Hilary Duff Is Gaining, Too
July 4th, 2008 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Hilary Duff.I hate to say it, but every time I see new photos of Hilary Duff, she looks to have gained just a few more pounds.
Some of my long-time readers may recall that Hilary was one of the first celebrities whose somewhat dramatic weight loss back in 2005 was chronicled on this website… so it’s kind of interesting to see her 2 1/2 years later gaining it all back.
She still looks to be at a healthy weight though.
What do YOU all think?
She has definately gained but still looks OK. Could lose 10 pounds or so.
its called: having a boyfriend!
love her bag btw: anyone who knows wich designer?
the fat lady with brown hair in the background is her mother
she’s definitely gained, but she still looks good. she had talked about taking drastic measures and not eating in fear of gaining weight, so its good to see she’s getting more comfortable with herself. now that she’s gained weight, at least she doesn’t look as old! good for her!
ugh fat arms. so unfortunate
the weight always goes straight to her arms eh
Her arms look big, but I think she does look cute! When she was really skinny her face was so ugly now her face looks better!
ohhh my, i never realized how big her arms look. makes me feel better
but overall she looks good. shes still pretty.
awww… it’s lizzy mcgwire! she could flatter her body alot better and the small weight she’s gained wouldn’t be THAT noticable.
ummm… I don’t know about healthy… any more weight and I think she will be heading into overweight territory. Yeah… if she stops gaining here and she is healthy and comfortable with herself, then it’s fine if she stays at this weight, but another 10 pounds and she’s putting her health at risk
her arms are a little bit thicker as they usually are…but i still think her figure’s okay. and i luuurve her legs=)
She is defin. in Chubbsville….
Before her arms and shoulder were the main problems area…But now her hips and thights are very chunky looking.
She just looks thick!
Lose 10 pounds and you will be smoking Hil….
she is beautiful and not a skinny stick woman…she looks great and it would be great if more of them would look healthier…
she is pretty
she’s kinda fat now. she looked better slimmer.
If you click the archives button, you can quickly spot a yo-yo thing going on. she was getting heavier last August, looked real thin in March—she needs to settle in and not go up or down much.
She clearly gains fairly easily. It always goes straight to her arms. She obviously has to work pretty hard to stay thin - can you imagine just how drastic her measures were to be so thin back in the toothpick days?
I’m astonished that some people on this site (who wouldn’t be here if they weren’t used to determining what is thin and what is fat), think that she is heading towards overweight. Hillary has always had naturally chubby arms and they are where the weight goes. Ignore them and look at her figure - she is slim. Not even near overweight. Come on people, we need to get our general body image in perspective here.
she looks good. she was definitely scary skinny for a while a few years ago. Even though, some of these girls look chunky in pictures in real life they are soooo skinny, so don’t judge too harshly. hilary’s probably no more than 115 lbs.
poor girl gained in the upper arm region - otherwise she looks good!
She’s so cute and can pretty much pull off any weight, just like Kylie Minogue!!!
She looks cute.
if i had her kind of money and those arms (with the rest of her looking perfect) i would have something done to them (liposuction or whatever) because they’re her only problem area.
Yeah, she’s gained but she looks good! The weight-gain is the most noticeable in her arms and her face, so when she gains weight it’s out there for everyone to see..
WHO is the designer of that bag i want to know that too!!!!!!
cute cute shades!!!!
who makes them???? :/
x0×0
OMG- I haven’t tight rolled my pants since I was in the 6th grade!
Rockin’ shoes and bag! Love ‘em.
Hillary needed to gain the weight back. She looked horrible in that second Cheaper by the Dozen movie. Waaaay too thin. Made her face look old and harsh. She looks young and hip with the weight.
Yeah, I saw a magazine interview with her and they had pics of her from 2005 or so and she was really skinny then. She claims it was because she hadn’t fully gone through puberty yet and she was still growing. It doesn’t look like she has gone back to being very skinny again, so maybe she was telling the truth. She is definitely a little softer-looking now.
Oh, and I was going to say the same thing about the tight-rolled pants, Ames…I haven’t seen those in YEARS!
Yikes! She has put on a few (more). That outfit is horrific.
She looks sooooo much better!! you can see it in her arms and a little inn her face, but it’s a lot better then how she looked a couple years ago!
(and i agree that it might have something to do with having a boyfriend =])
She looks the same as last time she was on this site. But she could stand to lose 10 lbs. She is still beautiful though
I agree with the other posters saying that she’s unfortunate to have gained in her upper body - arms to be specific. Ignoring her arms, she seems to be in good shape. Look at those legs! Healthy and still slim. There’s no denying her weight gain, but is this a bag thing? No, when she was waif-like, she really did look unhappy and more importantly unhealthy. Now she looks happy and healthy - nowhere near overweight.
a bad thing* haha
she looks awful
I think she looks much better with this weight than skinny. She’s a very pretty girl
This is sad and upsetting how people can call her fat she’s healthy and she has a woman’s body not a boy body she’s not overweight idiots
I don’t think she is healthy as all! No one should loose and gain that much weight in so little time unless for medical reasons.
hilary duff has always been like that: weight disproportionately in the arms. if she just lifted weight and ate a slight caloric deficit, she could easily tone them. she doesn’t need to lose weight and she certainly doesn’t need liposuction (nobody does), just a personal trainer who actually knows what (s)he is doing.
She is almost back where she was before she lost the weight years ago. I think she looks better with the weight. Her face looked so tired and strained all the time when she was tiny.
I have to admit that Hilary does seem to have added a few more lbs than the last set of pictures (in which it showed that she had gained a few lbs back then.)! She does appear (to look) softer here, though. Unfortunately, Hilary seems to show her weight gain(s) in her arms (upper arms) and her face. (Although, in these pics, her upper legs look like she may have added some weight in that area as well!) The added weight, IMO, I tend to agree… that her weight increase(s) have a lot to do with her boyfriend, Mike-”something”, the hockey player. She obviously seems happy and self-confident and very happy (in love). He bought her this terribly expensive car..a Mercedes or some type of “uber-expensive” car for her 20th birthday last year. I think Hil will be 21 in October, 2008. She didn’t look well when she was so skinny (back in 2005, I believe…when it was estimated that she was around 92 or 95 lbs.) I think she looks best at around 105-to-108 lbs…like she did in her bikini shot on SHAPE Magazine awhile back. She’s only 5′2″ or 5′3″ so at around 108 lbs would be ideal for her. But she did a great deal of gymnastic training when she was younger and that could attribute her “thick” type look. Whenever she gains a few lbs, it really shows up on her. I think if she lost about 10 pounds (if she is really 115 pounds now)…she’d look so much better. She just has a “roundish” body type (except when Hilary was on her scarily skinny starvation dieting mode). IMO, I believe that Britney Spears, even when she was younger at 17 or 18…she was adorable and thin…but still had a “roundness” about her. As long as Hilary is happy, confident, and at peace with her body, etc. it’s all GOOD! Hilary did that film, “War,Inc” where she played a pop star…she look pretty thin in that movie. She had to put a scorpion down her pants and her tummy looked really flat (thin, too) and she just looked thinner overall “body-wise”! As someone mentioned, Hilary (sorry to say) is going to be one of those yo-yo dieters. She just has this adorable-ness about her whether she is a bit under-weight (except when too scary skinny OR at her current weight)! Being short is not going to be ‘in her favor’, either, cause just 2 or 3 lbs fluctuation is going to be VERY APPARENT on her frame.
OK, I realize she is not fat, BUT, she is puffy. If she wanted to look her best she could lose 5 pounds. She is hiding a belly underneath thar shirt, and her arms are a little full.
Poor girl..leave her alone.
leanna, do you know what you’re talking about? Your health might be at risk with a BMI of like 30. She is nowhere near that. Hers is probably like 21-22. Just guessing. But definitely not obese.
And, yes, I know, you are overweight with a BMI of 25 and up. But that is only slightly overweight and not dangerous. People at that weight are actually proven to live longer.
Last October you had a before and after of her from 2006–really skinny—to 2007—several pounds heavier.
Then in February, she looks really skinny again in that shorts outfit—then in May, she was in a black dress as one of the most alluring bodies—now she is heavier than then–I still say there has been some yo-yoing—which does not always work well.
I don’t know why having or not having a boyfriend would have anything to do with your weight. She definitely could use to lose some pounds now, tho she’s always pretty facially. She’s gotten a bit too doughy looking, and it’s not her best look. She can do better than this. If that is her mother in the background, Hilary had best keep up at least a light workout schedule to stay toned. She doesn’t want to end up looking like that, her mother looks like a truck.
I really like her look in these pix. The straight hair makes a nice change. My only criticism is the upper arms - a little chunky for my liking.
I think she unfortunately has any weight she puts on o straight to her face and arms… and she ends up lookinng puffy after even the sightest weight gain. She’s still got some smokin hot legs even wearing pants! I LOVE those shoes!
Oh dear…she seems to be returning to her Lizzie Mcguire chubby days.
oh arms… i have that same problem — working them out helps and eating less helps, but they are still proportionately always bigger than other parts of me… its called genetics
What is so wrong with her “Lizzie McGuire chubby days”? She looked young and cute there. When she was skinny her face looked elongated, her teeth seemed huge in comparison and she resembled a horse (much like Haylie does). She looks happy and healthy here. I like this look.
I still think she looks amazing and she is such a great role model for all girls and young women everywhere!!
She looks so much better with a little but of weight on her. And those of you who think she’s nearly overweight, chubby, etc., are absolutely ridiculous.
Other than her arms she looks okay. I hate armfat.
mama always taught me to put away the suede shoes until september…
mama always taught me to put away the suede shoes until september…
the girl is cute. so she’s gained of few pounds most noticable in her arms.. but definitely healthier looking than her gaunt days dating joel madden. that’s her mom in the background..she does need to worry when she gets older though cuz that possibility of extra weight when she gets older is in her genes.
ewwwwwwwwwwww look at her arm!!!!!!!!!! she IS fat, thats not healthy, she’s deff overweight according to bmi!!!!!!
Minus those awful shoes, I think she looks good. No, she’s not stick-thin, but since when do I want to see the chest bones popping out of my favorite celebrities? She looks healthy and vibrant, not pale, starving, and sad. This is what women should look up to, not a bunch of bobbleheaded It Girls with a BMI of 15.
She’s a gorgeous girl but the combination of a short neck and chubby arms does make her appear to be a heavy girl.
She’s gained a TON. For those of you who think she’s only like 115, I think you’re way off. She’s got to be AT LEAST 130. She’s a couple of inches taller than me, but I look a whole lot thinner than she does, and I don’t weigh 115.
i love hilary but it’s those arms!
hmm. maybe it looks like she gained because of the WHITE A shaped shirt and the skinny plaid pants. She still looks great though. However The oufit is horrendous.
i think she is 5′1″ and i’m guessing 120 lbs? what do you all think?
She looks okay. She’s gained some weight, and looks under-exercised.
Personally, I don’t like her pants and shoes. Crudely rolling up those pants, and pairing them with those heels look tacky.
her upper body always looks chubby unless she’s super skinny
Oddly, I think she looks really cute with the extra chub. I have no idea why . . . maybe she looks less “horsey” with more meat on her?
She is still beautiful and is still one of my favorite actresses! But wow, her arms look way bigger than they used to!
i think she does have gained weight, but shes still so pretty…
she was ugly when she was a stick figure.
i’m NOT for fat/obese people, but i’m for normal-weight people who dont starve!
( if someones naturally skinny of course its ok )
With everybody on here calling this girl fat, it’s no wonder we have an uprise of anorexia and eating disorders. If she’s fat, then Paris Hilton must be at a healthy weight, right? (In case you couldn’t guess…that was sarcasm). There is NOTHING over weight or chubby about this girl and the fact that you people have nothing better to do than sit on your butts at your computers and judge her on -her- fat, just further proves the hypocracy here.
Go get ‘em, Duff. You don’t need to lose a thing.
I would like to know WHAT are you people who think she has fat arms looking at?? The only one where her arms look a little thick is the third one down and it’s obvious it’s only a result of the fact that her arm is tucked next to her side and the angle of the shot. Try that pose out at home, folks. It’d make anyone look like they have oddly fat arms.
team hilary! i hate to admit it but she is probably my favorite celeb after mk. shes so freaking cute! she just gains in her arms. its not that big of a deal. lay of the chubby comments. yeah, shes gained. but she’s precious! you KNOW you miss lizzie mcguire…
I think her face was a lot more beautiful when she was really thin. Really, she was a beauty then, and now she’s a cutie. And why is she ’showing off’ her arms? Even if it’s hot in California or wherever, I’d cover them up in black.
Karly, really?
You wrote like an essay.
P.s: She is so cute:)
even celebrities are pegging now
OMG Hilary looks the best I’ve seen her look in a loooong while!!!
Love her she is so sweet without being fake or over the top.
Beautiful girl, gorgeous enviable figure, LOVE her hair atm. The lighter hair suits her.
i thinks he still has really nice ankles & I
i love her and i think she looks great!
Oh no, whats going on with her-cant believe it. She so fat meanwhile and shes still gaining.
Oh no, whats going on with her-shes so fat meanwhile, and shes still gaining.
i actually think she luks healthy n fine wen she was in lizzie mcguire. 2 me, she luks perfectly healthy n fine even till now. her problem is only her arms. other den dt, she’d never luk fat! but yes, i think she suffers from yo-yo dieting. it’s not gud. her weight fluctuates so often. i feel for her cos i have d same problem 2.. but overall, she’s NOT fat. NEVER. i luv hilary!
I don’t think she’s one of the people who can handle being at that weight.. I think she needs to lose a couple.
Yeah. She’s morbidly obese. A regular orca in training. She looks incredibly unhappy, as if she gives 1,000 shits and damns about not being super-skinny.
she is cute
I don’t like any of her work, so I don’t like to say this, but…
she looks fantastic! Leave her alone!
See her mom behind her in one of the pictures? That is Hilary’s destiny. No matter how much she fights it, she will end up looking like that. A couple missed work outs, a few big meals and she is on the road to fatty-ville (IMO she is already starting down that road–those arms!!!). It’s all in the genes, and weight-wise, she’s got bad ones.
she looks like she doesnt work out, at all, ever. i think if she picked up a little cardio and some weight training to tone up those arms shed look much better. and she def weighs more than 115, id say shes about 120-125.
DEFINITELY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE!!!GREAT!!
even if she has gained a little, who cares. she was too skinny at one point and i personally would rather see people looking a little heavier and healthy than stick thin unhealthy.
Chloe Bag
Poor girl, all the weight she gains goes straight to her arms. Love her hair, though.
Ugh!
Petunia Pig or Miss Piggy going to be her next roll? Porkly wretch wear some sleaves and hide your shame!
LOL
No, but she is kinda chunk-o. ANd that outfit isnt helping.
you people are morons.
putting her health at risk?
if she were 10 lbs LIGHTER she would be putting her health at risk..
she looks beautiful.
she still looks good whatever what weight she is
she still looks good no matter what weight she is
she looks better with some weight on her i think, but not to much. she could lose maybe 5 no more than 10 lbs. but that jus me.
She needs to NOT get caught in the yo-yo diet trap like Jessica Simpson. She looks good now.
i like how she hasnt conformed to the whole paris and lohan way of life, and she looks great almost all the time anyway! better as a brunette tho!
That baggy t is definitely hiding something, I bet she has a chubby tummy to match those chubby arms… Love the shoes though!
i have those pants!!!! paid $15 bucks for them at ross. haha yeah she def gained.
her face looks incredibly cute in the second photo
she looked better skinny. i saw her perform live a couple years ago when she was thinner, and she looked amazing.
i don’t care for those pants much….
but i do like her bag and shirt!!
anyways, i love her.
she’s adorable no matter what!
so what, she has a “problem area”…
most people do…it makes her seem more normal..so lay off of hil!
and as for the person who mentioned “the fat woman in the back” being hilary’s mum, is that really necessary?…the answer is no if you’re too dumb to figure that out with your superficially obsessed brain
Cinnamon: no offense, but that’s one of the craziest posts I’ve read here, and that says a lot.
at least her face doesn’t look old like when she was skinny anymore!
She actually look younger and better with the extra weight, like in her lizzie days. I just didn’t like her as a stick insect but she could consider some arm toning now. I still think she looks so much better than when she was super skinny.
Anyway, she seems like a nice enough girl.
She has definatly gained back most of the weight that she lost(not all of it just yet), but i think she looks good either way.
Btw. i love her shoes!!
in my opinion, she looks fat. I liked her much more when she was thinner.
The arms are really bad, her clothes would fit better if she loose 10 pounds (or more)
(But the bag looks good!)
she looks like the old hilary,she used to look like this before the 2005 weight loss.her face is nicer now but I don’t like her new body,I don’t think she’s fat now but she’s getting bigger and bigger…her arms are fat and untoned and she’s gaining everywhere.not good.she can(not must)lose 7-10 lbs and stay healthy.
Wow, gaining the weight makes her look younger again! I remember when she lost weight, she lost her baby fat in her face and looked more mature. Now she looks like the way she looked in her Lizzie Mcguire days. She still looks pretty though.
I can understand weight gain attributed to having a boyfriend… at least it is with me sometimes. Going out to eat more often, getting overly comfortable with them…yanno, lol
I like the skinny hillary duff better.
I think she’s beautiful no matter what, and come on guys, she looks healthy and happy, and definately a lot better than back in 05 when she was a total sceletal!!
In the 3rd picture her arm looks bigger than it is b/c it’s pressed against her body.
I’m curious what the comments on her body (and other bodies as well) would be if her head were not visible and therefore we couldn’t see who this is…
Man y’all need to stop hatin, this chick look fine. She gained weight, but in the right places. She don’t need to look like no bobblehead
give me a break! she does not look fat/chubby - even in the arms!!!!!!! she looks great,and healthy!
BS … she looks hot as hell now. Why does everyone here think you need to be unhealthily thin to be attractive?
That shirt is hiding a multitude of sin and is long enough so that if her pants split no one will notice.
lovely pants & pumps
She looks cute, her arms do look a little bigger, but she looks pretty happy.
I like her glasses.
She looks great. People give celebs a hard time about not being super-skinny. I guarantee you, if she were a regular person and lived in YOUR town, people would be like, “Wow, she looks fabulous!”

Well said, Viv!
I think she looks good, and i really like the rolled up pants with the blue suede pumps that she’s wearing. fashion genius
She’s become so womanly now, but still retains some natural preppiness. I’m quite alright with her: at least, she’s way better than LiLo. LOVE HER SHOES!!!
beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. she looks healthy and happy, and i think that makes her look wonderful
definately looks younger face-wise but her body is that of a healthy 30 year old’s. Hilary’s one of those people who has to choose between her face or her body.
being chubby makes her look younger, i cant say i like it, sure it makes me feel better and its good to see shes healthy, but she looked better skinny.
she isn’t chubby just healthy
so many already said it, it does go to her arms, but she looks so much better with more weight to her. For awhile, she was looking quite thin and her face was very thin looking. Good for her….her legs still look thin…cute pants too!
yay! I’ve always thought Hillary looked good with some chub on her frame. She looks so much sweeter and innocent. She was starting to look trashy with her clothes and makeup when she was thin. I like this much better.
I think she looks fine. Yeah, she’s gained a couple of pounds but who hasn’t? If she feels beautiful, confident and sexy, who’s to call her otherwise.
Whoa, she looks really big in the 3rd picture. I think Hilary is gaining a little too much.
i like the fact that she gained weight because she doesnt look right as a lollipop head…she looks healthier at this weight i hope she doenst gain anymore
She’s soooo much cuter!
Y’know, super-skinny ain’t for every girl.
thank goodness she’s gained some weight back. she looks so much better!
wtf is going on with the rolled hems on her slacks? and the stupid blue dsw clearance-rack shoes have to go. (suede in summer??)
uh, and while i’m on a bash-fest:
* shirt style doesn’t not work with the trouser style
* bags doesn’t match anything else she’s wearing
* bag metal doesn’t match the jewelry (sorry, i am a stickler on this point)
* the glasses are a bad shape for her face and add weight (and are just plain ol’ ugly)
her arms and face do look heavy, but not so different from any other normal girl.
i think she looks healthy.. although i wouldnt want to look like her
i agree with kylie that i think she looks healthy a little but i wouldnt want to look like her though….her face is cute kind of but i dont like her hair
whoa she’s lookin huge lately
It seems to be that she used to be bulimic. The same thing happened to me. After a couple of years of doing it, your body gets used to the intake of calories and gains everything all back. Thats what she did WITHOUT A DOUBT.
God I would love arms like that! And I’m hardly huge (UK 10)
yep deffinitly she gaind.but shes still cute.its hard to look like a whale when you re only about 155cm tall and have such a cute face.so i forgive her.officially.
i think she looks great with the extra weight on.
but as you can tell with her mother in the background that if she were to gain a lot of weight - she’d look just like her.
it’s great to see her look “cute” again. she was getting way to skinny back then. she was completely losing her cuteness.
She’s rather short, so I would say according to BMI she’s owerweight already…
hilary duff is gorgeous no matter what !
I can’t get over that people are calling her fat looking at this picture! Am I blind or something? she just looks healthy, and still quite thin, She was very skinny, and now she’s gained a few helthy pounds, that doesn’t make her fat! She looks average to me!
