Huge fan of Kate Winslet here. Seen every one of her movies — even sat through The Holiday because she’s so sparkly and wonderful. I love that she takes on risky roles and has been outspoken about the unfair pressure that actresses are under to be ultra thin.
Even Halle Berry is on board, recently praising Kate’s total body liberation:
“Kate Winslet is always naked, sitting on a toilet, running buck-naked. She’s free. I want to be the kind of actress who can really be comfortable with my body like that.”
I mean, when Halle Freaking Berry says you look great naked, that’s the compliment to end all compliments. You never again have to question whether your butt is too big.
And that’s why it’s so disappointing that now she’s all “Photoshopping? What photoshopping?” when it comes to her oddly perfected photo spread in Vanity Fair.
Yeah right, told a retouching expert to the Daily Mail.
Professional airbrush artist Chris Bickmore believes it has been doctored wholesale. Here he outlines the areas that he thinks have been upgraded.
The face: ‘There is no real detail in her face. Any detail or wrinkles have been removed. There are no eye bags, contours and smile lines.
‘The whites of her eyes have been cleaned up and are now a really clean, crisp white. I’d say her lips have possibly been made slightly fuller as well.’
The skin: ‘Her skin has generally been retouched all over so she has no lines or blemishes at all. Her skin is completely perfect.’
The hands and feet: ‘There are no wrinkles or lines or veins on her hands and feet and this just is not natural.’
The figure: ‘Her back and lower body have been pinched in to make her look thinner and to give her some curves.
‘Her bottom has been rounded off so it looks nice and pert. I would be very surprised if her bottom was like that naturally. Her thigh appears to have been made slimmer so it appears more toned.
‘And in the shot of her sitting down on the front cover, it’s possible her legs were made slightly thinner so they also appear more toned.’
Come on, Kate. Don’t fail us now.

Yeah, I expected the whole ass!
She is pretty but she does not look like that in real life. She is not that thin.
Kate Winslett, as far as I’ve been able to discern, is actually attractive.
Pity they still felt a need to shoop her.
She has a lot to live up to. This photo shoot is supposed to be like Catherine Deneuve in Belle du Jour. Since Catherine is a goddess and was that luminescent without retouching, the bar was super high. That said, yeah, I am disappointed that she has given in after a long opposition to that kind of photo retouching.
Now I want to see Belle du Jour again.
Good lord … the PETArds are after her now for the fur throw she’s lying on, too …

Does anyone believe she thought it was fake fur while she was lying naked on it?
Then again, maybe she’s smarter than all of us for doing what she wanted and then feeding the chicken-lovers whatever line they wanted to hear.
Let’s all start doing that!
I’ll go first. That chicken grease on my chin? It’s just canola oil. Really.
it’s funny, I dont recognize her… I really REALLY don’t see Kate there…
All she has to say is “no” when they ask her to let her images be photoshopped.
The above picture she is lying on **FUR**. Better ring petA but, I suppose it’s ok because it was a gift..
I’ve always rooted for Kate Winslet. She seems to genuinely want to send a positive message to girls.
So maybe it was shopped and maybe I’m slightly disappointed, but it doesn’t really change my opinion of her. I just hope she’s not like those girls who were cool when they were big and turned into bitches when they got thin. She’s on the celebrities-who-don’t-piss-me-off list.
she looks great and she is very pretty.. but i highly doubt she looks like that in real life now. i remember as a kid when titanic was coming out, people said she looked “fat” in the movie and i was so shocked because she had a great body in it lol
This disapoints me, because I love Kate Winslet. She’s beautiful and I find it disturbing that people photoshopped her in the first place.
These pictures do not resemble her at all. I am going to tread lightly on this one, though. I’m sure that she doesn’t have absolute control over how much an image gets photoshopped and otherwise altered, and she has always been pretty consistent and outspoken against the ultra skinny stereotype. But, Kate, I’m watching you now.
Also, I want to point out-
She’s nude, but it’s not tacky or pornographic. I find them very tastefully done. Props.
I don’t see how she could really have a say in retouching or not. She’s just celebrity puppet after all.
In this shot they made her face look like Lindsay Lohan’s. :-p
Don’t blame Kate, blame Vogue
Naah … Don’t blame Kate or Vogue.
Blame the tards at PETA who made it necessary for Vogue to lie to Kate about it in the first place, and for Kate to pretend she was offended in the second place.
Kate can do whatever she wants and we will still love her.
I don’t care about Peta or any other ****es. What’s the difference between fur and leather? They all have 4 legs. The celebrities who get off on that are usually has-beens looking for a reason to get their face in the paper — calls like Alicia Silverstone’s pimpy manager makes.
1. Kate looks awesome even when she’s not retouched at all, 2. She rocks in every movie and she’s a nice person too, 3. I don’t think the art direction is her call, not that she cares, 4. I like the pictures, art gets reworked all the time, its art, Sillies!
We love you Kate.
Hey morons, she was lied to by Vanity Fair, it was supposed to be fake fur and it wasn’t but they didn’t tell her till after the fact. So stick up your self-righteous *sses.
give her the benefit of the doubt. everyone likes a ‘fantasy glamour shot’ now and then, right?
I’m with Queen Bee – if she’s supposed to look like Catherine Deneuve, that’s a tall order for anyone, even someone as pretty as Kate Winslet. And these days, what major magazine photo shoot *isn’t* fully photoshopped? At least she doesn’t look like a female android…
@Babygothgyrl – wow…..
And you got this information from the people who setup the shoot or from an article you read somewhere else?
Not doubting you but questioning where your information comes from is always a good strategy in life. My guess is she did’t bother to ask what the fur was made out of and just did the shoot.
Winslet should’ve told PETA, “They’re real and they’re spectacular!”
The furs, I mean…
Oh…it was Vanity Fair? Not Vogue? Oh well, they both begin with a “V” and are 80% advertisements
Hey now! I read Vanity Fair for the articles. Yes, the articles. I look through Playboy for the fake tits.
Likely story Queen Bee.
My roommate *claimed* she read the articles, but I walked in on her touching herself while looking at an ad with a photo of a Fendi handbag.
