Size 0 is a US clothing size equivalent to a UK size 4. It's around about a 22-23 inch waist of a small child and for many brands it is the smallest size they make.
It initially became popular in the fashion industry due to it being a sample size for clothes on the catwalk. Designers believe that they can show there pieces much better on a thinner person due to movement on a curvy person. Because of this models began to slim down to a size 0.......which in turn followed with celebs doing it so that they can fit into these clothes.
It's now trickled down into the general public who want the celeb/model look.
Whether it is healthy or unhealthy all depends on the persons body. Short people can not look like models due to lack of height....yet being tall and a size 0 can make you very ill due to proportions.

Well these days in the US, we also get size "00". Typically in the US, size 12 is average among regular folks.

Size 0 will not look the same on everyone. It depends alot on your height, bone structure, build etc
Models are all at least 5'8/5'9....they start modelling or rather preparing for it, from a young age. Due to the lengths they go to, to achieve the size 0 look there bodies don't fully develop..........so when someone like Kareena or Victoria of a shorter height, who have previously been quite healthy, decide to diet and slim down to size 0, it's not entirely the same look as a model.

^^thats true but but size 0 is not exactly healthy whether from a young age or not they will still look gaunt etc and similar yes body structure might be different but kareena looks alot better compared to them and victoria beckham was not skinny at all when she started out in the spice girls..

Yea it's amazing how different Victoria looks now.....but although the media don't tend to publish ok looking pics of size 0 individuals, that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Soniya Mehra for example is a size 0 but she doesn't look ill or anorexic, due to her height and bone structure. On the other hand Mischa Barton who is said to be a size 0 still has curves, thighs and cellulite!.........the size 0 part is more to do with the actual size of the waist more than the whole body. So it is highly possible that Kareena's waist was a size 0.
As i said before, models will look ill as a size 0 because all of them are so tall and due to their chosen career other parts of their body are not given the chance to develop properly.

Jennifer Aniston and Coutney Cox from friends are both size 0. It all depends on the bone structure. I feel women with curve are more attractive. I was recently shocked to see size "00" double zero at Macy's. I feel even a 10 year old girl's dress is bigger then this size. Very pathetic. But then again here in the US people criticize if an actress gains weight. Take example of Eva Langoria, she is size 0 but she looks a little fuller on face, as required for her role on "Desperate Housewives" and people have started talking, the tabloid say that she is either pregnant or just plain "FAT".
