i’m all for a thin girl. but, this nearly brings a tear to my eye. our standards of beauty today… this poor girl.

Beautiful in a very fresh way and she seems perfectly normal to me for a 15 year old that tall, she’s Dutch they are build skinny and tall !!!
Dale
January 13, 2010 2:00am
I agree with Carol, she seems very tall for 15 years I’m sure her body is still changing. Dutch girls seem to have a slim tall build. Kind of harsh to say poor girl because of your own standards. A lot of models say they were bullied for being tall and skinny when young and still in school, go figure. She’s very pretty and I’m waiting to see more on her.

Absolutely agree, she looks very healthy and Dutch kids indeed first grow north before they go east and west; she is stunning!

I’m 100% Dutch.. also model.. and really.. The dutch models have problems with keeping their hips under 90 centimer. It’s a big issue that many girls have. Sad to see. I know many pretty/talented girls that have 95 and nobody wants them..
but Daphne is just 15.. come on.. she needs to develop!!

Daphne has a great look!! I already saw some pictures of her a little while back and she has lots of potential. She is going to do very well!!
Lot’s of young girls starting out have her measurements, tall and skinny, that is also why they are scouted to be models!! When they reach 18 their bodies have developed and usually changed a bit she is still growing and looks healthy to me as well.
@ Wendy and Jared Let’s not judge so harshly. Not cool!! Come on, not every skinny girl in fashion has a problem!!!!

No need to critique her weight, she’s 15 and tall obviously shell look like a string bean she prob just got her you know what.
I’m all for the 14 yr old models and what not (if not we wouldve missed Tanya D) but when the girl’s face looks like she’s 9, I can’t get into the look.
aya
January 13, 2010 1:27pm
she looks amazing, great potential. I’m sure she’s a normal healthy eating 15 year old, she’s very tall for her age – that’s probably why she’s skinny
Sydney
January 14, 2010 11:26am
I cant believe some of the comments on her weight.
She’s 15! I was that skinny when I was 15 and my eldest neice is 14, tall like Daphne and has the same proportions.
I think the comments on her weight are cruel and sick.
She’s stunning – she’s going to be just fine if not more! :)
Erika
January 14, 2010 4:56pm
This girl, despite these rediculous comments regarding her weight, is most likely going to be the next big thing… she has every element required to be a serious contender in the fashion world! Good luck to her.

She is 15. Her body will develop. In any case, one should stop constantly critiquing other people’s body. To say that someone is “unhealthy” (whether too skinny or too fat) just based on how they look and without knowing what their natural metabolic rate/ bone structure/ eating habits is to judge someone too quickly and too unfairly.

exactly.
some people, believe it or not, are just naturally slim – some people cant gain 30 pounds even if they wanted to royy4. I wish people would stop labelling naturally slim people with eating disorders. Eating disorders are serious. Its not fair to go around saying every slim person has one or doesnt eat anything. I’m 5’8 and 8.25 stones and I eat about 4 meals a day – often KFC or Pizza or bangers and mash – proper food. I do not ‘need to gain 30 pounds’ because I’m healthy and Daphne is meant to have some more fat on her bones then it will happen naturally.
Sydney
January 15, 2010 1:03pm
Also, jayy4 by saying ‘she needs to gain 30pounds’ it sounds like your just trying to mold her into an image that reflects what you think is right which is just as bad as those who think the model industry think that beauty only lies in skinniness.
Just because the industry thought it would be more efficient to say all models need to be around size8(UK) so designers know they can make their clothes a certain size and its going to fit no matter how late they pick a model.
Bernadette
January 16, 2010 5:12pm
I don’t think she’s anorexic or wasting away. I think that’s how she is built. She’s only 15. She’s very beautiful and fresh looking. (Naturally thin girls abound in modeling.)
mk
January 16, 2010 7:49pm
I dont think she looks too thin per say, just not 15. When I was 15 I surely didn’t look like that. I looked more like this (body wise) when I was 9/10. really weird.

We shouldn’t be judging anybody by their height, or weight, or body porportions, for that matter. The fact is that every human comes in different shapes and sizes. What we need to look at is the fact that most “female” models in the fashion industry are in fact not even female at all. Most are either males who have had sex changes or in the process of having a sex change. They choose to do female modeling instead of male modeling, because female fashion modeling pays much much more than does modeling careers. As well as there are more job opportunities. And what is very sad is that the fashion industry promotes this for whatever there reasons are, and I am quite sure that they have many reasons for supporting and promoting this. Indeed the fashion industry is in need of a change in the industry especially within the “male” modeling industry. As for female fashion, it is indeed a psychological game designed to test our common sense amongst other things. I do say that I am very amazed at how many people are willing to belieive that most of these so-called female fashion models are indeed female when it is very obvious that they are not. After all that is why so many young girls and women who aspire to look like these models are never able to achieve this…

She looks too skinny to me too, but what the hell. she’s 15 and developing. i think it’s normal for a 15 year old to look like this.when they reach 18 then usually we could see changes.not just the body, but the face as well sometimes.
but anyway,i can understand why she said she like Doutzen. she looks something like Doutzen^^

Yes, she is skinny. But may be it’s just a childish body. May be her body has not been developed yet.

She has the look of a potential future supermodel.Only 15 and 5’10+”tall.She may grow taller yet.Can she walk,does she have the stare so essential with todays supermodels?She stands out,she’ll succeed,I have no doubt.All will depend on her attitude and work ethic.Good luck to her.

She’s just simply gorgeous…a ‘skinny’ story of ‘old’—it’s all in the genes guys ( I bet she has tall, slim parents too; or at least one of the parents). Brooke Shield’s father is quite tall and that’s why she’s at least 6′ tall now…the same story goes with a super-gorgeous Brit model years back, Jodie Kidd—look it up guys:)
Astation
July 7, 2010 12:33pm
She is lovely and I wish her the very best. But the discussion should not be about her weight, but her age. Sure she is naturally slim and will probably always stay that way. But a slim 20-year-old or a slim 15-year-old, there’s still a difference in body shape and dress size. The fashion industry should not be allowed to use children to model anything other than children’s clothes.

Heeft mooi koppie, maar is echt té dun!
Weer een slecht voorbeeld voor alle meisjes van deze leeftijd!

Maar gun haar overigens zeker wel een mooie modellencarriere…!

I’m 100% Dutch.. also model.. and really.. The dutch models have problems with keeping their hips under 90 centimer. It’s a big issue that many girls have. Sad to see. I know many pretty/talented girls that have 95 and nobody wants them..

I’m one of them and it sucks!
I hope that Daphne is healthy because she doesn’t look like it. -sorry!
But good for her and I hope she gonna be a topmodel.:D (go holland!)

Knap meisje maar echt te dun. Dat is lijkt bij veel meisjes een obsessie. Doutzen is niet zo dun en haar voorbeeld, dus hup aan de havermout, een paar kilo zwaarder meer is niet nodig en je bent PERFECT!

Dear Miss Groeneveld (if you’re reading this),
You have a beautiful face and gorgeous hair. You’d be a superstar with some muscles on those arms and legs. Thin and strong is sexier than thin and frail. If you’re naturally this thin while eating a normal diet of 1,800 cals + per day, then throwing in a protein shake with a vitamin boost and some weight training wouldn’t change your eating routine much at all but would have some stunning results.
I’m sure your parents are encouraging you to maintain a healthy lifestyle; don’t listen to designers whose perspectives are warped and unrealistic.
God Bless & Good Luck!

she’s obviously an absolutely stunning, striking girl but she looks so out of proportion. I’m someone who thinks skinny, angular girls are gorgeous but shes so ‘lollpop’ headed! give her a few years and I’m sure she’ll fill out but for now, there is no way that is a good image to send out.
fashionfades
November 4, 2010 11:35am
also it is not ‘normal’ for a 15 year old to look like this
I’m not saying shes not normal, because everyone has a different view of what is normality. But as a 15 year old, in the modelling industry, I can say I have never ever seen someone quite so waif-like.

July 25, 2012 8:36am
sigh i wish, people would just see people as they are, fat or skinny, if weight wasnt such an issue, eating disorders wont exist and life would be so much happier. skinny models wont matter because weight wont matter, the reason why people are so obsessed with skinny or whatever, is because you guys make such a big deal about it.
so if you really want to make a difference, stop caring about weight and enjoy fashion and models as they are, a form of art, it is with interesting faces like hers thar inspire designers and artists alike.
cheers:)
