Today's trope is Lean and Mean. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LeanAndMean

Black robes not fitting properly? Just try being a little more evil! Kicking puppies is good exercise after all! And don't worry about those meals you skip while you're scheming to take over the kingdom. Yes, the combination of your new villainous lifestyle and the laws of narrative causality will make those annoying extra pounds vanish before you can say "Are they even feeding Yzma?"

Sometimes used for an explanation, where the villain is nasty and vicious because she's so hungry. Very common among fashion-oriented shows to explain why the size 0 model is so cranky.

Also, they can be the Thin in the Big, Thin, Short Trio when being an evil group to contrast with the fuller member and the squat member.

TL,DR: A thin villain, either unrealistically thin or simply thinner than the heroes.
