As the famous proverb states: 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.
I feel that rings true for this question - as everyone will have an individual concept of what they find sexy. Nevertheless, the idea of women being 'size zero' has really split opinion in recent times.
Size zero model debate It may be a bit of a stereotype, but women do seem to spend a significant amount of time worrying about their weight and what they eat.

Whilst it's understandable that women would want to achieve an alluring figure for all number of reasons, it gets a little bit more complicated when there isn't even consensus on what 'an alluring figure' is.
There has been well-publicized criticism aimed at television and the fashion industry for using unnaturally skinny women in glamorous or high-profile roles. It's argued that by doing so, these industries have made a virtue out of what is essentially malnourishment.
Personally, I think it's important to try and understand the dangers associated with using unrealistically (and even dangerously) thin women to model clothing.
The main worry is that young and impressionable girls, influenced by these style-icons, become more likely to fall victim to diseases like bulimia and anorexia
Size zero sexy? From a man's point of view, I'd suggest that being a size zero doesn't automatically imply beauty at all. In fact, I'd even suggest that a size zero woman might have just as much trouble with self-esteem and 'looking sexy' as an overweight woman might.
I often hear women complaining about how they wish they could lose weight to look like the latest top model, but they seem to forget how many skinny girls complain about not having the curves, breasts or bum of some of their more shapely counterparts.
My view is that women of all sizes have aspects of their bodies that will naturally attract men.
It makes sense to me that they spend time trying to emphasize and make the most of the assets they already posses, rather than worrying too much about what they 'don't look like'.
