Mila Kunis Felt Flat When She Lost Weight

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Mila Kunis felt "flat" when she slimmed down to 98 pounds for her role as a ballerina in Black Swan.

The 28-year-old actress admitted that she felt like she had no shape when she filmed the movie with Natalie Portman. "Flat, flat, flat. There was no shape, no form, nothing, nothing," she told Glamour.

Now that the Ted star has gained back 25 pounds to bring her up to her normal weight she feels like her critics are as disappointed as when she was thinner: "This is my normal body. It's not 98 pounds. God, I'm probably 25 pounds heavier in muscle mass and weight at this point. What was crazy was, when I was shooting Black Swan, everyone was like, 'Gosh, you're really too skinny.' Then my weight started bouncing back and they're like, 'She looked better when she was anorexic-looking.' You can't please anyone!"

Mila maintains that she has never suffered an eating disorder and only transformed her body for the film. "It was just for work. I didn't do it because I had issues. Now this is my normal weight that I started out with."

Black Swan Expected to Influence Spring Fashion

Prepare yourself for a bombardment of tutus, feathers, and knits -- Rodarte fans are swooning everywhere! It's bad enough that people are clocking in more hours at the gym because of Black Swan, but now clothing designers are banking on the film's popularity in hopes that consumers will flock to their stores, too.

Costume designer Amy Westcott worked with Rodarte duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy in bringing the gothic fairytale looks to life. "We had an affinity for the subject matter," Kate said. She added that it helped her understand the "darker nature and twisted kind of underbelly" of the ballet world.

Lagerfeld's Spring/Summer 2011 collection already reflects a feminine-with-a-dash-of-darkness theme, complete with dark eye makeup, sheer materials, and jeweled fabrics. BCBG Max Azria and Lipsy of London are due to sell tutus come this Spring.

Amidst this dance craze, let's not forget that there's always American Apparel.

Despite the high pressure demands of designing their Rodarte line, Kate and Laura Mulleavy somehow managed to both design costumes for Black Swan and guest edit next month's issue of Lula!

In the Fall/Winter 2010 issue -- on newsstands now -- the creative duo styled a Kirsten Dunst editorial shot by their friend Autumn de Wilde, designed Charlotte Gainsbourg's cover dress, and cajoled Tavi Gevinson and Sofia Coppola to contribute to the fashion mag.

The magazine also includes behind-the-scenes shots of Natalie Portman in Black Swan designs, which show more of the intricacies the sisters are known for that were lost somewhat in the film. Nan Goldin shoots the main editorial featuring Gainsbourg, which was styled by Leith Clark.

All in all, the few previews of the magazine that are out (seen after the jump) are sure to please any Rodarte/Mulleavy fan (or anyone who adores fashion, anyway!).
