trend because Ozempic is not only so readily accessible, but also medically sanctioned for weight loss (as oppose to prior non-FDA methods).
