Earlier this month Zendaya took to Instagram to blast Modeliste Magazine for sharing retouched images from her cover shoot.
Now, the photos are in —and while some are more manipulated than others — the pictures show clear differences in the before (left) and after (right) shots.
In one of the pics, a face shot of the actress, saturation has been altered giving the colors in the photo a more rich appearance. Alterations to Zendaya’s face and hair have also been made, as highlights in her wavy tresses appear more prominent and a few blemishes have been erased.
The Disney Channel star originally aired her frustrations on social media, sharing a body shot from the photo shoot, saying that the magazine was contributing to “unrealistic beauty ideals.”
“Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19-year-old hips and torso quite manipulated,” Zendaya captioned the side by side before and after. “These are the things that make women self-conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have.
“Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love. So I took it upon myself to release the real pic (right side) and I love it. Thank you Modeliste Magazine for pulling down the images and fixing this retouch issue.”
