This is Julia Roberts winning the Oscar for best actress. It was 2001. Notice that, despite the fact that she won for her portrayal of a very highly sexualized woman, she isn’t a stick figure. In fact, relative to the twigs of today, she is actually kind of thick and has pretty big arms. Could a woman could go to the Oscars looking like this today and not get called fat in the tabloids?

actually, i'm not so sure she'd be criticized too much since she's an older (though not at all old) respected, established actress.
that's just my opnion, though.

It might help me see the point you're making if you had a current actress photo to juxtapose with.
