Lily Collins, daughter of legendary drummer Phil Collins, graced the New York Fashion Week with her presence, and her post-baby snatched look triggered an outpouring of concern among fans.
The sighting comes after the actress welcomed her daughter Tove Jane into her home as recently as January 31.
Eight years prior, she portrayed an anorexic woman in the Netflix production To the Bone–a role she has described as deeply personal.

Circulating images of Phil Collins’ daughter depict her in a feathery, woven-looking white wardrobe.
From the waist down, a skirt covered everything up to just below the knee, and to match, she wore a strappy heeled sandal.
But above that, the brunette with a simple shoulder-length hairdo donned a strappy top that exposed a narrow waist and stomach sunken to the point that her hips seemed to protrude.

Photos of the 36-year-old posted to X drew close to six million views—only half a percentage of which were likes.
Ozempic speculation ranked high in the comments
“Holyozempic,” came the internet’s go-to criticism.
Another, rooting for the star’s snatched look, gushed, “Absolutely glowing, she looks like she walked straight out of a fairytale.”

But even this sentiment was criticized when one person asked:
“Why do people find malnutrition attractive? Does it show how committed they can be to not eating?”
According to another netizen, Lily’s latest look is merely a phase. They wrote: “Let her process and stop criticizing.”
But in certain dimensions of society, this level of processing would land people in hot water.

One netizen observed as much when they wrote:
“If someone’s child looked like that, [Child Protection Services] would take them away from the parents.”

And here is the secret to Collin’s snatched postpartum look (cue the drumroll):
“Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell,” she captioned an image of a newborn infant.
“Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way.”

The comment thread was filled with compliments and blessings.
Her newborn baby has unwittingly stirred up a separate controversy
But not everyone was won over by the sight.
“So glad surrogacy is forbidden in France. It is unacceptable to separate a baby from its mother,” the critic wrote on the next photo dump.
“The baby doesn’t care where the egg comes from, to him/her, his/her mother is the woman whose body was his/her home for 9 months,” the detractor reasoned.

“The bond between a baby and the mother before birth is so rich. This breaks my heart. So so sad.”
While Collins has never made her reason for choosing surrogacy public, she spoke of her fears of not being able to have kids due to past eating-related illness in a 2017 book.
The sighting comes nearly a decade after she admitted fearing not being able to bear children
In her memoir, Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, she described how the idea “ terrified her.”

She described her trepidation: “My hair and nails became brittle. My throat burned and my esophagus hurt. I had to stop menstruating for a couple of years. I was terrified that I had ruined my chances of having children. I was convinced that I had screwed myself beyond repair,” viaMarca.
She also starred in a movie in which she was cast as an anorexic
Then in the same year, To the Bone, in which she was cast as an anorexic, debuted on Netflix.
Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar later, she described the role as what has since been rephrased “deeply personal,” perthe Tribune.

“I wanted to reach this image of what I thought perfection was,” she told the outlet.
“As I grew older, I realised that perfection doesn’t exist… I don’t want these self-imposed issues to affect whether or not I can have kids.”
