Gillian At The AwardsGillian At The AwardsX Files star Gillian Anderson looked a shadow of her former self at the British Independent Film Awards bash.  

Wearing a white halter neck dress, she showed off a new blonde hairdo but looked thin and drawn at the star-studded ceremony in London.

Most worrying, though, was the sight of her ribs, which were sticking out at the side of her dazzling outfit.  

Gillian, 36, was a sex symbol in her famous role as Agent Dana Scully in The X Files but concerns could now be raised about the actress's health.  

She also appeared to be having problems adjusting to the freezing cold weather outside the ceremony at the Hammersmith Palais.  

Mike Leigh's contentious film Vera Drake swept the boards at the awards, being named best film and taking the best actress prize for Imelda Staunton.
