Hilary Duff Is Mega Photoshopped in the New DKNY Jeans Ads…
… and that is NOT an over-statement – unless these pictures were taken in 2005.
Actually, if we take a close look, this is NOT Hilary’s body type at all – check out the second picture on the next page!
A few days ago, Hilary Duff was “too big” for Gossip Girl and now they replaced her figure with the one belonging to a tall & skinny model in these ads – great messages, guys!
And now the real Hilary…
That is absolutely awful – That just says, ‘Hilary is too fat to be pretty so we changed her. If you are her size you are not good enough’.
Eurgh
ha ha ha… at least it’s her face, though that also is photoshopped. well, it’s a campaign, the purpose is to sell, not to show the real hilary. why thin sells, that’s another topic of it’s own, models are supposed to be thind and to ad campaigns they often pick celebs just b/c people feel “closer” to them, or show intrest. it doesn’t matter to the companies what body they attach to wich face/persona
Shame! – I prefer her normal body. I hate photoshop!! (Well, apart from making fun pictures)
That’s just horrible she looks good now, and they do this! We dont always wanna see skinny tall models, we wanna see real women!
And tall skinny women aren’t real women?
I understand that you’re upset because of this magazine’s ridiculous level of photoshopping, but don’t take it out on thin women. The people at fault here are the magazine editors who decided that she wasn’t good enough, not thin women. Thin, tall women are real women, and Hilary Duff is a real woman.
Sorry I didn’t mean to imply that. I just was trying to say it was bad.
I understand.
I knew you didn’t mean it that way but tall, thin women might read it and get offended/hurt by it so I just wanted you to clarify that what you meant was that you don’t like what they did to Hilary Duff. And neither do I; I hope they at least asked her before doing it.
I am a tall and thin girl
Thats not bad
wow! it must make Hillary Duff upset to know that they feel like they have to photo-shop her that much. I know it would make me feel like crap. However, I really don’t think it was necessary… I honestly think she looks fine naturally!
It’s a shame it’s photpshopped because I think she looks awesome.
Poor Hilary! I wonder how she feels about being photoshopped like this. First thing she’s being told she’s too fat for Gossip Girl, now her body has been photoshopped to really skinny in her new ads.
She used to have an eating disorder, sadly it looks like she might head down that slippery slope again…
Crap! If they don’t like her body why did they choose her for the campaign? They should have picked some super skinny model instead.
If I were her, I would feel really disappointed and deeply hurt.
I bet she would look really nice in jeans with her current body! She has very nice legs even if they do not look like tooth pick.
WOW this is the worst case of body photoshopping I have *ever* seen
Its like they put her head on her sisters (taller, leaner) body… and then stretched it a little more. Weird.
I have Hillary’s body type(broad shoulders, plump arms) and it’s really hard. No one can accept it and have sympathy. Everyone just wants to talk about legs and stomach.
amy-
yours and hillary’s body type IS beautiful. anyone’s natural build is beautiful as long as they are healthy and happy with it themselves. dont get yourself down just because you may not have legs that are six miles long like gisele bundchen or miranda kerr
. i’m tall and have broad shoulders too…and small boobs- but hey, i embrace it! we’re all gorgeous if we believe we are ourselves
Since when was hilary 6ft tall? Defo just put her head on someone elses body, what a shame.
If they didn’t want her body shape modelling their product then why get her to do it.
She is gorgeous the way she is.
I don’t understand why a normal shape/size (although more than likely when face to face with her she’d be tiny) just isn’t good enough these days.
I don’t get it, I don’t understand why you’d want to look like that in jeans (referring to the photoshopped ad, not her in real life). I mean, aren’t tight jeans made to show off curves? I know that everyone gets photoshopped in ads, but I don’t think making her a size 0, or whatever her photoshopped jean size may be, isn’t necessary.
sorry, I meant “I don’t think that it IS necessary.”
i wanna see the “before” photos.
Me too! I’m starting to wonder if they even bothered getting her to wear the clothes and just took the photos of her face to stick onto a stick thin model with photoshop. Poor Hill!
Poor hill? She got her money. Do you think she cares for anything else? Wow, naive naive people. Let’s feel sorry for some celebrity for gaining weight and then being photoshoped and also getting paid for this. indeed, i’m drowning in tears.
You may not care about the celebrity, but you should care about the negative message that this sends out to her fans.
I should care about some stupid fans who think that if they photoshoped her, they should look like this? WHY?
Because, Uma, those fans aren’t “stupid”, they are impressionable young girls that are getting that message. Plus, it’s starting to get *beep* ridiculous how much they will change a woman when they put them in these stupid ads. Yes, she took the money, so *beep* what? Doesn’t mean that this whole photoshop them beyond recognition is right.
It is photoshopped, I’m not saying it’s not… however, this pictures were probably taken a few months ago, and if you look back in the archives you’ll find a post called “leggings look better on… whitney port vs hilary duff” dating from may, in which hilary actually looks quite thin (maybe not as thin as in the dnky ad but way thinner than she does in those other two pictures walking in the street). So maybe the ad is a little bit photoshopped (as most ads and magazine covers are) but I also think it might simply be that Hilary has put on a few kilos in the last two months, and the dkny pictures were taken before that…
I totally agree JS!! These pics were probably taken months ago. Sad to say that it doesn’t look like Hil put on a few lbs lately. But, I don’t think these are as photoshopped as everyone thinks!! She did look skinnier in that article with Whitney. Love the clothes!!!
i don’t get it!
why not hire skinny models instead of photoshopping??
cuz she’s famous? there are a lot of famous models!!! why do they have to do this to her! it’s not fair! (for her)
oh! and when i took a glimpse at the first pic (while scrwling down) i thought it was Blake Lively!!!!!
Tell me about it.. When i first saw these pictures i went so mad! It just totally looks like Hilary Duff is too fat to do anything!
Just one word: CREEPY!!!!!
I wonder if Hillary wanted this photoshop or not. Surely she should get some kind of say?
I do like the clothes though!! Do you?!
I don’t think these pics are as photoshopped as everyone is saying. They were probably taken months ago when she was thinner. Everyone does some photoshopping! Even for Gisele…they photoshopped out her pregnancy belly!! So, maybe Hil has put on a few lbs. recently. I think she was skinnier when she took these photos.
wow shit she looks 8 foot tall
and how tall is she? 5 foot?
This is ridiculous. She looks like a super skinny Blake Lively in these pictures.
why don’t they just hire a model, why do they have to do that to someone who doesn’t fit in their skinny ideas? and hilary is not over fat, she is healthy! gee..
Wow, that’s not even a good Photoshop job! Look at how crooked the bottom of the door looks in the second picture. Ridiculous. She doesn’t even look like a real person in those pictures.
The second photo just looks totally weird.
And she looks at least 30 pounds heavier in her “real” pictures.
Sometimes these celebrites personally request the pictures are edited even more,as they do get to see them before they’re run off.. who knows.
I never realised Hill had gotten so much bigger, though. The last time i remember seeing her was in her music video “with love” – she still looked curvy but not to this extent. She looks a little overweight to me.
They always airbrush their bodies…why can’t they touch up the ROOTS? Ugh.
Well, sure doesn’t make me wanna buy their ridiculously over-priced jeans anyway. Not that they’d look good on me since I’m much bigger than the real Hilary duff, let alone the fake one. This is one reason I don’t buy magazines and more, Vogue being the worse of them that I’ve seen. The companies are not gonna get the idea until the consumers stop buying. So if you really care – boycott by not buying. Money is power. Just saying.
