Crystal Renn Shockingly Svelte In New Pics (PHOTOS)

Update: Fashionista contacted Renn's agent Gary Dakin who said, "She is still a 39-40 hip (she fluctuates like any woman), and a solid size 10. She has no urge [to lose weight]."

He added, "She's an amazing model. She can make herself look bigger or smaller depending on what the client wants."

Plus-size model Crystal Renn looks shockingly svelte in photographs for the Fashion for Passion campaign shot by Nicholas Routzen. We first noticed she looked thinner in May at the Chanel Cruise show, but her agent said she wasn't trying to lose weight.

These are one set of images we actually hope were photoshopped, for her sake.

Here is Renn in 2005:

Good career move...GAIN WEIGHT to become a famous spokesperson for 'heavier' models...then LOSE A LOT OF WEIGHT because, well, that's you're mentality...to look like all the other girls...

I'll be damned! I thought the skinny look was the old look! I like that better, but after looking at the plump look again, she wasn't that much of a cow then as I thought previously. She's only 24 so her skin must be able to snap back. I was just reading about some woman who had to have a tube in her to feed her and she almost croaked. She had seconds to live they said. But then she got brittle bones from malnutrition.

I think people are reacting the way they are in the comments, NOT because it appears she lost weight. Weight loss should be seen as a good thing, generally.

But she lost weight pretty quickly from the last pic HP had of her some months ago. Even with that said, she may have done it in an ultra-healthy way.

BUT! She has been very open about her past battles with anorexia and talked about how she dropped so much weight so quickly just to feel accepted in her industry. I personally just hope she's not going down that road again. Just as any illness dictates, once you beat it, you never out of the clear. You're always "recovering" and vulnerable to relapse.

What ever she's doing, I wish her the best.

She looks great here, much healthier than she did as a straight size model but I still like her best a little curvier.

Go look at some of her stuff on other websites. Holy Cow!! She is one of the most beautiful women in the world. No doubt.

Put some of that weight back on. Curvy girls are the most beautiful. Don't let fashion designers who aren't even attracked to women tell you what you should look like. They don't know because they all like men.

I can't believe that's the same person. And there's no way the girl in the first photos is a size 10. I'm a size 12 and I don't look anywhere near that size!

The first photos were taken in 2005, read.

The article is kind of pointless without current photos.

no YOU read.

The "2005" reference was for the bottom picture where she is with the designer on the runway and she's wearing the flowery dress.

the current picture is of her in the black shirt.

don't be so quick to make others look d u m b. you end up as the only one who fits the description.

Life.

Actually they did show current photos. The black and white photoes are current while the photo of her in the dress lower on the page is the one taken in 2005.

The top picture looks like she's had a bad nose job. The makeup is Addams family-ish.

Ha ha ha! I LOVE how everytime a fat girl loses weight, and someone likes it, everyone gets defensive. The truth is that America is an OBESE nation - far worse than it was just 20 years ago. So, stop with your "don't generalize" and "there is no 'average' " garbage. There is a very good reason WHY people generalize - it's called STATISTICS. And when more than 20% of your nation is OBESE and a far greater percentage is OVERWEIGHT, of course people are going to get defensive about being "a little overweight" or "having a lot of stress" or "body image concerns" or "everyone is a jerk, especially *you*". Whatever. Fat is fat. And if this woman is pretty as a size X, then let it be. But, please, please, refer to things like body fat % when making comments. Fat, to a percentage is healthy. Beyond or below a percentage is no healthy. My concerns are limited to HEALTH, not fashion or fetish. If she's healthy - great. If her back is hurting from the strain - NOT great. If discs are rupturing, diabetes is on the way - NOT GREAT. Otherwise, rock on!

Out of the 60% of adult Americans who are over weight, 30% of them are obese

I'm assuming you are "LAX" girl as in you are expressing your love for Los Angeles and not laxatives.

Anyone who doesn't look like they're starving is a plus sized model.

Honestly, from the first photos (b&w) she looks normal but you can't really tell 'cause of the baggy dress. In the second photo from 2005, she is definitely over weight which isn't good for anyone's body but not really that bad - obese - just generally over weight.

The whole idea that obese people don't need to loose weight is stupid. The idea that uber-thin Karen Carpenter types don't need to gain weight is stupid. The problem is unrealistic AND unhealthy body image. Both extremes need to be avoided. Photograph and use NORMAL women, neither truly overweight nor truly underweight. Any fashion campaign that does otherwise is stupid.

And any model that looses a ton of weight in too short of time is also stupid - possibly sacrificing their own short term health in search of money. Not saying she's done that - heck, I've lost 40 lbs in a little over 2 months in a healthy way.

Oh, by tomorrow, you'll have plenty of comments with the following schematic:
1) Congratulations on your weight loss
2) Not everyone is like you (mentally, physically, emotionally, whatever-ly)
3) Some people like fat people
4) Some people like to be fat
5) As someone who's lost a lot of weight, why are you trying to change other people, you know how awful that is.
By the time HuffPo's are done with you, you'll wish you'd never lost the weight, so you could enjoy being one of the complainers, rather than someone who is actively solving things (well, aside from things you can solve by donating money and time).

I don't care if she "tried" to lose weight or not. She's MUCH thinner than she was just 6 months ago and she looks unhealthy. She appears much healthier in the 2005 photo even though that is a monstrosity of a dress.

Surely, both weights are within the bell curve.

They dont' even look real. It looks like they photo-shopped her head. It's weird. Not sure how you can think it looks better if it is obviously fake.
