Bella Thorne was body-shamed last year as she put on a revealing display while attending a high-profile event. Channeling the sheer trend in an exposing braless dress, the Netflix star highlighted her curvy figure at the Art Of Elysium HEAVEN gala, where fans largely trashed her fashion choice.
Bella, who has openly discussed obsessing about her weight in the past, generally has fans thinking she looks healthier and happier than ever, but this crowd wasn't being kind. Bella, who rubbed shoulders with the likes of supermodel Heidi Klum and actress Christina Hendricks at the gala, was told she looks "chunky" by one hater, with another saying that she'd gained "so much weight."

Going figure-hugging in her clingy look, the Midnight Sun star drew the eye to her chest while looking confident, although she did don a pair of flesh-colored underpants to stay safe down below.
Bella's floor-length gown afforded a shimmery effect thanks to beaded crystals, with its slightly fishtail finish further flattering the star's frame. Bella added heels for some glam, also sporting her fiery red locks down.

The OnlyFans star added matte makeup, contrasting her pale foundation with her bold red lip and dramatic black eyeliner.
The photos quickly went viral, and it wasn't the best outcome for Bella in The Daily Mail's comments section. Multiple users here fat-shamed the former Disney star, with one saying: "Well, she certainly hasn't been skipping meals or taking Ozempic."

Over 40 fans agreed when another user wrote: "Bella looks chunky and uncharacteristically awkward here."
Also remarking on Bella Thorne's size, a further shamer said: "Wow, she looks like she's put on 40-50lbs since the last photo I saw of her when she was a bit on the thin side." Elsewhere, a fan said that Bella looked like she'd gained "so much weight." Bella made headlines in 2022 for posting on X to discuss healthy body image.
She revealed being on a workout kick, but that after six weeks of training, she'd only lost "one pound of fat" and gained "one pound of muscle." In her share, she also urged fans to get rid of their scales, stating that how women "feel" is more important than a number on the scale.
