Kelly Ripa couldn't have looked more stunning as she flaunted her fit figure in swimwear while soaking up rays back in February 2018. The talk show host, 53, flashed her washboard abs and super-toned legs in a black bikini while enjoying a sun-soaked vacation, one quickly making headlines for seeing her showing some skin. Despite an impressive display of her workout body as that triangle bikini highlighted her shredded frame, trolls seeing the photos dubbed Kelly unfeminine, with many likening her physique to that of a child.

Kelly was photographed both solo and with a female friend, who wore a black one-piece swimsuit. The Live! host, at the time still sharing the morning talk show with former cohost Ryan Seacrest, added elegant, discreet bangles and earrings to accessorize her look, also showing off her blonde locks from under her straw hat.

The images, published by The Daily Mail, garnered over 400 remarks. While some called Kelly too thin and one troll suggested that she'd eaten a "grape" for lunch, others suggested that she doesn't look like a woman.

'Body Of A Child'

"That's not an "amazing bikini body". She has no waistline and is built like a boy. Do not confuse underweight and skinny with a "bikini body,'" one user wrote. Another said that Kelly Ripa has the "body of a child." Plenty more jumped in on the figure front, with one user saying that Kelly has "the body of a 14-year-old boy."

Attempting to bring some reason to the rising pile of trolling remarks, one fan wrote: "For those of you saying she has the body of a boy- at least she is keeping it real. If she had fake implants all of you would be criticizing her and calling her fake. She looks good... just accept it."
