aww not going to lie, i like her better skinny, but as long as shes happy and healthy
i think shes totally gorgeous though.
Skinny is lovely, but not when it is un-natural and Jessicas skinny body was forced.
Her face looks much prettier with a bit of weight on
She’s cute and she looks a lot better, but I think that outfit is a bit unflattering. I’m sure she looks so great in a better outfit!
prefer her skinny…now she is just untoned!
Wow, it doesn’t even look like the same person!
She looks good now! We can’t really tell because she’s wearing jogging but she still look slim!
Am I the only one that thinks she looks like a normal healthy girl now? In 2008 she looks sick! She’s my fav on the show! So pretty!
She looks kind of frumpy here but it’s not because of her weight. She looks beautiful as always.
She definitely put on some much needed weight. I do think she looks prettier in the 2nd picture of her though. Probably more because she’s wearing a better outfit than her weight… She just looks frumpy in all that knit.
For those saying she looked better skinny, can you imagine the agony she was proably going through to maintain that thinness? It’s obvious not natural for her, and she probably got to that weight to secure a spot on “90210″…sad but true. At least she looks so much healthier now.
Oh come on. It definitely looks like the same person. She hasn’t gained THAT much weight in reality. I think she looks great here, she’s beautiful. She shouldn’t gain or lose in my opinion
Wow she def gained some weight!! I don’t think she looked best as her thinnest, but here she looks mushy and untoned. All of the extra weight does not flatter her.
the show is actually forcing them to put on weight because of the bad publicity and amount of complaints they rec’d.
that dress is cute
Liked her better skinny too.
Looks much prettier and more natural with a bit of weight! Her face will thank her later!
she has definitely gained a good amount of weight, but she looked ED-skinny before, so I don’t want to criticize her. she is [hopefully!] just healthier now! good for her.
She looks sickly in the 2008 (especially in the legs) and in the current she is wearing an unflattering outfit so its hard to say how much weight she has actually gained. Either way she is a pretty girl – better to be healthy than dying to be thin
I really like her, but those are SUCH unflattering pictures of her. I hope seeing these doesn’t trigger her or anything.
Maybe a little gain, but mostly in her face. I think she’s just wearing more layers. And we can’t see her legs at all, so it’s hard to tell. She looks slightly less toned, too.
The pic’s are extremely unflattering. She is not at all this heavy. But that said, when you starve for any length of time you will be dealing with a very slow metabolism for years sometimes to follow. This is the bodies natural response to dear of famine.
Even eating few calories can put weight on someone who was underweight. Something to consider for anyone who thinks 500 calories a day is okay.
She looks really much better at this weight. I’m sure she is still at best not much over 100 pounds.
Yeah she looked so much prettier thinner. I hope she doesn’t gain anymore. This weight gain is not flattering on her.
oh no…. the outfit, the face… very unflattering pics. I hope its just the pics, and that she really hasn’t gained.
she looks really good and happy now:)
i think its just the cloth that make her looks like she gain a lot..
she did gain a little but not that much!
she is GORGEOUS!!!
she totally needed too, shes still thin!!!
Goes to show you can’t be scary-skinny forever. Unless you’re mentally sick.
i reckon she’s put on a good 15 pounds.
omg she has gained a lot…very noticeable in face and arms…she was perfect when she gained some weight after looking scary-skinny, but now is a bit too much. but i hope she does NOT go back to looking like that emaciated before picture
My ow my, some people on this site are so disturbed. “I liked her better skinny”? You might as well say “I liked her better unhealthhy” (because that is how she looked before, legs don’t look like that when you have a healthy amount of fat). I hope you people don’t look at yourselves in the mirror like that… Furthermore, I think we keep forgetting that the human body is supposed to have some fat on it (not alot, I’m not claiming that).
ugh, I’m probably just spilling my thoughts to deaf ladies ears, but I couldn’t help myself.
Jessica looks great imo. Beautiful woman.
the outfit is awful but she looks so much better this way!
Wow, looking 100% better. Pretty woman! You folks that think that women who are sooo underweight look nice need to get that checked. Seriously. How can looking so frail and deficient look nice to you?
If this is the work of the set stylist, he or she should get the boot. Patricia Field came up with some extreme stuff for SJP’s character, but this takes the cake. Why on earth would you want to make cute girls look ugly?
Lol her outfit looks christmasy to me, like something a lot of kids wear when they play elves. (more old-fashioned ones..) I think she looks better. Some outfits did look better on her when she was at her skinniest, IMO, but that’s not worth ruining your health (which i don’t know she did, but i suspect it..), and she did look very boney if you saw more of her body, which i didn’t think looked nice at all.
She’s cute, no matter her weight
She’s beautiful!
So looks like a completely different person back in 2008.
This shows perfectly how much she was fighting her natural weight.
Her face looks fluffy.
Yes, she has gained. And she looks a trillion time better now!
She looks SOOOOO much better. If she wants to lose weight, she just needs to tone up so she doesn’t appear as flabby. We’re so used to seeing her emaciated that she appears to be overweight in her face when really she probably just has more of a fuller face. I’m glad she’s looking better.
wow,she gained weight!!!
personally I think she looked better when she was skinnier, in 2008. But she did not look happy when she was so skinny…
Wow ! She’s pretty Now !!!
I don’t think she gained that much weight. When u are as thin as she was even 5lbs makes a huge difference! i’d say she gained 10lbs @ most. She definately needed SOME of those lbs. I’ll save my judgment of her new look until I see her in some less offensive photos.
She is really pretty and I think it is the outfit that makes her look unflattering.
I’m not convinced she has put on weight, she merely looks as though she is wearing unflattering trousers and pulling an odd face. Those trousers cover up her legs,which were on show in the photo shown from september, with those covered up she looks like she has put on weight. But probably hasn’t.
post request! deborah ann woll (jessica from true blood)
I think the pictures/outfit are very unflattering here.
She has gained weight but not so much.
Her face reminds me of Eva Longoria, they kind of have the double chin thing going on but they are skinny. Just gotta work the poses!
Wow what a great improvement!She looks so great now,weight-wise.Back in 2008 she looked sickly thin expecially in her chest and leg area…
Now she looks like she’s at a healthy weight,she doesn’t starve herself anymore and that’s a good thing!!:D
On the other hand,i think that she shouldn’t wear clothes that baggy!She has a wonderfull figure so why hide it??
the skinny Jessica was so pretty…now she doesn’t look so good. her face isn’t that pretty now:(
she looks much healthier weight-wise
She was soo much prettier in her skinny days,and of course she is wearing baggy chlotes now,she gained,she is trying to hide it…I cant wait her to slim down again
much needed… she looked skeletal earlier
I knew it was going to be interesting to see how skinny she and Shenae were after at least a season of that show. Their initial skinniness was probably to drive up interest in the show.
I wonder if the show will last three seasons?
Looks like a dumpster diver!
she is gorgeous now!
I don’t like her legs in the second picture.
She’s not looking great in the current pictures but way better than she did in 2008. She looks more natural now, whereas before she looked like a sick child.
I hope she doesn’t feel pressured to lose weight again. If she wants improvement she should a) let her hair grow, b) wear something more flattering (I’m usually not that shallow but WHAT KIND OF OUTFIT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE??) c) gain back muscle (probably lost loads of muscle weight when starving herself).
She doesn’t look atheletic
wow haha, what a waste.
she looked better when she was thinner.
Im tired of when people say people are at “normal weight” because normal weight doesnt equal mushy and untoned.
I don’t want to know what she was doing to herself in the earlier photo.
@ marty: have you ever looked around? YES IT DOES. (not that she is even near mushy and untoned, you couldn’t possibly deduct that from these few pictures).
Women are not supposed to be that thin. Women who are that thin (mostly) don’t get their periods, which means they can’t have children, which menas their bodies are not in optimal condition.
it. is. not. that. difficult.
Actually I don’t think she’s gained all that much- those sleeves make her arms look bigger but in one of the pictures you can see how little her arms are, and her legs, too (the wind is blowing them tight in another photo. You can tell in her face that she’s filled out, but not to the extent that this pictures depicts. Still gorgeous.
She looks alot better now…..of course the clothes she is wearing makes her look 10 lbs bigger but thank god she got rid of that ugly tan look and siney limbs…..
i like the way she is now:)
She was striking before, now not as much.
She looks beautiful both ways, prefer her skinny….
love her
She looked a lot prettier thinner. Even her face was a lot prettier. All she needed to do is keep a healthy diet while keeping in shape and she would had a more athletic look.
Her face looked so much better when she was thinner.
She looked prettier in 2008. She is too soft now, skinny fat. She would look better if she did some toning.
“Sweatpants are the only things that fit me right now…”
LOL, sorry, had to say it. XD
That said, this is a perfect example of starvation diet = BAD.
There’s no way keeping the pounds off like that if your body is naturally heavier and by heavier I don’t mean fat or chubby, just slim, not skinny.
I hope she doesn’t feel like she has to drop the weight off again like that because that will lead to yoyo effect.
Finally … she looked terrible with the bubble head look.
She’s the only normal sized girl in the show! I love her when she’s a little bigger because then i have someone normal to compare myself to
Wow! Not so good. I hope that she is healthy. She does need to at least tone up. SHe looks very old here. Could pass for 40, her face is very bloated and haggard:(
I dont think she has gained that much weight. She’s wearing baggy sweatpants and a frumpy shirt. I bet her legs with still look slim if she took the sweats off. She’s still not big, she was bigger than this in the movie ” This Christmas”
@Pan –
Actually if we didnt guzzle down liquid coffes, walked instead of driving to the mailbox, took the stairs instead of the escalator…ate vegetables and fruits and grains… swept the floors instead of using some dumb little robot thing to clean our floor, i bet most of us wouldnt have muffin tops and flabby arms.
I am so glad she gained weight, although I am sure she is still skinny under all that baggy clothing. She was TOO skinny before – looked completely unnatural and disproportionate. I hated when she was in 90210 super skinny. Glad she did the sensible and healthy thing and gain a few.
Her hair looks better longer. Her current outfit is terrible. She would look much better in a nicer outfit. She’s gained some weight, but not a huge amount, it really is the clothes, she just doesn’t look ill anymore which is a good thing.
these are funky candids…..not so good, but she definitely looks way better these days!!! She looked ill before….
I’d like to see her at a happy medium! Not emaciated but not heavy! If she toned up a bit, got better clothes, she’d look great! Very beautiful girl.
Marty, it is actually a human behavioural thing to not move too much and eat whenever possible.
Though I certainly agree with you that walking to the mail-box and taking the stairs is smart (we do have a brain next to our first instincts), but doing all those things really doesn’t make your body super-toned. As a lady, you either get that through genes, or by exercising 2 hours daily. And that last thing really isn’t that good for you either.
And come on, there is no way you can get rid of dust as good manually as with that great little robot thingy
(and vacuum cleaning is pretty ok exercise as well)
wow she looks so healthy now, good for her!! i bet she’d look HOT all dressed up
Yay she looks so much healthier. I used to cringe at her emaciated frame on the first season of 90210 but now she looks normal, slim and healthy! And I think she looks beautiful at whatever size.
Yeah!…a real woman’s body. Compared to the other pic…she looks 1000000% times better.
For those of you saying she looks better ’skinny’ and looks ‘fat’ now. Go away, grow up…..then come back on here and type when you know what the hell youre talking about.
She looks so much better now! Before it was painful to look at pics of her. She looks really cute and happy.
her headband is awful.
@ Marty – Wow, do you people really drive their cars to their mailboxes?? That’s crazy and ridiculously lazy.. it’s easy to see then why there’s so many overweight/obese people.
Staying on topic – She looks a lot healthier than before but her face is all puffy looking.
*that you is not meant to be there haha typo sorry.
wow! yes she’s gained some and i like her filled out a bit more, but i guessed some people would say they liked her more skinnier. its probably because they were just used to her looking like that, and facially it looks like the weight gain has shown more there… now she just looks slim and healthy. i really love that she’s finally gained a few, its a shame these pics are unflattering though.
can you guys imagine how she would feel if she read a bunch of people saying she looked better thinner!?
we should be congratulating her for not letting being thin run her life!
YOU GO GIRL, YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!
Lmao! Omg I thought I would never say this but this is a person that needs to stay thin to maintain that attractiveness. She has lost all appeal with the weight gain, as little as it is. Now she just kinda makes me chuckle-hehe-or maybe it’s just her outfit and a result of being caught off guard! Hmm:)
nooooooooo!!!! whyyyyyy???? how did this happen? I almost want to cry.. she looked so pretty/young/toned/energetic in 2008! now she looks like a depressed old lady! so sad..
she sort of looks like kate gosselin in the two pics of her making that awkward face, no?
You know you have an eating disorder when…
She looks SO MUCH BETTER. Her legs scare me in the 2008 picture.
She is beautiful.
She looks good now but she is making the mistake that so many young girls do – not weight training! (look at her arms). I’m telling you,if you don’t start that at a young age, no matter what your weight, you will get a little flabby and cellulite on the backend by the time you hit 30!
not attractive.
Yay! Someone finally jumped off the bobblehead bandwagon. Way to be a leader and not a follower Jess. I hope the weight gain remains for the rest of your career!
She’s still gorgeous but she doesn’t look sick anymore. She’s wearing the baggy frumpy clothes that show she’s probably not really secure with her body right now though….I think the clothes make her look bigger than she really is.
as someone who has dealt with “issues” in the past…
EFF EVERYONE WHO THINKS SHE LOOKED BETTER SKINNY.
it is people like you who drive young girls to be unhappy and starve themselves and be depressed and everything. I may not be a size 0 anymore, but I am a million times happier and every just as pretty before. Just because I can enjoy food and work out and be healthy does not mean that I am ugly. once again, eff you and your unrealistic thoughts.
btw… they are unrealistic… this young girl proves it. Obviously she was horrendously starving herself before. and if you think otherwise. GET HELP.
SO GLAD YOU DID THIS POST. I love before and afters when it shows how someone got healthy in hollywood, sets such a good example. Really makes it easier on me to gain weight and get healthy. I love her and the show!!!
(The second outfit is definately unflattering though)
@ AMANDA and TIFFTIFF: i 100% agree with you!!! glad to see im not the only one thinking that.
If shes 5″9 anyone want to guess her stats? I read that back in 2008 when she was super thin she was 115lbs. Im guessing 130lbs now but its hard to tell with that outfit
i preferred her skinny.
she’s not looking so great anymore.
her legs were HOT before.
She looks great now. I think it is awesome that she got healthy.
Looking like Gollum is not pretty.
I don’t think this really proves that she has gained weight. Those are pretty baggy and unflattering clothes. I’m not convinced, but maybe…
This is what happens when you starve yourself and then start eating again. She doesn’t look bad but the pictures are not that great.
It feels like a lot of weight in a short time. I hope that doesn’t hurt her psychologically because she was way way too thin before. I think the bloat around her face and other areas will go away once she has been consistently eating for awhile.
she looked better before…now she just looks pudgy and unhappy.
I agree with comments that her starvation diet led her metabolism to slow down. Remember Portia de Rossi during Ali McBeal? She got scary skinny and then gained a substantial amount of weight. That show had a really bad effect on the female actresses, and it sounds like 90210 might have had an unhealthy culture. I hope Hollywood embraces actresses of all shapes and sizes. It seems like some of the “A” list actresses look a little less thin – Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson. It would be a good trend.
looks awkward in the before and after shots. very plain girl. surprised she is on TV.
Wow! She looks so pretty now that she’s gained the much needed weight! Keep that up, girl!
She would look best somewhere in between these two pictures. The skinny one obviously looks way to thin for her body – but the bigger one looks like she’s carrying around a little more than her body naturally should.
she looks MUCH better thin
i like her hair better long. i don’t know why everyone needs to get a short bob. selena gomez too stick to the long hair. (i like short hair too) but some stars think they are being edgy chopping off their hair and it just ages them.
Her clothes are so baggy you can barely tell what her figure actually looks like so I would consider looking at a few more recent photos of her before you go and call her “fat”. It’s like you’ve never seen a truly fat person before, you all use the word so freely. She certainly has gained weight from her stick-thin days (and thank goodness for that) but even with such horribly shaped clothes, I wouldn’t call her fat.
She looks pretty in the last picture, waaaaaaaaaaay better than when she was crazy-skinny in 2008. Love her! She’s got beautiful eyes.
ohhh the backlashes of anorexia.
That’s annoying.. People are saying they prefer her skinny. Uhhh, she still is! She is nowhere near fat. She was just bony before.. and that’s not my cup of tea! She looks great!!
