Skinny VS Curvy

Left: Miranda’s “plastic surgery” in Photoshop, where her bust magically goes from A cup (or small B) to a plump C.

Right: Miranda’s actual bust.

Question: WHY? Why do you guys do this? Let your clients see how your bras look on  smaller busts too (or your bras are not for them?!), you’ve got enough busty models working your bikinis and lingerie anyway.

See more of Miranda’s digital breast implants for Victoria’s Secret after the jump!

P.S.: They do the same with Marisa Miller’s bust – see the comparison here!

Here we go again – take stunning Keira Knightley, undress her till… almost topless, then transform her A-cup bust into a nice, yet fake B cup, then place her on the newest Chanel ad. The Daily Mail has the details:

Brushed up nicely: Keira Knightley in the new Chanel advert appears to have a digitally-enhanced bust. And she is certainly looking particularly buxom bearing in mind she has bemoaned her lack of curves in the past. Stripped to the waist her chest is covered only by a pair of braces, with her bust looking noticeably fuller that usual.

Airbrushing expert Chris Bickmore said Miss Knightley’s skin had been smoothed and her chest enlarged.

‘Her face has definitely been retouched, there are no lines or wrinkles at all,’ he said. ’The whites in her eyes have been made a cleaner white and there are no lines on her neck, body or even the back of her hand where there would definitely be some detail. ‘Her breast has had some shading added to it to give it the effect of being rounder and more pert and it has also been increased in size slightly.’

Yesterday Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, who has been campaigning against excessive airbrushing in advertisements along with fellow MP Jo Swinson said advertisers should point out where images have been altered. She said:

‘Keira is a beautiful woman and that’s the point. ’If the image has been airbrushed then people need to know so they don’t try and achieve what is totally unrealistic. ’Young girls especially will try and aspire to things which often they can’t achieve and which will leave them feeling bad about themselves. ’Where an image has been altered and retouched, we are simply saying there needs to be a symbol showing what has been done and where.’

The actress attracted controversy in 2004 when she revealed that the publicity posters for her film King Arthur had been digitally altered. While the British posters displayed her natural boyish look, the American ones showed her with a clearly inflated chest.

‘Those things certainly weren’t mine,’ she told a U.S. magazine at the time (see picture below). ’We had an interesting discussion when they said, “We want to make them slightly larger and you’ll get approval’ and I was like, “OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a s***”. ‘She then admitted in 2006: ‘I don’t have any t***,so I can’t show cleavage.’

It’s not just Knightley’s small bust which has attracted attention.

Last year the actress’s mother Sharman Macdonald denied that her daughter had an eating disorder, saying she has simply inherited her naturally skinny physique from her father, 63-year-old actor Will Knightley. She said her daughter has never had to diet but instead followed a special eating plan – high in protein and carbohydrates – to keep weight on. Miss Macdonald, 58, claimed the actress must ‘eat like a horse’ to keep herself at a healthy weight. Last night a spokesman for Chanel refused to say whether or not the star’s figure had been digitally altered saying: ‘We have no comment.’

Real Keira VS Photoshopped Keira *check out the bust* for King Arthur in the U.S.:

This makes me pretty angry and I will never-ever understand it.

“I have small boobs,” she told Life & Style as she arrived at the Super Saturday shopping event in Water Mill, N.Y., on Aug. 1. “When I shop, I basically hold the clothes up, put the hanger over my head and go, ‘It kinda looks like it’ll fit.’” But “kinda” is the key word. “If the price is right,” Kelly continued, “I’ll take it and have it altered, because I normally have to have the bust taken out of everything.”

In fact, the Live With Regis and Kelly co-host has learned to accept having to take an extra step to make her clothes fall perfectly on her 5-foot-3 frame. While Kelly, 38, has said she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with plastic surgery, going under the knife to up her A-cup isn’t something she’ll consider as she gets older. “I would never have a boob job,” Kelly told Life & Style’s reporter at the shopping event. “I am too wimpy. Are you kidding? I am such a wimp!”

“I like to say I’m a 32A long,” Kelly, who swears by Victoria’s Secret bras, tells Life & Style. “I’ve added the long because I’ve nursed three kids.” But Kelly, who has the constant encouragement of her hubby, actor Mark Consuelos, is completely comfortable with herself. “I feel really happy as I am now and with what I’ve got,” she said. Gesturing to Mark, she added, “He’s happy, so he doesn’t care about that.”

… and the title refers to her weight. I know, this is the 759th time Kate is talking about her figure – this time it’s in Harper’s Bazaar.

Here are some parts you might find interesting:

Kate hasn’t really gone all shy and retiring on the red carpet. After years of wearing long, she’s more recently taken a short cut — sporting, among others, a curve-loving Hervé Léger and a racy Balmain number. (She’s still legging it today, perched on the couch in a gold Calypso minidress.) “I danced a lot when I was younger, and I’ve always had decent, shapely legs and thought it’s now or never,” she says. “I mean, when you’re pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that’s midthigh length? So I thought, Oh, f-ck it, I’m just going to do it.”

And so began the thousandth round of Kate Winslet body speculation. “I’ve heard, ‘Oh, she’s toned and she’s lost weight,’ but I am exactly the same as I’ve always been. The one thing that had to go during awards season was exercise. People would say to me, ‘Oh, come on …’ like I was lying about it!” The topic clearly fatigues her. “Some may find it hard to believe it, but I don’t care about that stuff.”

But Oprah Winfrey does, as she proclaimed gloriously to the world when Kate was on her show promoting The Reader — in which her character, former Nazi guard Hanna Schmitz, is often naked — “God bless your real breasts!” Kate shrugs and says, “I’m used to people openly discussing my t-ts. If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that’s great.” But, like her legs, the boobs have a shelf life. “I’ll be 34 in October. I can’t keep getting away with it. There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back.”

Sure, Kate has an Oscar, a lauded husband, and two fetching children (Mia, 8, and Joe, 5), but she’s not Gisele. She’s one of us … ish. “Part of the reason Lancôme asked me [to represent the brand] was because I come across as a woman other women can identify with. The media plays such a big role in how women measure themselves against other women, so I can be in a position where I can say beauty comes from within, we’re not all perfect, and the covers of magazines are of course retouched. We do not look like that.” She points to her forehead. “I have wrinkles here, which are very evident, and I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, ‘You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?’ I’d rather be the woman they’re saying ‘She’s looking older’ about than ‘She’s looking stoned.’”

Here’s British beauty Danielle Lloyd in a long black dress, a dress that shows off her upper curves.

What do you say? Is Danielle showing off a little too much or is this one perfectly hot & nice cleavage that needs to be revealed?

Check out Danielle’s complete look (plus one more) after the jump and tell us what you think!
