Zendaya was surprised to see her body look different in a 2015 shoot for Modeliste magazine.
“Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19-year-old hips and torso quite manipulated,” she wrote on Instagram. “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.”
The magazine’s editor blamed “an independent editing company,” pulled the issue, and restored the original photo for publication.
“Modeliste advocates positive body image, self-love and the empowerment of women,” Amy McCabe, the Editor in Chief, wrote in an open letter. “We are all beautiful and unique in our own way, and it is through these differences that make us who we are as individuals.”
