While Erin Wasson was seemingly trying to be sexy in her latest Instagram shot, the model has instead come under fire for her shockingly thin frame.

The 32-year-old beauty posted a topless photo of herself on Sunday in which she's wearing nothing but a pair of black underwear while posing in a grassy field and overlooking the ocean, although commenters couldn't help but notice her extremely protruding rib cage.

"Live a little," she captioned the super-skinny pic.

While the photo has received over 5,000 likes from fans, the comments are far more controversial as her followers have expressed concerns for her health due to her extremely skinny figure.

"She's a skeleton" one viewer commented in alarm while another offered to "buy a burger" for the model.

"Beautiful is only the view but you ... Very sad ...," another concerned follower wrote.

While Wasson has yet to respond to the backlash, the model, who has appeared numerous times on international editions of Vogue, has previously spoken out about being bullied when she was younger for her thin frame. 

"I remember I was tormented for being flat-chested and really skinny, and I had really short hair because I would go to the barber and get my hair cut with my dad, so people always thought that I looked really butch," the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star told Sydney's Daily Telegraph. "I think, more than anything at this point in my career, my responsibility is to stay strong—mind, body and soul."

She added: "I've always been an athletic person, I've been blessed with good genes from my mum and dad and I'm going to ride that genetic wave for as long as I can."
