Anna Wintour Has Beef With Sienna Miller

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Sienna MillerBeing on the cover of Vogue is a huge honor -- one that many actresses covet. So if you're asked, you better be prepared to do as you're told and make a few sacrifices in the name of fashion. Anna Wintour has high expectations that must be met -- and the demands of the Prada-wearing "devil" are coming out in a documentary that revolves around the magazine's September 2007 Sienna Miller cover shoot.

Fergie Gets Photoshopped and Feathered

Celebrity Fashion Ads

    Fergie for M.A.C.'s VIVA GLAM collection
    Fabulous, feathered, and just a little airbrushed.

    MAC Cosmetics

    Katie and Posh's Dueling Ads
    We know it's tough to tell the difference, but that's Katie Holmes on the left for Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham baring (nearly) all for Giorgio Armani. The campaigns launched within days of one another -- so the question is: who's hotter?

    Miu Miu/Armani

    Madonna for Louis Vuitton
    Anyone else tired of the trademark Madonna crotch shot?

    Louis Vuitton

    Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu
    We prefer Katie Holmes, hands down.

    Heidi Klum for Jordache
    The jean company was apparently trying to target the "hot mom" demographic.

    Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur
    Arguably the iconic lingerie maker's most famous star.

    Liv Tyler for Gap
    The actress helped boost the fledgling brand as it tried to overhaul its image.

    Maggie Gyllenhaal for Agent Provocateur
    No stranger to seduction, the Secretary star was stunning in this sexy lingerie.

    Eva Mendes for Calvin Klein
    The TV ads for this campaign are so racy that they were banned in the US (and then subsequently made famous on the Internet).

    Scarlet Johansson for Louis Vuitton
    Is there ever a moment when ScarJo doesn't look absolutely gorgeous?

We already know Fergie loves cosmetics by M.A.C. -- after all, it's the brand she chose to wear for her recent wedding. But, M.A.C. also loves Fergie -- she's the current face of their VIVA GLAM collection, and the ads show a fabulously feathered Fergie. And, unless M.A.C. does a better job at hiding flaws than we thought, there was a wee bit of airbrushing going on, too.

The shots, as you can see in the gallery, are sexy and surreal (and kind of makes us wish we had occasion to wear feathered corsets). And as hot as the photos are, they weren't taken strictly to garner attention for the VIVA GLAM line -- she's promoting a limited edition cosmetic for the company to help HIV/AIDS Awareness charities. The singer hopes this will help educate her fans about the dangers of the disease.

You know, we'd like to be all upset about the photoshopping being done here -- she's a beautiful woman wearing a ton of makeup to begin with -- but we think we're just becoming numb. And the fact is, if they hadn't airbrushed her, somebody would probably be writing about the fact that she didn't look like a dewy 20 year old. We're just going to focus on where to get one of those feathered numbers.

Khloe Kardashian naked for PETA - Stylefoul!

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Celebs Get Naked for PETA

    PETA is all about protecting animals in the wild -- but that shouldn't mean they have to make their celebrity campaigners look like they belong in the wild!

    Khloe Kardashian's hair is out of control in this picture. It looks like a lion's mane. While crazy hair can be sexy in some instances, we think this is a little much. Her hair is bigger than her booty -- and when you're talking about a Kardashian rear-end that's saying a lot!

    Plus, as with all PETA ads, the airbrushing team has gone overboard. Khloe and her sisters are all very pretty gals, but they do, in fact, have pores.

Jessica Alba Airbrushed - Because She's Not Hot Enough on Her Own

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Celeb Photoshop Disasters

    Jessica Alba's newly released calendar is hot, hot, hot! And so is she -- but apparently that's not good enough for the folks at Campari. Jessica is one of the sexiest women on the planet, yet pictures that came out this week show just how incredibly airbrushed the calendar really is.

    Honestly, we like the before photos better. Why would you airbrush out a women's hips completely? Not only is that unnatural, but it also looks ridiculous! The airbrushed J.A. would be like Barbie -- unable to walk in real life.

    Standards set by magazines and media have always been unattainable with their images of what they consider to be perfection. But attacking the super-gorgeous Miss Alba with the airbrush machine takes it to a new level.

    Gwyneth Paltrow in Vogue

    Alien? Life-sized Barbie doll? Really, what was Vogue thinking with this cover? They left poor Gwyneth Paltrow practically unrecognizable.

    Gwyneth Paltrow in W Magazine

    Apparently the editors of W Magazine have it out for Gwynnie too. This time the Photoshop gods have left her looking a little *ahem, manly.

    Gwyneth Paltrow in Real Life

    The thing is, Gwyneth is gorgeous in real life. With her long, perfect blond hair and a great toned body, why does it seem that editors always go overboard on the airbrushing with her?

    Britney Spears in Blender

    When Britney Spears popped up on the cover of Blender this past March, looking as sexy as ever, our collective eyebrows immediately rose.

    Britney Spears in Real Life

    You see, in March, 2008, Britney looked a little greasier, a little heavier, and just all around a lot more trainwreck-ier.

    Jessica Simpson in Elle

    Why is her hair so much bigger than the rest of her body? What happened to her hips? And where did her butt chin go? When it comes to this Jessica Simpson Elle cover we have so many questions!

    The real Jessica Simpson is known for her curves, not for having a four inch waist.

    Beyonce in a L'Oreal Advertisement

    Beyonce goes the Michael Jackson skin lightening route in this L'Oreal ad that makes her look rather Caucasian.

    Yes, these pictures of Beyonce on the red carpet confirm that she is, in fact, a proud African-American woman.

Kate Winslet and the Parade Cover - New Photoshop Shenanigans!

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

We haven't seen her reaction yet, but we have a feeling that Kate Winslet is not going to be pleased about the drastic Photoshop job on the cover of the latest issue of Parade Magazine. Good grief! They made her look like a country western singer who's had too much work done!

Kate Winslet - Vanity Fair cover prompts retouching rumors

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Kate Winslet is one of our most favorite actresses in the world. (Kate, next time you're in San Francisco, lunch is on us. Seriously -- we'll take you for a lobster club at Neiman Marcus that will change your life!) So we're firmly on her side in the "Vanity Fair Photoshop or not" debate.

Paris Hilton wants to help Sarah Palin find her inner skank

Imagine a Photoshop-free magazine cover

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


Now this is a group movement we can get behind! Dodai over at Jezebel tipped us off to this campaign to get a major magazine to publish a cover without any Photoshopping!

Considering the egregiously heavy handed state of retouching these days, this would be a radical move. Remember the big Faith Hill before and after Redbook cover? The weird gold Gwyneth Paltrow cover of W? The "Is that really Drew Barrymore" Vogue cover? And this Marie Claire cover of Tina Fey, where she looks great, but not quite like herself...

Seriously, when you have to make these women look "better" to sell your product, your standards of beauty are warped.

Jennifer Aniston's head is the spokesmodel for Huaxing panty hose

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Celebrities with Style


We have no idea who's behind Huaxing Classic Socks or if they make a quality product, but we're pretty sure they didn't pay Jennifer Aniston's head to endorse their "flaring panty-hose." We've been speculating on who this body belongs to for the last five minutes. Probably some random model -- but we like to think it's Cybill Shepherd.

The thing we like most about this example of unlicensed celebrity endorsements is the fact this hack designer's terrible Photoshop job will probably draw more attention to Huaxing's panty-hose than an unadulterated image of Jennifer Aniston ever could

Mischa Barton gets naked for 99-cent undies?

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style



(Click the image for more sexy celebrity advertising)

The way Mischa's career has been going lately, this wouldn't be that surprising, but no, of course it isn't real. Clearly, the image is merely the actress' face plastered on of some random topless body.

But where did it come from?

The photo was snapped by a reader of the blog, dlisted, who writes: "So I'm going through the aisle and I see that this store sells everything, the kitchen sink, your moms, and panties. Below is the picture of the panties they are selling. I'm pretty sure Mischa Barton doesn't want you to know she's hawking 99 cent store panties."

Not exactly a stellar Photoshop job by the makers of Tyrone's 99-cent underwear -- but you never know, it might fool some people into dropping their hard-earned quarters on a pair of Mischa panties.

Jennifer Hudson only spent $36 on the dress for her album cover

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Either Jennifer Hudson's album team was working from a low budget or she's just a fashionista who likes a bargain. The dress for her album's cover only cost $36.00! How's that for a steal?

Maggie Gyllenhaal gets jokerized on magazine cover

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


We're used to seeing celebrities reshaped and twisted into impossible poses using a little photoshop magic, but when it comes to tweaking lighting effects to ridiculous levels, Tatler magazine might be breaking new ground. Remember in the first Batman, where Jack Nicholson's joker invented a green gas that turned people into grinning corpses? That's pretty much the first thing we thought of when we say the cover of Tatler's August issue.

Perhaps the photo editor was actually trying to make some kind of reference to the latest Batman movie, but they probably should have given some kind of a disclaimer. This image is making people wonder if the folks at Tatler thought that Maggie was cast as the villan. Maggie does possess that quirky kind of beauty, especially those light colored eyes. When you crank up the brightness 300%, she looks kind of demonic.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Vogue cover bombs

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Poor Gwynnie. Her Vogue cover issue was their lowest selling issue of the entire year so far. Maybe that's because nobody realized it was a picture of her on the cover -- she was Photoshopped until she looked like a wax statue that just vaguely resembled Gwyneth Paltrow.

Miranda Kerr goes topless, Photoshopped for Aussie mag

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style




In this day in age, with Photoshop techniques so sophisticated that the public is routinely fooled, it's always surprising to see celebrities turned into porcelain dolls on the covers of major magazines. However, this recent Men's Style cover is so far from human it's ridiculous.
