La Toya Jackson has once again become a topic of conversation due to her noticeably slim figure.
The 69-year-old iconic entertainer showcased her svelte appearance in a bold black ensemble during the funeral of her niece-in-law, Toyia Jackson, earlier this week.
Toyia, who sadly passed away from cancer, was the daughter-in-law of Jackie Jackson, La Toya’s elder sibling.
At the funeral, La Toya opted for a striking outfit, featuring thigh-high suede boots, a ruffled miniskirt, and a sleek black satin blouse.
To highlight her slender waist, she wore a prominent black leather belt and completed her ensemble with stylish sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and a Chanel brooch.
Her eye-catching style and slim physique sparked varied reactions among fans. While some admired the former Sexbox star’s elegance, others expressed concern over her thin appearance.

‘We love you Toy. It’s time to eat a sandwich,’ commented one.
‘Gosh, my arm can’t even fit in her boot!! I hope she’s okay,’ wrote another.
‘I mean you no disrespect, I love your family like you wouldn’t believe. You’ve always been slim, but you’re very slim now. Is all okay?’ asked a third.
This isn’t the first time that Jackson has shocked fans with her figure.
Back in December, the former Playboy cover girl went viral after sharing a video of her alarmingly thin frame on social media.
After the clip racked up millions of views online, Jackson issued a vague statement in response to all the speculation surrounding her health.
‘I hear you, I see you, I send you love and I wish to say! Enjoy your weekend with all positivity!’ she wrote.
Her reassuring caption did little to quell concerns, with many of Jackson’s followers expressing their fears in the comments section.

‘Take care. You are so unhealthily skinny. We are scared about that,’ wrote one.
‘Honey we love you but are scared cos they wrote in the newspapers you’re ill. Please let us know about you dear, we are so worried,’ commented another.
Others defended Jackson’s petite appearance, with one fan writing, ‘Everyone is talking about her being thin. She looks really great to me, she has always been thin.’
Another wrote, ‘You look beautiful my dear sister and don’t let nobody make you feel otherwise.’
Last year, Jackson posted two cryptic videos in the span of three days featuring her visiting a doctor’s office to treat an undisclosed ailment.
‘I’m here at the doctor again, so I’m hoping that everything goes well with me, all results are good and I hope you guys have a great day, bye,’ she said in one video.
She returned to the doctor’s a few days later and said, ‘Guess where I am on this Monday morning? You guessed, that place again. I’m constantly getting check-ups. Oh well. Have a great week, guys.’
Jackson had a fuller figure in 2012, but has drastically slimmed down in recent years

Back in June, she exclusively told the Daily Mail that fans concerned about her frail 5ft4in frame should be reassured that her figure is all down to her healthy plant-based diet.
‘I’m strictly organic. I make sure that everything I eat is organic and my diet is basically based on plants,’ the singer explained.
‘So it’s a cruciferous diet basically and that’s what I stick to because this is what God put on the earth for us.’
A cruciferous diet emphasizes the consumption of cruciferous vegetables – which include broccoli, arugula, kale and cabbage.
While La Toya sticks to her veggies, she did admit that she occasionally eats chicken too.
