Gemma Ward was one of the greatest models in high fashion, starting the "Babydoll" face trend in the modeling industry.
But after her weight gain (rumored to be caused by the death of Heath Ledger), she has kissed good-bye to the fashion industry.
Did you like her during her years as a supermodel?

Yes!

I loved her doll-like looks. It's a shame I don't see her in editorials anymore :( I mean, there ARE fashion models who aren't a size 0 or 2 nowadays...I don't see why she couldn't have strived for that?

Actually, most runways don't allow size 0 models nowadays. They are now into 2 to 4. I think she just doesn't want to model anymore :-(
Just look... Especially her legs. I don't think she could model anymore.

It's so sad...

Do you work in the industry? If not, then you can't speak for most runways.....I am sort of a size 4-I'd NEVER be able to walk.

....Really? Again, there are fashion models are Sizes 8-12. They're called Plus Models. :D

I don't work, but I have friends and acquaintances who do.
I can name quite a lot of size 4 models: Natalia Vodianova, Liu Wen, Karlie Kloss, Barbara Palvin (she recently gained weight), Lara Stone, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Naomi Campbell, Coco Rocha... But of course, they are tiny size 4's. In fact, Doutzen Kroes, Tyra Banks and Behati Prinsloo are size 6. But I think that it is because they are perfectly proportionate.
Size 0 has been banned not a long time ago because there were too many anorexic models (VERY bad press for the industry) and some even died on the runway (literally, like Luisel Ramos).

Hm, I thought they were smaller than that. Regardless, I say that size 0 girls SHOULDN'T be banned if they're naturally like that. Seems stupid to ban someone who doesn't have any eating disorder and is just terribly lucky

There are still some size 0 models out there, but they must have the minimum BMI of 18, so it is kind of hard, but still possible.
I can't really think of any model who is a size 0 now. They are mostly 2's.
