Miranda Kerr’s Scary Skinny Rooftop Photo Shoot
October 17th, 2009 by Rian | Filed under Models & Supermodels, Scary Skinny, Skinny Celebrities, Victoria's Secret Models.A scary skinny Miranda Kerr arrived at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art on Thursday to shoot scenes on the rooftop…
Photos via PacificCoastNews
I admit I hesitated to do this post because the girl in the roof photos doesn’t look at all (to me) like the girl arriving at the photo shoot itself.
I bet after viewing these photos, people will be changing their votes in this poll, which I posted only a few days ago!

her upper body looks very very thin, but her lower half just looks a good thin..shes probably a pear shape.
um..i don’t get it. I don’t think it’s scary skinny at all, you can’t even see her body here…
and her arms are just at a weird angle. i think she looks fine..
Ew…?
Ohh Miranda.. While I identify this is a funny angle which is probably distorting and making her look even thinner, she seems to have lost a lot of that pretty softness in her face. She’s starting to look a bit sharp and angular
i agree. she looks thin but vibrant.
yeah i agree with cello… she looks fine, Miranda Kerr is skinny but not etremely. definately funny angle. Her back doesnt show all those funny bones that u see on other emaciated models
Yikes! She should model for Ralph Lauren, they wouldn’t have to photoshop her to make her look emaciated!
I don’t think they’re very good angles, but that’s Miranda on the roof, no doubt. That’s her nose and her dimples.
If those are correct angles…yikes. Girl needs help :\
I love her legs, but her arm look gross in the 2nd pic. Guess it could be the angle.
She doesn’t look too thin at all!! She looks amazing!
Plus you can only see her arms in the roof top pics. How can anyone call her scary skinny from those angles? It’s ridiculous!
ugh… She’s so thin! I thought Victoria Secret’s models were supposed to have boobs?
I’ve seen other photos from this shoot that show much more of her body and, yes, she looks emaciated. Her arms are wasted away, and you can see all her ribs, even in a shot of her back.
But, sadly, there are people who post here who would still think she looks “good” even if they saw those.
Yeah, I’ve seen heaps more photos from this shoot as well and these don’t do her emaciation justice! She truly does look sickly in them. That said, I think she looks so great in the first and last pictures (when she is clothed).
@happygolucky is right. I’ve seen the other photos from this shoot aswell and she is emaciated in her upperbody. Her rib cage is protuding and she looks very pale to me.
ummm…you can see more with her clothes on than during the photoshoot.
is it just me? i think homegirl looks amazing..sure a few of the angles are definitely skewed, but otherwise her legs looked perfectly toned and so does her back
Her arms are scary skinny but the rest of her is just right.
I just think she has extremely thin arms…
Very weird angles– this happens when you photograph a 3-d object in 2-d. Given the source we shouldn’t be surprised that these may not be the most flattering shots. In her reg. street clothes she looks fine– glad she’s wearing more feminine boots and returned the others to Orlando’s closet. If she were not this weight(or close to it) do you think she would survive in the modeling world?
She looks exactly the same as she always has. Scary skinny? Not even close!
How is she a VS model, she doesn’t have any boobs!? She also looks like Cam Diaz here (facewise).
way too skinny, gross. 15lbs and she would be much more attractive long as it was from working out/muscle mass blah blah. She needs a box of Real chocolate, rather than indulging in chocolate ex-lax.
i think she looks fine not too skinny at all just normal.
Yeah I saw these a few days ago…she doesn’t look healthy anymore and definitely scary thin.
@connie…yeah she wouldn’t even need photoshop to look like those scary skinny models. Sad that RL is so out of touch and seems to promote ED’s.
I guess everyone who thinks she is scary skinny needs to look at these photos again. If you look again, you can see clearly that she is not scary skinny. If anything, these photos prove she isn’t scary at all.
Look at the tight bra from behind, you can see her skin and body fat extend past the tight bra. She certainly has body fat, and no bones, no shoulder blades, none of the classic signs of a scary skinny women. Just she has skinny arms.
I think these photos prove what 56% of us thought. Thanks for sharing them..
Looks perfect to me. This is NOT scary skinny. She is young, thin and pretty. We all should strive for that.
she looks ‘model’ thin…(please don’t moderate me!)
those are just weird angles! it’s paparazzi taking the pics from like behind bushes and hanging from trees! of course they’re going to look bizarre!!!
she’s gorgeous.
I don’t really understand why she has lost weight. I know there’s a ton of pressure in her industry but she has always been naturally very thin and VS models are known to be curvy.
I hope she gets a little healthier – none of her modelling contracts require her to look like a model on Lagerfeld’s runway. She should enjoy life/food etc.
s90, very eloquently put! i totally agree.
she looks a million times better with clothes on than off…which is characteristic of a lot of skeletal celebrities such as rachel zoe, MK olsen at her worst, and trinny goodall (UK tv presenter). miranda should keep her clothes on or gain at least 7 pounds.
No she is not too skinny she is just normal healthy girl.
I’m so glad that you did a Miranda post, because I saw her at the races (here in Melbourne) just yesterday! I was standing a few metres away, but in person she is even more gorgeous (she just glows) and her figure is really flawless. Surprisingly, she doesn’t look “scary skinny” in real life. Yes, she is very small boned and has long, lean limbs, but it all looks natural.
Where have your boobs gone?
And for the first 3 minutes, I couldn’t tell that it was her front or back in the 2nd picture. lOl.
she looks better clothed becuase shes covered her arms. her upper body is what is too thin. (ususally thats the first place to get too thin when you are starving yourself)i really dont understand why VS models are getting so thin. what happened ot healthy curvy vs models. even VS is giving in to the too thin model craze, what a shame
Ixora- are you serious? you can hardly see her face in this post.
@ RIAN BTW thanks for all the awesome post on a SATURDAY! u rock as always
I’ve of course noticed that many posters here seem to think ’scary skinny’ women look fine, but I’m still surprised at the poll results. Her arms look SO emaciated. This is not the picture of health.
She doesn’t look the same as she always did. She’s lost a LOT of weight. She doesn’t look entirely well now. Definately not “what we should all be striving for” unless we all want to hang out in an eating disorders ward…
Only person to ever look skinny from an angle looking up!
Ewww, how could anyone be so thin and so flabby at the same time? Look at how her “meat” squeezes out from her black top!
Her legs look nice, however. I guess she’s like me… loves to walk but hates to exercise the upper part of her body. Eheh.
I’m sorry but I don’t see scary skinny. She looks fine.
NOT scary skinny to me at all, if you are not skinny you cant work as a model, is in the job description, i don’t understand why people don’t get that.
Doesn’t look one bit like her.
I read this really stupid story about her weight loss recently. It was something like ‘Desperate to make the transition from commercial to high-fashion modelling, Miranda has embarked on a starvation diet with some friends saying she barely eats at all. Her BMI is now in the severely underweight category’.
I can see the weight loss here, but I don’t think she looks like an unhealthy girl! I really do feel she has a super fats metabolism so maybe if she’s started switching to salads she’d lose weight fast.
I hope she doesn’t lose anymore though.
I agree Takeeta – even if Miranda is healthy I don’t think there is any one body/figure that ‘we should all strive for’.
This will sound sappy but – the only thing we should all strive for is to be happy & accepting of ourselves and to try and do what is best for our bodies (rather than what will just shrink our bodies)
Scary skinny. That’s not healthy.
Although in these pictures she doesn’t look super skinnyin my opinion the skinniest part of her. I have seen other shots from this shoot, and it does look like she has lost weight, she is looking very thin.
the fact that she has like no breasts make her have a very thin frame…if she had bigger breast she wouldn´t look quite as scary skinny… to me, well, she looks fine
This isn’t right. She isn’t eating enough and it’s taken it’s toll on her formerly fabulous chest. Please, Miranda, try and bulk up with increasing portions and weight training!
It scares me that so many people think she looks good, “healthy”, “perfect”, or “is what we should be striving for”….
She is none of those things, she might not be as emaciated as some of the people on here, but she’s lost a lot of weight and is definitely headed that way. She’s starting to look really unhealthy. There is a major change in how her face looks too, she’s starting to get that sharp, aged face that so many scary skinny celebs get. To be honest I don’t think it looks at all like her in the face. What a shame, she used to be so cute.
I think I read that she is trying to go from VS model to more traditional runway model.. That is why she has lost weight. I think Miranda is really skinny but still looks happy and energetic.
I’ve worked with Miranda on the most recent David Jones parade and I can confirm that she is really ridiculously thin in person, more so than the photos give away.
Her legs look a fairly normal size in these photos but in real life they are tiny! We were fitting her outfits for the show and she had on a pair of size 6 pants and we had to take them in because they were too baggy.
Her arms are very scary skinny in real life, she’s very toned all over but still super thin.
Umm. Lets blame Orlando? His girlfriends tend to have this weird skinning route. Lol. JK.
I dont think she looks as delicious as she used to. Just very thin. But hey, its her life and obviously she likes to “diet”, her choice. She is doing it for the money anyway…
R U kiddin´me? She should eat something.Immediately. Ewhg.
god dont you all see that this is so not miranda kerr? man..
She looks amazing! Sie sieht einfach nur bezaubernd aus!
WOW-5;9 about 110 i am guessing–wayyy too thin-she would look better with 10-15 more lbs and still be skinny
Yeah, she is just contorting her body so it seems like she’s a lot skinnier. Though I do think she’s lost some weight- maybe 5 lbs at the most.
Gorgeous as always though!
Way, way too thin. Definitely not just “small-boned”, although she is that. This is diet-induced. I liked her body much better before, with 10-15 more pounds.
Where did her boobs go? In the VS catalogs, she is voluptuous!
@ Connie…agree..if she were w/Ralph Lauren; they would NOT have to photoshop her. Think Miranda is losing weight (at a fast pace, it seems)! She is looking waaay too thin/emaciated. Maybe she is another casualty of Orlando Bloom. Isn’t that the same guy that Kate Bosworth used to date in some of her scary skinny days? Kate, btw, is looking much better/on the road to health.
can anyoneof you tell me where i can see the other photos from this shoot?? thx
Miranda is most defn. a skinny pear, like Misha Barton or Keira Knightly, who carry their weight in her legs- so when their legs look super banging (which her`s they do here) she will look very thin up top. This is why she looks fine with a jacket on. She is defn. entering the lollipop zone and needs to maintain or gain a couple of pounds- but as she is breaking into `editorial` modeling she will most likely not gain and may even lose if she does not get the bookings she expects.
She has the most beautiful baby face and peachy skin, that I really hope she doesn`t continue to lose and harden her looks.
Gorgeous!
Ya, looks like she needs to lay off the heroin!!!!!!!
Ew she does not look pretty anymore, wheres the glow?
The first pic looks like normal to me. The others, nottt so much. Is she a model or a drug addict?
I definitely don’t see “scary skinny” here at ALL.
She is such a naturally beautiful gal, but it appears like she has lost weight and she was thin to begin with….
God what is WRONG with you people!?!?! All of you who thinks “she isnt scary skinny AT ALL!!” must have been brainwashed!!!! It makes me so angry reading all of these comments
I think she looks good. Could use 3-5 more lbs I think, but I like super skinny. It is sad to know that they totally push up, tape up and stuff her bra in the VS catalog, bc she DOES have great boobs in those pictures. Anyone know who this dress/skirt is designed by? Mandy Moore was wearing the same print.
There is a candid topless pic of her in this months Playboy, apparently on a VS photo shoot in the Caribbean. I do not know when it was taken, but she did not appear to be scary skinny, just “model” skinny.
I don’t see the scary skinny thing at all here.
It’s weird because her legs look thin but not scary skinny. Her arms on the other hand are skin & bone. I also find it really weird that she has that ’skinny-fat’ bulge over the bra part in the first pic after the jump. I don’t know what to think! I love her hair!
uhh no, she looks normal….
I think it might be how she holds her weight, kind of like Lindsay Lohan, her top area like her arms get really really boney skinny while her hips and legs just look thin but not scarily so if that makes sense?
I love Miranda and I agree she takes very good care of herself and is naturally skinny, however she is looking too too thin lately, even for her. Maybe it’s stress or just not eating enough.
izzy, that’s what I was saying too! But everyone insists it’s her…
i don’t think she’s scary skinny AT ALL!! just normal..
I saw more pics from this shoot as well on other sites and in one you can count her ribs – not a good look.
She is beuatiful but shouldn’t lose any more weight
she looks amazing. I’d kill for those legs
Her chest in pics are photo-shop too look bigger. She skinny.
She does look skinnier than in the last post, but this is because she’s wearing heels. Honestly, she’s always been stick thin.
Hmmm…I don’t see it (the scary skinny). I think she look sgreat!
She is pretty skinny-fat. Which is a sign that she doesn’t work out or eat much. Way to earn your body, Miranda. Lame.
Any guessses on stats at 5′9?or bmi?maybe 18?
woah carrie haha definately not bmi 18, shes probably between 16-17
The other pictures from the shoot show how skinny she is much better than these pics do. Seriously. Everyone who doesn’t think she’s scary skinny needs to google “Miranda Kerr rooftop” and see for themselves. Bones everywhere.
i think that she has a healthy lower body but her upper body just seems a little awkward.
@PandaBear, the skirt looks like an Isabel Marant to me, she loves the designer.
Some of these posts are quite alarming (ie. those who think she looks healthy). For those who think she is healthy – please define what ’scary skinny’ is then! Who would fie (albeit barely) in the mould of ’scary skinny’?
to be precise,Isabel Marant fall 2009.
Um, yeah. Her arms are as thin as my wrists.
Scary skinny indeed (and rather unattractive if you ask me)
These pics don’t even show how skinny she is…google them, you’ll see one with her backbones and ribs showing all over the place. Just put the other pics Ryan, then people will see how skinny she really is
(Rian, I’m not posting a link, and I hope this is still not against the rules…)
to answer @mary ’s question:
if you google: miranda kerr roof corset
the first hit should give you a picture of her from behind. You can count every bone in her spine.
She’s so leggy! Lucky woman. But we should all strive to be “young, thin and pretty?” Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! That’s hilarious.
I think she’s perfect. Not too skinny. I think the small chest gives the illusion of being too thin. They must photoshop boobs on her because I never knew she was that small.
Fantastic body, great legs, pretty face.
She does look spectacular in her clothes, though (the back of that skirt is FANTASTIC. If only it weren’t 500 dollars…) And I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought she looked like cameron diaz.
What are you talking about??? She looks the same size in both.
I don’t understand why she thought she needed to lose weight?
@ rian, you’re probably sick of everyone insisting, but really it is
The photoshoot is displayed in Grazia magazine today along with an interview with her.
i think she’s not scary skinny
they ARE many scary skinny models out there, she’s not one of them.
it’s just weird angles that are making it look like her bones are jutting
fabulous outfit and shoes!
it is her in all of these photos. she looks fine in the first lot of photos. skinny, but not as skinny as the second lot. the second lot look way too thin!
Sophie- and anyone else who was wondering… she actually walked for Balenciaga during Paris Fashion Week and Nicholas Ghesquiere is known for hand picking only the skinniest of girls for his show, so I think that is what the tabloids are alluding to re: her ambition to break into high fashion modelling. I wrote about it on my blog (Fashionmorebidity) but i know we’re not allowed to include links here so delete this sentence if need be Rian!
you’d be surprised how many big high-fashion names started out doing VS (and they all began a lot curvier!!) Eg Natasha Poly, Carmen Kass, Isabeli Fontana…
She’s skinny for her, I think, but she’s not “too skinny,” in my opinion. She still has decent muscle tone in her legs, and her upper body does not appear to have protruding bones everywhere. She’s thin, definitely, but she almost has kind of a distance runner body right now–with the skinny, borderline emaciated, upper half & slightly “larger” (a relative term, as nothing about her is large) more muscular legs.
i totally agree with katty. kate bosworth was really thin when she was dating orlando. now miranda is losing too. hmm…
you need to post the photos of her back that have been floating around from this shoot. those are scary looking. interesting that certain men in hollywood only date super skinny girls. just like joel from god charlotte dating hilary duff when she was unhealthy then nicole richie who is always plastered all over pro ana websites. i know there are men who like thin girls but i can’t believe there are men who like emaciated women, but there are.
Hmm… wonder why my comment wasnt posted? Cant be as bad as some others here?
If she put on about 10-15lbs like a few people suggested she wouldn’t have a job. There is enormous pressure in the industry to be as thin as possible.
Models are skinny — I don’t know why people are always so surprised by this.
I have read places that this girl works out 2 hours a day…but I’m sorry this isn’t a I workout for 2 hours a day type of body…this is a I don’t eat a lot in a day type of body.
I think she looks amazing. I know she’s super skinny, but that’s what I love about her.
1. she is a model, 2. she is not scary skinny and 3. different angles can make people’s bodies look seriously deformed, like here.. She has a thin frame and you can tell because her bones arent sticking out, she has some meat…
Well, she definately is scary skinny! I saw more pictures of the above, and you could see all her ribs, it was super scary to see!
I learned this pose myself from reading an interview with Cindy Crawford. It’s a pose you’d use in a bathing suit (I also use it with strapless tops/dresses) – you shrug your shoulders, elbows forward, hands on hips, round your upper back. It makes your arms look thinnera an collar bone stick out. It also pushes the tummy and hips away from the camers. This girl looks model thin but ok.
PS – I don’t even think the girl in the suit IS Miranda Kerr.
To the people saying this is not Miranda Kerr – what’s wrong with you? Don’t you recognise her face?
I saw a bunch of other pic’s from this shoot…..and I did gasp. She actually looks not too bad in these photos….but the others…yikes
Bottom line is that when you are this thin, even a couple pounds make a huge difference. Miss one meal and youre headed to Skeletonville Her face still looks ok, though.
I think it is the angle like others have said. She looks fine to me no where close to being emaciated.
Either you have a very broad definition of “scary skinny” or I have a very broad definition of “healthy skinny”, but I don’t think she’s that thin. Especially considering she’s a model, and I just think all models are naturally sticks. And when I say that, I mean they’re naturally skinny and if they were to go on a normal, healthy diet, they’d look skinnier/lose more weight than an average height/average metabolism woman.
But, yeah, if the outline of her shoulder blades is not apparent at first glance, I don’t think she’s “scary skinny”. And clearly she has fat being pushed up from her bra–something only someone WITH FAT would have!
even tho i think that body mass index is silly- i would say she is much lower than eighteen, probably between sixteen and seventeen
I think she’s quite skinny but she still looks really good.
Terrible profile.
I think she is too tiny.
This really is an anomaly…there are additional photos from this shoot on the Daily Mail site, and though she looks REALLY scary from the back when she’s doing that high-fashion hunch, from the side and front she looks totally fine! I think it might be an angle thing. I’m not all that thin but my arms always look tiny from the back.
This right here sums it up (from the hollywood gossip):
“Just a quick note to all you models around the world and the quote-unquote high fashion magazines who seem to encourage this type of appearance:
Skeletal does not equal hot.
Honestly, is her shoulder blade going to pop out? Is there any flesh on that arm? To think people criticize Jessica Simpson for looking curvy and normal. Yeesh.”
statsa guesses?5′9115-120ish?
She looks physically weak. Still pretty though.
The closer a body part is to the camera, the bigger it’s supposed to look. Her elbows are closer to the camera yet they look like they could break easily.
HMM..I really don’t understand?? She looks completely fine, no bones or anything and also she has always been that thin. Why suddenly label her too skinny? And about the arms – some people just have skinny arms no matter what they weigh. It’s called structure, people.
I saw more of these pictures in a magazine (famous) and she does look terribly skinny, and pale.. a shadow of her previous pretty, curvy, healthy self
DEFINATELY changing my vote…wow, she is way too thin. Look at her arms! you know when there is such a lack of muscle and fat your arm sinks in to your tendons that’s BAD.
Poor girl needs at least 15 lbs on her. And I hate to say this, but most Victoria Secret models are sexy…and she’s just scary.
ahaha i was wondering when these photos would appear on this site. definitely too thin. what happened to sexy curves?!
It’s spring in Sydney. I would offer the suggestion that she is wearing a scarf and velvet jacket is because she has no fat on her body to keep her warm in 23-25 degree celsius warmth.
she’s skinny but not any thinner than Chanel Imam in the next post and you haven’t labelled her as “scary”.
best leggs no boooooobs
i think she looks scary skinny because of the angles the photos were taken at. but she’s already a tiny toned girl.
i saw the pictures of her actually ON the rooftop (full body) and she’s definitely lost weight. But it entertains me to look in the scary skinny section and read the comments, everyone is so shocked. It’s so UNshocking to me to see women this skinny. Almost all women in LA look like this, it’s so normal.
pretty thin. felt hungry looking at the photos
The 3rd picture down looks like Mila Kunis
What??? In the first rooftop photo she’s got fat bulges over the straps of her bikini. She’s just regular. No scary skinny, jutting bones alerts here.
she looks great! she has always been slim, and thats a good thng. Extermely skinny = the old nicole richie. and she sed 2be at too. so ya miranda kerr looks fine. Stop hatin
she looks great! she has always been slim, and thats a good thng. Extermely skinny = the old nicole richie. and she used 2be fat too. so ya miranda kerr looks fine. Stop hatinnnnnnnn! ah
she does not have a beautiful body, she is just a plain old thinny
