Size zero is out - curves are back in

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Here at Stylelist we try to make sure we do a good job of covering fashion for all sizes. We can't say that we were ever big fans of the super size zero trend because of the insane amount of pressure it puts on normal non-celeb women to be unhealthy in their quest for thinness. So, we're relieved to hear cries from the rooftops that size zero is back out and curves are back in!

The proof is in the pudding. Karl Lagerfeld was recently quoted after sending girls away from a casting because, "They looked as if they had grown up in a Third World country with no food to eat."

That is both cruel and unusual to demand such a ridiculous beauty ideal from models and then punish them if they take it too far -- yet we're still hoping this means the end of an anorexic era. Hopefully other designers will be kinder to the models in telling them to put on a few pounds.

Other signs that size zero is out -- Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Mary Kate Olsen. All three of those girls were part of the brat pack that ushered the era in, and now they're back -- maybe not to normal, but at least back from the brink of death.
