Vogue Cover: Ashley Graham Photoshopped to Look Thinner? Here's What She Replied to Critics

Vogue magazine's cover this month aims to celebrate ‘all types' of beauty where plus size model Ashley Graham is also on the mag's diversity cover alongside Kendal Jenner, Gigi Hadid with five other models - Liu Wen, Kendal Jenner, Imaan Hammam, Adwoa Aboah and Vittoria Ceretti wearing black turtlenecks and patterned bikini bottoms. Howbeit, many fans have suggested that the cover image appeared to have been photoshopped.

Graham is size 16 and Vogue has been accused of tampering the image making Ashley look thinner by editing Hadid's hand and arm to appear longer than normal to cover up Graham. One fan asked on Instagram what happened to Hadid's arm and another one wrote that Hadid's hands and arms are miles long. "Beauty revolution' but still trying to make @theashleygraham appear thinner...Practice and execute your own message," wrote another fan.

Another fan even expressed how disgusted he is and said that revolutionary doesn't mean photoshopping a plus size woman in Vogue's mag cover. "You guys are such hypocrites it's disgusting," he wrote. Other fans also criticized the photographer for having Graham pose with her arm down over her leg, which is apparently different from the rest of the models.

Graham then replied to her critics on Instagram that she chose to pose like that in Vogue's diversity cover and that nobody told her to do anything. Last month, she shared a photo of her thigh cellulite on her social media sending an important message to her fans not to be ashamed of the type of body they are in. The photo features Graham, 28, in her animal print bikini and body jewellery where her thigh cellulite is in full view but included a message telling fans not let cellulite put them down.

Graham last year became the first plus size cover model of Sports Illustrated and also appeared on the Cosmopolitan and Maxim covers, according to the Telegraph. Vogue has yet to comment on the controversial mag diversity cover. Stay tuned.
