Tyra Banks has defended her photo shoot for Kim Kardashian’s ‘Skims’ brand after allegations emerged that her photos had been heavily photoshopped.
Tyra Banks Speaks Out Amid Claims That Her Photo Shoot For Kim Kardashian’s Skims Brand Was Photoshopped-‘Looks Way More Beautiful Without The Edits’
Tyra is well aware of what it takes to make it in the modeling game by virtue of the fact that she did become the first ever black woman in history to appear on Sports Illustrated as a solo person.
While she has since then focused on other projects such as hosting ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ Kim was able to convince her to come out and support her campaign. In the picture here, we can see that Tyra is wearing the nightwear associated with the brand.
But much more than just the clothing, fans started to take a focus on Tyra’s body. The former is known for looking a certain way, which is why fans started to question the final pictures on the basis that she looked a lot slimmer.
One person wrote: “WHY did you edit and photoshop Tyra? She is naturally BEAUTIFUL,” while another person stated: “Tyra Banks looks way more beautiful without the edits in my opinion.”
Naturally, Tyra was not going to take those comments slightly. And in response, she let the fans know in no uncertain terms that she was fully behind Kim’s brand. In the process of doing so, photoshopping would go against everything that Kim was trying to promote: that being, accepting your natural beauty and feeling comfortable with it.
In an interview on the Today Show, Tyra said: “[Kim] said when I was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, she hadn’t seen boobs that were real and big. She said that that gave her self-esteem for her body. So we had, like, a serious conversation, and I finally said, ‘Let’s do this!’”
As long as Tyra and Kim are happy with the final results, then who are we to say otherwise. And that is the most important thing to remember going forward. With that being said, time will tell if the photo shoot does resonate with the public consumers. So there you have it folks. What did you think about all this?
