Hopes that Nicole Richie had put on some weight have been overshadowed by a batch of new pictures.
They show the star on a Malibu beach in various bikinis.
And her bones are very visible.
Whilst the star has never admitted to having an eating disorder, she did tell Vanity Fair magazine in May:
"I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like.'"
And she revealed that she had hired a nutritionist to help her gain weight.
But has her plan to put on pounds hit rocky waters?
Judge for yourself in the gallery above.
