The diet ads and beauty magazines will have you believing you’re not beautiful unless you’re a size 0 and possess no lines on your face. But we’ll have you know, “even Cindy Crawford doesn’t look like Cindy Crawford”. We uncovered several photos from various celebrities caught on film pre-photoshop. And suddenly we don’t feel so fat anymore.
Supermodel Reality
A pre-airbrushed photo was released in 2010, showing (from left to right) Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio, plus-size model (size 12) Crystal Renn, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl Brooklyn Decker.
Rail-thin Faith
About 4 sizes were removed from Faith Hill’s already diminutive frame in a 2007 issue of Redbook. Also gone are any laugh lines on her face, all imperfections, and her right arm. Looks like photoshop got a little overzealous.
Ageless Penelope
There weren’t huge changes made to this photo, but there were enough to make Penelope look not a day older than 22.
Time Stood Still
At least, it stands still when Madonna can erase time from her face.
Jessica Alba fat?
It’s not like she has ever been hefty. But apparently the beauty bombshell still needed to lose a few inches according to the Photoshop Gods.
Supermodel, Super human
Even the beautiful Cindy Crawford can’t escape the toll motherhood and age can have on a body.
Rolls and all
Model Lizzie Miller made waves in 2009 when she posed for Glamour magazine, allowing her imperfections to be included in the shot. Thousands of women wrote the magazine letters of appreciation, commenting on how sick and tired they are of being bombarded with unattainable images of perfection. One woman wrote: “I love this picture. I was starting to despair of ever seeing real women in magazines and it made me reassess how I look at myself. I have a similar tummy, which I hate – but look at her, she’s beautiful.”
Kurves for days
Kim Kardashian is famous for her curves. But a real woman cannot be that slender to have such accentuated curves. Not even the voluptuous pre-preggers Kim.
