Lily James' small waist became a topic of conversation, and now addressing the bigger issue.
Controversy over Lily James' waist isn't over yet.
Disney was accused of digitally altering the Cinderella star's waist to make it appear smaller, but it was actually a corset James wore underneath.
In an interview with HuffPost Live, the 25-year-old actress spoke out about the ongoing controversy about her small waist. "Why do women always get pointed at for their bodies?" she asked. "And why is this whole thing happening and I'm constantly having to justify myself?"

Sunday was International Women's Day, prompting James to think about issue as gender-related. "International Women's Day has just gone, and it just feels just a bit sad that it's still happening," James said. "You know, I'm very healthy and I always have been."
Her Cinderella co-star Richard Madden, who plays Prince Charming, also defended James.
