Let me get this straight. You were actually surprised that a movie about fashion was fat phobic....

[(Anonymous)]

No, I was surprised that what I thought was a joke about the otherwise clear fat phobia was in fact not a joke, in a comedy.

OP has already corrected you, but to add:

It's not just a "movie about fashion", it's a movie exposing a toxic workplace and particularly the toxic control freak who oversees it. Given that part of the toxicity is that the employees are held to the same ridiculous beauty standards as high fashion models, it's not crazy for op to have thought the movie might have been being clever about it.

Unfortunately, like so much media of the time, it just happily perpetuated fat phobia instead of critiquing it. Emily's diet of starving herself until she's about to pass out then eating a cube of cheese is funny! But Andy going down a dress size because she's working 14+ hour days at an incredibly stressful job with only a 15 minute lunch break that she often has to skip is a victory!
