Crystal Renn originally made a name for herself as a plus size model, but it appears that her curvy days are most definitely over, judging by photographs of the model at an event in New York last night.
The 25-year-old star showed off her even slimmer frame and newly platinum blonde locks at the 9th Annual Spring Dinner Dance New Year's In April: A Fool's Fete at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The model wore a gorgeous Zac Posen gown for the occasion, pulling her best model poses for the waiting photographers at the event.
Since first hitting the catwalk as a plus size model back in 2006, Crystal has lost an extraordinary amount of weight, which has left her virtudally unrecognisable from her former appearance.
Speaking recently about her weight loss, Crystal said: 'I've been a double-zero, children's clothes, at 95 pounds, and I've been all the way up to a size 16 and everything in between.
'Now I’m a 6, 8, sometimes a 10 depending on what designer I'm wearing. And that's an interesting place to be in fashion, where extremes are the norm.’
Crystal burst on the modelling scene after being scouted in her home town of Clinton, Mississippi at age 14.
She was apparently told she would need to lose a third of her total body weight, but after years of battling with anorexia, she gained 70 pounds and re-emerged as a plus-size model.
The model has been open about her struggles with eating disorders in the past, penning a tell-all book called Hungry: A Young Model’s Story of Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves.

In the book Renn detailed how she developed an eating disorder and in a typical day she would eat lettuce and vegetables all day long while going to up to 10 castings.
She also had an obsessive gym habit and would workout for three to four hours minimum and sometimes even up to eight hours.
Later she went on to enjoy several years as a plus-sized model before revealing in November 2010 that she had dropped several dress sizes due to taking up hiking and yoga.
However, her dramatic weightloss has raised fears that the recovered anorexic has relapsed
