Maybe a holiday bloat or vacation water weight retention here. Taken from her IG story and post.
I have a hard time imagining her actually gaining any significant weight.

She’s not my ideal thinspo since I don’t smoke and no longer drink, and I find she doesn’t really eat much and relies a lot on smoking to repress her appetite.

When she is eating, she retains water rather noticeably like these pictures

She stated she quit smoking 6 months ago. I feel this could be the explanation of her weight gain (or bloat, it is hard to tell from a few pictures). I feel she didn't gain a bunch of weight immediately after quitting smoking, but perhaps more on the long run over the course of those few months.

I always forget that Alexa actually ages along with the rest of us. In my head she's still 24 and teens on Tumblr are still worshipping her as their soft-grunge cigarette-smoking idol when she's actually 38 now. She's done a decent job of preserving her skin and figure despite her many years of smoking and (from what I've heard) cocaine usage.

Throwback to simpler times...

Some more throwbacks inspired by @goyangmao — apologies if these have been posted before; tried to make sure they haven’t been but I might’ve missed them. She was always an inspiration to me from an early age because people often told me I resembled her. I’m an inch taller with a similar build (and bangs haha) but her legs at their slimmest were goals for me. She’s the reason I always wear tights too. A lot to unpack here but I thought I’d share a few photos I loved:

My goals have changed a bit but I’ll always remember her as a person whose overall aesthetic seemed somewhat attainable when I was growing up. Anyway! Sorry for the low resolution of the first few; they’re older files. :luvluv:
 
🤔 unfortunate lighting/posing or slight weight gain?
Actually doesn't matter, even if, she'll drop it as fast as she gained it.

My tumblr nostalgia wishes they would include more of her “band girlfriend” looks, still some nice thinspo (especially her legs in the picture with Karl Lagerfeld).
 
British Vogue and Alexa made an updated My Handbag Essentials video. Enjoy!

In an age of brainless and boring influencers and "models", Alexa is such a breath of fresh air. Consistently funny (in a witty way and not in a stupid way), reliably skinny, and genuinely charismatic. Wish there was more content of her online, I'd definitely prefer to watch her over people like Emma Chamberlain, the D'Amelio sisters, Kaia Gerber, Sydney Sweeney... the list goes on.
