While the 65th Emmy’s did not fail in its display of beautiful dresses, and people, there were other issues that caught the limelight too. One of the main topics that really had viewers talking were how skinny all of these Hollywood actresses were getting!

Modern Family star Julie Bowen admitted, although rather jokingly, to starving herself just so she could fit into her Emmys dress. The troubling part is, the actress was also quoted at the Emmys two years ago as saying that she wanted to look a little more curvy!

Anna Gunn, of Breaking Bad. also looked exceptionally skinny in her black and white ensemble. Besides the Breaking Bad star, viewers picked up on Clair Danes’ small frame and took their comments to Twitter. Aside from your usual actresses, there were TV hosts such as E’s Giuliana Rancic that also appeared extremely waifish. Other notable skinny Minnie’s included comedian Tina Fey, Aussie actress Rose Byrne and Scandal’s Kerri Washington.

While stick thin physiques were applauded in the past, this wasn’t the case this year. Audiences and viewers took to social media to give their honest opinions regarding the Emmy attendant’s teeny frames. Tweets urged the actresses to “eat a donut, or ice cream, or anything”. Others hinted at the negative body image messages these stars were giving out. And then, there were those that joked that addictive substances, like meth, could be causing the pin-thin figures.

It seems like the general public is in agreement that this year’s Emmys red carpet was extremely shocking. While Hollywood has always been known to be watchful of their figures, the public consensus is this- too many of them may have taken it too far this year! This leaves us with this year’s general public message- too skinny is not healthy! And of course, to all Hollywood actresses, do go out there and just eat something!
