Lily Collins, who plays Emily Cooper in ‘Emily in Paris’ looks ‘too skinny’ in the latest Season 4, sparking curiosity among fans about her weight loss and the potential setback in her recovery from anorexia.
Ever since the fourth season hit Netflix, many viewers can’t help but wonder if the actress has gotten even thinner from the previous season. Her anorexic body is not something new to fans, but the latest transformation in 2024 is worrying them more than ever because her body looks extremely unhealthy.
So, did Lily Collins really lose weight? Why does she look so skinny? Or, has she always looked the same?
Emily in Paris Season 4: Lily Collins’ Weight Loss Is Worrying Fans
Lily Collins has undergone a noticeable weight loss in ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 4, sparking rumors of a possible relapse into anorexia. Unlike Ashley Park slimming down, fans on social media are understandably concerned about her extremely skinny physique at 35 years old.
One fan wrote,
I don’t usually talk about celebrities or other people’s bodies on here, but I was watching the new series of Emily in Paris and I think lily collins has got thinner. I know she was meant to be in recovery but it really doesn’t seem that way – hope she’s okay

Lily Collins is so skinny. It’s distracting #EmilyinParis
The actress previously lost weight for her role in the 2017 Netflix movie ‘To the Bone,’ where she played a character with anorexia. She was under professional supervision at the time, but Collins still found the weight loss process scary and she was not fond of the public response. She recalled an incident where someone praised her for her weight loss, which made her think, “That is why the problem exists.”
Amid the latest speculation, it’s worth pointing out that Lily claimed to have recovered from her past struggles with eating order, leaving some Netflix viewers confused about her underweight physique in Season 4 of ‘Emily in Paris.’ Over the years, some fans tend to praise her dedication to her roles, while others worry that her apparently ‘too skinny’ body might promote unhealthy beauty standards.
Lily Collins and the Anorexia Debate: Are Her Roles Sending the Wrong Message?
As you might already be aware, this is not the first time Lily Collins is at the center of weight loss speculations. Back in 2022, there were plenty of Reddit threads discussing her eating disorder and anorexia. Her fans were pretty worried about her role in ‘Emily in Paris,’ feeling it went against her claims of recovery. They thought her on-screen look, which many describe as ‘anorexic’ didn’t make sense with her supposed recovery, making it hard for many viewers to take her seriously. Fans were frustrated because they felt like they were misled about how she was handling her health.
People shared several of their own struggles with eating disorders and claimed that Collins’ portrayal in Season 2 didn’t match the reality of recovery, like at all. They were upset because they felt that her role in ‘To The Bone’ and her public statements needed to be more consistent. Many fans were also worried about the fact that her on-screen appearance might make it seem like being so skinny is okay.
The bigger issue here, though, is about how the media portrays body image. It’s a genuine concern that Collins’ appearance might influence viewers, especially those with body image issues, by making unhealthy body types look completely normal.
The general consensus is the actress has every right to keep her personal life private and she does not owe any explanation to any of us. On the other hand, some argue that Lily should be setting a better example for healthy body image since she is a celebrity who is always in the public spotlight. Acting as a role model naturally comes with the job.
