While some complimented the catwalk queen, many suggested that she needs to gain weight. Countless users said that Bella had too many "bones" on show, with more than one fan calling her "too skinny." Bella was even called "skin and bones" in one comment.

Told She 'Needs To Actually Eat Food'

"She needs to actually eat food" was yet another popular comment. Bella Hadid, who suffers from Lyme disease, has opened up about suffering from an eating disorder back in her high school days. In a candid 2022 reveal, the A-lister admitted that she became addicted to calorie-counting apps. "I'd pack my little lunch with my three raspberries, my celery stick. I was just trying, I realize now, to feel in control of myself when I felt so out of control of everything else," she stated.

Bella admitted that she still struggles with body dysmorphia, a condition actress Megan Fox also suffers from.
