    eeek…scary skinny alert.

  2. ERK | 31/03/11

    sick…the blonde almost looks fake!

    you should do a post of Rachel Zoe after her baby. I guess she had him last week…

  3. hollywoodland | 31/03/11

    very pretty girls but… Candice lost a lot of weight!! really sad. she’s really pretty with amazing body but now looks too thin.

  4. Mimi | 31/03/11

    OMG! The blond one is so skinny it doesn’t look real.

  5. neatlybroken199 | 31/03/11

    what up with candice? she’s too thin now. alessandra’s always been too thin to me, adriana looks great. they’re all pretty.

  6. Alexis | 31/03/11

    Adriana Lima is my pic for best overall. Other 2 are too skinny for VS models.

  7. lmd | 31/03/11

    Yeah, Candice Swanepoel needs to eat a couple cheeseburgers.

  8. Jade | 31/03/11

    Candice looks bad. I like her proportions and think she can have a great curvy body, but she ruins it by being so thin. Adriana is one of the most gorgeous celebs I can think of. She makes Alessandra look boring, and I normally like her face a lot (not bod).

  9. minx | 31/03/11

    i will never understand why anyone would want to look like this- which leads me to believe she is ill and the VS people are sick. they can only be using her for publicity. everyone knows the less inches on the model the more column inches in the papers.

  10. Becky | 31/03/11

    I thought Victorias secrets models were meant to be slim/curvy (and I’m not just talking in the boob area!!)
    We’ve got to remember they’re role models for lots of young girls and think about promoting a healthier body image, I definitely dont think candice is doing that at all!

  11. sarahjane | 31/03/11

    Candice is SKINNY! The angle in the first pic is terrifying! I want all of their shoes btw…

    You can tell how thin Candice is in her arms, just compare them to Adriana and Alessandra.

  12. Sophia | 31/03/11

    Hmm, Candice is looking soo thin, can’t be healthy.. Alessandra too. If it’s true that the camera adds some weight, it must be frightening to see them in real life.

    Is it me or do their shoes look too small?

  13. christinaberry | 31/03/11

    Do guys really buy into the huge boob and super skinny farce?

  14. kasey | 31/03/11

    Adriana lima….so gorgeous!

  15. Work | 31/03/11

    It’s a sad, sad little party when Adriana Lima feels fat…you know she does. She looks absolutely stunning, and the only here who doesn’t look like they’re going to pass out.

  16. OliviaRose | 31/03/11

    Whoa, Candice’s body is almost freakish looking, she is so thin. Too bad because she is really beautiful.

  17. Stephers | 31/03/11

    My jaw dropped when I saw Candice’s legs in the first picture. Adriana looks best, followed by Alessandra, then Candice.
    I wonder if it’s actually VS telling these girls to slim down or if Candice is just doing this on her own.

  18. Stacy | 31/03/11

    Becky you are right no with your comment. Awful that they let that girl in a bikini to represent VS!!!! totally sick!

  19. Stacy | 31/03/11

    Becky, I meant you are right on with your comment…

  20. emerya | 31/03/11

    My very first thought was PHOTOSHOPPED!! if not…then wow, just wow. Candice looks so so scary skinny, I cant even believe this is real

  21. liz | 31/03/11

    Alessandra and candice are my absolute favorites….ale’s face and candice’s body!Wow!

  22. Kimberly | 31/03/11

    Wow. I used to envy Candice Swanopoel’s body. It seemed perfect. Now she looks emaciated.

    I don’t know why VS didn’t tell her to beef up a little bit more.

    She DOES look a lot better with clothes on though…

  23. Kimberly | 31/03/11

    I meant she looks better with clothes on than in just a bikini.

  24. Rooni3033 | 31/03/11

    Wow, I couldn’t believe how thin these girls are when I first looked at these pics, my stomach dropped, to me it’s way toooooooo skinny. I love victorias secret stuff, but when these girls are portrayed like this and have bodies this skinny, it makes me gag and not want to buy clothes from them.

  25. Co | 31/03/11

    Was Candice photo shopped? Looks like a fake photo to me. Saw her on tv and she wasn’t this thin.

  26. Rob | 31/03/11

    Alessandra in gorgeous! She’s slim and fit!

  27. glow | 31/03/11

    They both look ill. How are they supposed to be sexy?

    Adriana is beautiful-so much better with the dark hair.

  28. kt | 31/03/11

    wow, how does Candice have enough room for her organs in that tiny torso?????

  29. sami | 31/03/11

    candice looks terrible

  30. Henny | 31/03/11

    What the HELL.

    I agree with everyone’s post above. I always loved the VS girls because they were naturally thin girls with healthy curves. Ever since Candice, Alessandra, and Miranda lost all this weight all the girls feel pressure to compete with them i’m sure. The CEO of VS or whatever should ENFORCE these women to gain weight. Even Douzten Krous who had a BANGING curvy body has lost a ton!! It makes me sick!!

  31. Susy | 31/03/11

    Totally photoshopped, it’s obvious.

  32. sweetnsour | 31/03/11

    WTH??? Is it just a weird angle of the camera in that first pic? It’s absolutely frightening.

    And so sad that Adriana (who is by far my fav)actually looks large here. And of course she isn’t…just the others are malnourished.

    I want to boycott VS. :(

  33. evamattiolo | 31/03/11

    I think Candace’s body looks perfect!

  34. morticia | 31/03/11

    Adriana is probably covered up because she feels (sadly) fat standing next to those two…can you say ISSUES??!!!

  35. KG | 31/03/11

    The only reason her legs look so skinny in the 1st photo is b/c of the position she is in! If you look at the other photos(like the last shot) her legs look completely normal! I think she looks great!

  36. Liana | 31/03/11

    I just…I can’t even…how can she even STAND on those little legs of hers? If that’s not Photoshopped then I am really, really scared for her.

  37. anne | 31/03/11

    Scary indeed!!
    Much better looking in the catalog pictures. Adriana looks fat next to her and she is NOT at all fat.
    Its crazy and unattractive, why would VS let her come out like that she does not represent the VS models!

  38. meg | 31/03/11

    I usually like the extremely thin look, but Candace looks depressing and too much like a Holocaust survivor.

  39. Ashley | 31/03/11

    I hope I teach my kids to have better ‘role models’ than models. All gorgeous women, all too thin.

  40. Alex | 31/03/11

    I miss the days when the VS girls were different because they were healthy, curvy and toned. Now they just look like your standard fashion models – drawn, sickly and sad looking. Disappointing, because I thought VS was on to something and we would see others follow suit. Shame..

  41. Vicky | 31/03/11

    Ok, none of them is pretty on these pictures. Candice used to have the most beautiful body of all, and now… What’s wrong with the industry, that pushes models to get so skinny?

  42. maddison | 31/03/11

    Each day is very long and miserable. You’re fighting the hunger pangs and are too exhausted and cold to enjoy anything. Forget about sleeping. Being Candace must suck.

  43. Sheridan | 31/03/11

    Alessandra looks the best! She’s thin but she looks really fit and healthy and has always maintained the same weight.
    Candice has gotten too skinny :( She used to be my favorite because she had curves and made it look good. Now she just looks hungry.

  44. wish | 31/03/11

    love the look!

  45. PaintedBlue | 31/03/11

    They look hungry.

  46. Stephanie | 31/03/11

    All of them are too skinny. Adriana is the only one who looks mostly healthy. This is sad.

  47. glj | 31/03/11

    oh my days! she is tiny! consider that the camera normally adds weight! holy moly i just can’t get over this, there’s no way it’s natural and everyone must know that, including VS themselves.
    also, her model card says she is a US 8 – UK 12 still !?!?!?!?! wtf! this is ridiculous, absolutely horrible, even for someone with such distorted ideas about beauty as me. even I wouldn’t want to be THIS thin…

  48. Kgirl | 31/03/11

    candice lost it !
    adriana works it!
    alessandra still has it..

  49. keriberi | 31/03/11

    wow! blondie would like AMAZING if she gained 15lbs. The two really skinny ones make me want to not buy Victoria Secret merchandise. Adriana looks fabulous!

  50. MegaB | 31/03/11

    Candice is much too skinny but she also just came off of this seaons runway where before she was just doing editorial and swim suit work. Runway for some reason really wants stick slim. It doesn’t look right on her to be that small and then return to the beach look. Adriana looks like a goddess here, but she doesn’t smile much.

  51. GirlyGirl | 31/03/11

    I don’t think those are all the way real, I just don’t. Candice didn’t look THAT thin just a little bit ago and I honestly don’t think VS would let her model that thin. Also, I think something looks odd with Alessandras left arm, around the elbow area. I don’t know. If they are real, that blonde is very sick. But, I don’t think they are. I think they are very thin, but I feel like these may have been doctored a bit. Just my opinion, though!

  52. retrobanana | 31/03/11

    i have no words……

  53. mellie | 31/03/11

    I think Adriana would be a lot prettier if she would stop trying to make the “bitchy” face in every picture.

  54. MsCotton | 31/03/11

    That first picture of Candice is not nice. I have always disliked how narrow her rib cage is, now it looks worse.

  55. rachel | 31/03/11

    What the hell is wrong with Candace??? She looks sick and anorexic! She had such a great body at one point but now it hurts to even look at her. This is not attractive.

  56. righthandblue | 31/03/11

    Adriana looks STUNNING!!her body looks great for a new mother and her face is so much nicer than the other two!
    I think Candice has a naturally smaller body frame than the other two and the weight loss combined with this is a really frightening look!except her butt, that looks good but only because she’s pushing it out!!the first pic looks like it has been photoshopped because of the angle!!so creepy..

  57. izzy | 31/03/11

    adrianna’s waist has really increased in size since she had her baby – i guess she’s human like the rest of us after all

    she looks the best of them in these pics though, the other girls look terrifying

  58. supermodelperpect | 31/03/11

    She looks scary in the first pic. The rest of her look perfect though. Its just the way she is standing in the first pic.

  59. toady | 31/03/11

    I agree with the photo shop opinion. The second photo of Candice with the guy looks off. Also her legs are always skinny in these shots but more so in the first shot. It doesn’t add up.

  60. Mickey von Dutch | 1/04/11

    I’ll spend the rest of my day trying to solve the Swanepoel enigma. I know that Rian does not use photoshopped images, so that can’t be it, but can someone please tell me what’s going on here? How come Swanepoel can look perfectly fine (albeit a bit on the skinny side) in a skin tight dress and like a ghost of her former self in a bikini? If you can make Lima and Ambrosio look full figured by comparison, you have to be virtually nonexistent. Is she part of some designer’s master plan to rid the world of women?

  61. somechic | 1/04/11

    Skeletor alerts

  62. syrah | 1/04/11

    OMG!!! NO!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    That first pix of Candance is mortifying, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
    She is my top pick for my Burritos For Life award. So very sad. . .

  63. Issa | 1/04/11

    alessandra and candice look like skeletons it’s gross. And I’m actually a fan of skinny, but this… eww

  64. Lalala | 1/04/11

    wow never knew candice was that skinny!

  65. Kianna | 1/04/11

    Guess I will have to say I like Alessandra the best. Candice has definitely lost waaay toooo much weight! She used to be thin/curvy…now she just looks emaciated! GEES! I thought I liked Candice better in the dresses until I saw all of these girls in bikinis. They all are quite thin but Candice has hit the “scary skinny” category (IHMO)!

  66. Bree Ann | 1/04/11

    So I love Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio, but the Candice chick is soooo not cute – I guess she’s compensating by being way too thin?

    To be honest, considering it’s Victoria’s Secret, these girls are all looking a little on the side of too skinny..

    Too much rib cage and not enough bra filling, imo.

  67. Ray_to_the_izzle | 1/04/11

    i kind of doubt adriana feels all that bad. she’s still getting paid very well. she’s got a life outside of this modeling gig. she probably treats it as just another day at the office. and im sure her bikini outfit was chosen for her.

  68. D | 1/04/11

    There was a time when the VS models were considered healthy and curvy, but those days are long gone. That was the era when Tyra Banks was still modeling for them.. Nowadays they’re all sticks. I don’t know why people still perceive them as good role models when in fact the only thing differentiating them from the catwalk models is the tan and the boobs.

    Just look at what they did to Karolina Kurkova who’s now unrecognizable. We all keep gushing in wonder how these girls get back to their pre-baby bodies so fast, but I can assure you it’s not through healthy diet an exercise. Look at Alessandra and Miranda – who would have thought they’ve ever given birth? They both looked like their old selves 2 weeks after delivering a baby.

  69. ceh1916 | 1/04/11

    @maddison – You are exactly right. It must be hell being her if she’s a victim of an eating disorder. Unfortunately for Candice, if she lost weight to get through a season of editorials and runway, it’s her funeral because she’s now lost what was once an interesting, curvy body. Who needs another blonde skeleton? We’re all sick of Alessandra, but Adriana is a true beauty.

  70. Matilda | 1/04/11

    Adriana Lima looks like a Russian whore. Sorry, she’s just not my type. I don’t like this whole open-mouth-equals-sexy look. Candice looks awful. And actually, the more I look at these pictures the more I think how tacky and cheap they all look in these outfits.

  71. Mette | 1/04/11

    s.p.e.e.c.h.l.e.s.s………it´s so sad that these girls are role models for hundred of thousands of girls…so sad…!!

  72. Susie | 1/04/11

    I’ve never been a fan of Candice. She’s always had a nice body but that’s been about it IMHO. Now she just looks…not good…
    Adriana is, as always, stunning but the black hair makes her features look a bit harsh. Brown suits her better;)

  73. Penny | 1/04/11

    Candice does look much thinner. However I think she looks amazing. What are her stats… around 5′8, 100 pounds?

  74. HB | 1/04/11

    Can you imagine VS about 10 or so years ago, with Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks posing with their slamming bodies in bikinis next to these twigs?

  75. Chloe | 1/04/11

    candice used to be so much more gorgeous :(

    alessandra looks like her hot self!

  76. thehills | 1/04/11

    ale and adriana look amazing and younger than candice….

  77. Uh hu | 1/04/11

    That first picture is frightful, but in the rest she just looks tiny! I see no ribs or popping out shoulders. She’s got a lot of booty for that tiny waist!

  78. AnonAnonAnon | 1/04/11

    Those pictures are horrendous. Alessandra is still my favorite model, but could stand to gain some muscle tone in her arms – they just look stick-like (but her legs are ahhh-mazing, and her face and hair are flawless!). Really: 5 extra pounds would be her friend. Candace is TERRIFYING, and I don’t think it’s just the angles. She just looks sick – I feel like without a ton of bronzer and a fake tan, she must be positively transluscent. Adriana looks great… but I don’t like her bathing suit – her whole look is kind of depressing for a pool event. Overall – kind of an icky collection of pictures, which is impressive given the subject matter!

  79. I want to be a Victoria's Secret Modal! | 1/04/11

    I love shopping at Victoria’s Secret for bras & panties and all that fun stuff.All of the VS modals are stunning! I always wished i could be a VS modal when i was little but i never grew tall enough to modal.Unfortunately for me im only 5′4′:( Oh well lol But you know how they say every woman has a girl crush? Well my girl crushes (yes plural lol) are the Victoria’s Secret modals!! lol In my opinion VS modals are some of the most beautiful women in the world. And personally for myself i find these women very inspiring.My other Celeb Crush who i find very inspirational is Cheryl Cole! I admire her a lot.Im inspired by their hair & makeup,their fashion sense,staying fit and healthy,not letting life pass you by and to get out there and live your life to the full every day,following your dreams and passions and never giving up etc etc.Im sure many will disagree and say their just pretty faces an the thought of them being inspiring what a joke.But i disagree.Anyway i also wanted to comment on ” Candice” the tiny blonde in the middle…yes shes very tiny and also looks to have lost some more weight.But in no way does she look sickly,emaciated or in any way starving or in a danger area weight wise.I think her weight is natural for her.You can easily see she has a naturally small frame and even being as thin as she is you don’t see bones protruding.I think she is among the extremely lucky few who has been blessed genetically with amazing genes that im extremely envious of lol So she has a small frame and naturally skinny body but that doesn’t have to mean a person is anorexic or starving with eating disorders.If she was starving she would be just skin and bones.Do you not see her booty and breasts? They are tiny but plump.Actually i think Candice has a very round booty for such a tiny girl.Even look at her thighs…are they extremely tiny? Absolutely.But they are not just skin and bones either.Lets just face the annoying facts ladies!She is just so damn lucky and this is actually a natural and healthy weight and size for her.Shes been genetically blessed that’s all it is.And ive stared at these untouched paparazzi shots and she doesn’t have a smidgen of cellulite on her body yet another annoying fact! lol.By the way this annoys the hell out of me too.F-ing lucky cow!!! lol

  80. Redd | 1/04/11

    Adriana is gorgeous… i dont know why she is the one to be so covered up, shes a much better role model than the other two.

  81. babygirl | 1/04/11

    adriana has the healthiest body of ‘em all…the rest need to eat food it won’t hurt them..

  82. Kathy | 1/04/11

    Wow, freakshow bobblehead party!
    If that is meant to be “stereotype attractive”, I am freaked out by the “stereotype attractive”.
    Not attractive at all imo.

  83. Lindah | 1/04/11

    they look like a bunch of crickets!

  84. skinny rocks | 1/04/11

    Anyone channelling their inner Morticia Adams?????

  85. candice, you were gorgeous before. | 1/04/11

    :( I remember when I saw Candice for the first time a couple of years ago and I thought WOW this girl is amazing…. if I was seeing her for the first time here I wouldn’t even bother to search for her name. Maybe only to find out if she was always this skinny.
    But she isn’t naturally this thin :( It’s sad that she felt the need to slim down her already amazing (and much more attractive) figure.. just hope she gains the weight back.. and when she does she will look amazing.
    Even her gorgeous angelic face looks harsh!

  86. teebee | 1/04/11

    WOW – Candace looked SO much better when she had a few more pounds on her! Look at these pics from December 2009 – http://theskinnywebsite.com/site/2009/12/candice-swanepoel-bikini-photo-shoot/#more-7582

  87. heather | 1/04/11

    YIKES THESE ARE NOT LOVELY BONES ITS A BAG OF BONES !!! MY GOD THESE WOMEN LOOK HUNGRY AND STARVED. CANDICE IS BEYOND SCARY SKINNY HERE SHE DEATHLY LOOKING. OF COURSE THE PRESSURES OF BEING IN AN INDUSTRY WHERE PERFECTION IS DEMANDED WILL CAUSE STRESS HOWEVER PERFECTION IS CLEARLY NOT FRAIL LOOKING. SHE’S COMPLETELY SHUNNING HER FANS AND IF SHE STILL HAS ANY THEY ARE PROBABLY SUFFERING FROM AN ED. FYI THESE PICS WERE NOT PHOTO SHOPPED BLOGS EVERYWHERE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW SCARY AND UNNATURAL CANDICE BODY HAS BECOME.

  88. elle | 1/04/11

    That’s not very nice looking, Adriana is really pretty though.

  89. A2Ba | 1/04/11

    I think Candice looks better than ever. Really nice subtile female shape!

    It is something different than fat girls who think they have curves. Candice also has curves, how they are supposed to be in a female to attract men. Fat girls have ugly curves, these are very sexy curves.

  90. kat | 1/04/11

    I don’t think this was photoshopped. Look at Candice’s face. It looks completely different — much older (based on these photos, I though she was nearing 30). I had to Google her to see what she used to look like. Wow, so so so gorgeous before. Here, not so much. I’d almost say she’s verging on butterface.

  91. Tucker | 1/04/11

    The first picture is making me sad. Huge gap between Candice’s legs! She is startlingly skinny. Can you imagine how she looks in real life? :( Not a fan of Adriana’s hair and make-up. She looks like a gothic. Beautiful body though.

  92. PBL | 1/04/11

    candice looks great. its only the first pic that is too scary. the rest are 100% perfection. that is so why i workout hard and eat the right foods. it pays off :)

  93. jennifer | 1/04/11

    Adriana looks amazing! Beautiful figure. The other two are in desperate need of some food. The blonde looks scary skinny, and Alessandra has always been skinny, but she could use 5-10 lbs to get a more womanly look. Curves don’t hurt, especially when it’s trying to sell lingerie & swimsuits. VS should be weary of the fashion runway look, as they’ve had such curvy beauties like Tyra and Heidi.

  94. BAK | 1/04/11

    Ok I really have no idea who these girls are, I don’t follow models. And this is why. These girls no doubt have eating disorders, its painfully obvious. Its so obvious, that I don’t see how people around them can just look the other way, and pretend its normal and ok. Its mostly the blond one that I’m referring to. So awful..

  95. Rian | 1/04/11

    @Mickey von Dutch and others who asked, I think she may have been deliberately posing to look as thin as possible. A couple of the poses she was doing seemed a bit unnatural, which could contribute to how thin she appeared in the photos. I know the agency where these came from and they are huge, very reputable and I know they wouldn’t dare alter pics for fear of a lawsuit. There is also the possibility that the photographers themselves saw how skinny the gals were in real life and decided to play it up using photographic techniques that would bring it out more? :)

  96. Lisa S. | 1/04/11

    Adriana looks healthy, sexy, and fit. She would probably look a little less “harsh” if she lightened her hair a bit, but she looks great otherwise! The other two, sweet Jesus, if they were my friends I would tell them they need some serious help.

  97. Mickey von Dutch | 1/04/11

    @Rian

    Thank you for lifting the veil on this mind-boggler. I must get me one of those photographers for our next family picture!

  98. MentallySkinny | 1/04/11

    @Rian Mmm.. YOU chose the most unflattering images, the ones with the weirdest angles, not Candice, nor the photographers. We get it, it’s what people on your site likes. But to all those calling Candice anorexic, search for the pics on other sites and you’ll find that in most, her thights look great, not rail thin.

  99. Michelle | 1/04/11

    I’m just glad that I’m at a point in my life where VS means nothing to me. Yes, I buy their bras, but I don’t care about the models. m-o-d-e-l-s, btw. It doesn’t matter how skinny the other two get- they’ll always look average compared to Adriana IMO.

  100. jjj | 1/04/11

    It is that pose which made Candice look bad. She’s very thin, but it is really that pose. You look at her in other pictures, she doesn’t looks great and not too thin.

  101. dumdum | 1/04/11

    Those blowing kisses poses that these girls and others like Lohan always do look ridiculously stupid. They need to stop. Candice has a serious problem. She looks like the chick in an anorexia commercial.

  102. Kay | 1/04/11

    SOO disappointed at Candices body! She has been my favorite VS girl for a while now, Alessandra used to be my favorite now she just looks sickly! She used to looks so much better. Too skinny now. I used to slave at the gym to look like her now I’d have to never eat again to get that body which I would never want! Such a shame…

  103. Emily | 1/04/11

    I know she’s really skinny but I have to say the shape of her body is incredible. I was looking at the pics teebee posted and Candice has an otherworldly body. I don’t believe that most people, even with exercise and diet, can have a shape like she has with such a tiny defined waist and her hip to waist ratio, genetics plays a huge part in it. I think she’s gorgeous, but she could gain weight. Maybe it’s more notable because she’s standing next to two women who are both slender yet she still stands out as being so much skinnier than them.

  104. Kylie | 1/04/11

    Skeleton Candice has a “booty” because she is arching her back as far as she can and pushing her butt out…

  105. Karen | 1/04/11

    Cardboard cutouts the lot of them – yuk and then some – so fake

  106. blue | 1/04/11

    Well, after seeing this I know I wont be spending any $$ at VS. Shame on them for letting Candice model when she has become so severely skinny. Adriana looks great but I wont support VS anymore.

  107. Helen | 1/04/11

    Andriana Lima is simply gorgeous!!!

  108. christina | 1/04/11

    Remember Kate Moss (no I don’t do cocaine-katie) and portia de rossi (no I don’t have an eating disorder) there are only a few ways to get this thin… drugs are one and the second are laxatives/throwing up. I’m shocked that VS advocates this… Candice needs help!

  109. Rian | 1/04/11

    @mentallyskinny, there are some regular shots of her head-on in that other post. ;-)

  110. ladeeda | 1/04/11

    candice is on probation with vs because of how skinny she got yikes! adriana lima is not looking as good as she used to. somehow her upper half looks a little strange. i wouldn’t say fat but maybe it’s her cheekbones – or lack there of. alessandra ambrosio is my favorite! always toned, tight, and healthy. you go baby mama!

  111. bianca | 1/04/11

    look at her hands in the 3rd picture.
    CLEARLY photoshopped.

  112. lily | 1/04/11

    i’m all for being fit and slim and having low body fat if it’s healthy but candice really does look unreal in a bad way. to look that thin in a photo, i can’t imagine what it must take to be that thin and i’ve been pretty thin. it’s just so messed up that these girls are being told to starve themselves by their agencies (and they are).

  113. Sara | 1/04/11

    well it looks like I am one of the only ones who think that Candice looks AMAZING . Thats exactly the body im dreaming of . <3 Just wow!

  114. ellen | 1/04/11

    If they were pets, their owners would be arrested for neglect! Obviously NO food!! Sick!

  115. elisita | 1/04/11

    eeek! what happened to candice! she looks old and a bit too skinny now. :( I liked her curvier body better.

  116. myparkplace | 2/04/11

    Sorry, but this looks more to me, like a poster suggesting I send money for food.

  117. jacque | 2/04/11

    she needs a cheese burger,double cheese. This is not a healthy look for anyone,no matter small frame or not. I am glad vs also said something publically about it but will they really take action if she does not get healthier? I am not sure about that. I feel like they had to say something because if they didn’t, it would seem as though they wanted her to look thin as well as the others.

  118. aimdawg | 2/04/11

    it does look ‘wierd’ish but she also looks freakin perfect!!

  119. aimdawg | 2/04/11

    …that BUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jeezo what i would do…

  120. Annie | 2/04/11

    Did anyone else notice that Candice’s skin has a purple undertone? Doesn’t look very healthy to me.

  121. Jade | 2/04/11

    I’ve seen other recent pics of Candice and have to say she really has become this thin. A couple of years ago she wasn’t, but she is now. Adriana looks the best by far. I hope VS is going to motivate others to get her body shape rather than Candice’s.

  122. lmd | 2/04/11

    Ok, first off, you people crying “PHOTOSHOP” need to get a copy of Photoshop and learn how to retouch pictures. These are not photoshopped. Second, the way Candice is turning her legs inward is going to make her thighs look smaller. Also if you try to pull your arms away from your body you will make them appear smaller too. If you’ve ever modeled in front of your mirror you should know that little differences in your posing can make you look a lot thinner.

  123. Natasha | 2/04/11

    It`s sad how Adriana Lima looks big next to this girls. Candice, you need to eat ! You look sick, scary skinny and not a good role model for young girls.

  124. Jess | 2/04/11

    Candice doesn’t look ill to me, she isn’t bony and sick looking, she just has an incredibly long and small frame. Just look at that torso….her ribs must be tiny. Yeah she is underweight, but she doesn’t look awful, in fact I think she looks gorgeous.

  125. rachel | 2/04/11

    She’s way too thin and she probably knows it but I guess in order to model those swim suits she has to be thin. I can’t imagine being that skinny and feeling good and healthy about myself. I actually feel sorry for her because starving yourself has to suck!

  126. Uhudler | 3/04/11

    photoshop

  127. Julia | 3/04/11

    Adriana looks gorgeous. The other two…sickly.

  128. joav | 3/04/11

    I have to say that as much as I HATE it when people deny eating disorders or drugs, the only reason I know that it’s POSSIBLE that Candice is not sick is that my sister (who is so clean and pure, doesn’t drink, smoke, do drugs, and never had an eating disorder–eats normally!) is very thin like this too. She has a naturally thin frame and is 5′8″. I could see people thinking that my sister has an eating disorder, but she doesn’t. I THINK IT’S POSSIBLE THAT SHE’S JUST THIN.

  129. Elma | 3/04/11

    they look like they just escaped from concentration camp (the bodies, not faces). I feel depressed that people find they sexy.

  130. kate | 3/04/11

    stop saying she needs a cheese burger. She needs rich and chunky meals. I eat 2 burgers for lunch at my college everyday and am about her size due to my metabolism. Apparently eating healthy makes you gain more weight as oppose to fast food alone. Sometimes people are small because they are naturally that way. Candice doesn’t have her hip bones and ribs poking out, she looks healthy to me. If she need to gain weight, the best thing to do is eat full meals with protein weight gainers, and do weight training to gain mass. I tried 5 years to put on some solid weight so people don’t make fun of me. Real anorexics have a particular look to their face and it’s not hard to spot one.

  131. AngelaB | 3/04/11

    Weird how they almost look O.K. from the side, but from the front they are scary!

  132. nakki | 3/04/11

    Gosh, I’ve never realised what lollipophead Ambrosio is.

  133. Mango | 4/04/11

    Candice looks very slim here, but healthy still. I absolutely <3 her shoes, where can I get a pair like these?? In one of the poses where she pushes her torso back and the top of her body forward it makes her appear every slimmer, which I don't think looks too good but I'd like to think she's in the healthy range, and clearly sports a petite frame. Small hip ratio and compact shoulders.

  134. kirby | 4/04/11

    Kate, joav: you/ your sister are obviously not average, and I think it’s safe to say that most women are not this thin naturally.

    god, you guys, this isn’t normal. the fact that she did not used to be this thin indicates that she is not “just thin” like this.

    however, maybe she is okay, and if I lose 15lbs I’ll be okay (and like super hot) too, right?

  135. erin | 4/04/11

    honestly, and most people will probably disagree wth what i’m about to say but i reckon its just the angle of candice’s body in the first pic that is making her look ’scary skinny’. the other pics she looks fine to me.

  136. crissy | 4/04/11

    I saw video of the this “shoot” and it is definitely not the angles its her. My husband was even disgusted…. these girls shouldn’t be aloud to parade around when they are clearly sick.
    They give new meaning to the sentence let me jump your bones!!!!!

  137. bethmarie | 4/04/11

    I thought VS models were supposed to be healthy and curvy…not like the super models for high fashion. The only good looking one here is Adriana Lima…the other two look sick! This isn’t a good role model for young girls!

  138. Krusticle | 4/04/11

    Erin, I have to agree with you. Yes, Candace is looking very thin…but she’s still looks fabulous.

  139. katia | 4/04/11

    Adriana is just so beautiful! She is probably so uber slim in person but compared to these other two gals she looks healthy and lovely. So the other 2 must be nearly emaciated looking in person.

    And I am so delighted to see that supermodels skin (like their legs) looks just as blotchy as mine when they aren’t smoothed out for magazines. :)

    But seriously these women need to gain weight. Why is stick thin called beautiful? Candice looks like she is killing herself to be this thin :(

  140. mystic | 4/04/11

    Adriana looks great, the others are too thin, and too much padding in the bra alessandra we know you are an a cup at the most, hope men looking at her will realise this.

  141. Melissa.Marissa | 4/04/11

    EW! Candice looks terrible! I used to think she was pretty but she looks disgusting! They all seem thinner though? I like skinny but Candice is really overdoing it!! Very unattractive.

  142. Melissa.Marissa | 4/04/11

    Adriana looks the best body wise. (Bathing suit is awful though)

  143. emily | 5/04/11

    Adriana Lima looks soooo good but the ather two look sick and ugly!

  144. Chrissie | 5/04/11

    The blonde seriously makes me gag a little bit. Who said that was hot? I don’t understand. Adriana is SUPER HOT. Loveee her :)

  145. Bella | 5/04/11

    They all look like disproportionate, poseable Barbie dolls.

  146. stlrapper | 5/04/11

    Candice looks great to me, she is clearly toned and looks healthy. Her body type allows her to be this small and it looks like she achieved it in a healthy way. I think the US has become so accustomed to obesity that some healthy thin women get unnecessarily bashed. We all know what an ED looks like, and this clearly isn’t it imho

  147. lisagg | 6/04/11

    Adriana looks stunning! I love her dark hair. She only looks bigger because of how anorexic the other two look. I’ve seen other recent pics of Adriana and she looks super thin.

    @Matilda- How can you say Adriana looks like a Russian whore? She does have to open her mouth to do a little something called, breathing- I don’t know if you have ever heard of it?! It’s not her fault those are the pics that get published. She looks drop-dead gorgeous. If she is was Russian whores look like, then they must make a lot of money!!!

  148. Melanie | 6/04/11

    Alessandra is beautiful, i think she is the perfect example of a sexy, slender and fit woman. great role model! love her!

  149. audrey | 6/04/11

    OMG! never thought would say this but they look unreal, disgusting and skeleton-like. Not self-confident at all…just plain ugly. yikes!

  150. Summers | 6/04/11

    I think they look great! not to skinny at all I just think America is to f’in fat!!! That we are so use to seeing fat people so when someone skinny comes along “OMG” soo skinny. get over it u jealous ppl!! there all perfect

  151. Raven | 6/04/11

    Alessandra is looking gorgeous! And it’s strange how Candice looks okay in the second part of the VS Swimwear Launch pictures, and scary in this part. Adriana’s outfit is horrible, but otherwise she’s gorgeous. Alessandra stands out the most though – that girl looks completely radiant!

  152. Michelle | 6/04/11

    Its SCARY that the blondie isn’t photoshopped&her legs are THAT skinny on camera. IMAGINE IN PERSON! freakyfreakyfreaky, wayyy tooo skinny

  153. Rose | 6/04/11

    To be fair, although Candice IS scary skinny as far as I can see by comparison with the other two, her rib cage isn’t exactly visible and she still has boobs and a pert bum. So I’m confused…maybe she’s just naturally skinny? It doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. Also, I have a feeling she’s much shorter than wikipedia says she is. Cause she looks pretty diminutive in comparison with all the other VS models. Also, is it me, or does she look like a blonde Megan Fox?

  154. kate | 7/04/11

    is being naturally skinny a bad thing? I ain’t referring to Candice but seems like there is a lot ppl bad mouthing about healthy skinny. I was biking the other day and a lady at the park told me I should stop exercising because I look too thin. I was furious because exercise is actually good for my health and vitality. Nothing wrong with working out 3 times a week and eat a big bowl or sauce potato and meat instead of burgers and fries. I probably eat more than most ppl I know and am smaller Candice. Not to mention I am turning 30 soon. I have never ate under 3000 calories a day. I shop at Costco as a single person and I eat more bread than a family of 5. There are skinny people and Candice looks like one of them. Just look at her body structure. She’s got meat on her. My legs, waist and arms are smaller than her and I got no bones sticking out.

  155. Jj | 7/04/11

    I’m loving Adrianna’s gothic look, she’s so hot. Candice like everyone else said that first picture is so distorted by how she’s posing. gross.

  156. kitten | 7/04/11

    i think candice looks flawless. that first pic is a little scary but come on…all of the VS models are one step away from looking “scary skinny” and i’m sure not one of them is at a healthy weight. no point in criticizing one over the others. i’d kill to look like any of them.

  157. Jade | 7/04/11

    STLrapper and Summers, how do you two even know what countries random anonymous posters are from? What is the point of bringing up the United States? Newsflash: Plenty of countries aren’t far behind. The only jealous people are the ones that bash America any chance they get. Must be a reason you guys pay so much attention to us.

  158. kyro | 13/04/11

    Candice is super thin but she doesnt look unhealthy. You can still see that she has some muscle and fat on her but shes just naturally tiny. She isnt boney or emaciated looking and is probably just one of those small percentage of girls that we all hate that is just naturally built very small… damn her lol! I think she looks good and she still has a some curves (just very tiny ones)…
