8 celebrities who spoke out against Photoshop in 2015

Serena Williams

Tennis superstar Serena Williams showed off her powerful body in its natural state in a photo shot by Annie Leibovitz for the annual Pirelli Calendar.

Amy Schumer

Schumer also posed for this year’s edition, and shared the photo on Instagram with the caption, “Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you Annie Leibovitz!”

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato posed for an unretouched nude photoshoot in Vanity Fair. 

“A lot of times I get frustrated because people will, without my consent, Photoshop my body and it doesn’t look like my own body,” Lovato said. “Like, no no no, my thighs are bigger than that, can you put them back to the way they were? I’ve literally done that before where I’m like, ‘No, put my legs back on me. Those aren’t my legs.”

Kate Winslet

“I think they do look to magazines,” Winslet said. “I think they do look to women who have been successful in their chosen careers and they want people to look up to, and I would always want to be telling the truth about who I am to that generation because they’ve got to have strong leaders. We’re all responsible for raising strong young women, so these are things that are important to me.”

Chrissy Teigen

“I think it’s extra important right now to show a woman not wholly retouched,” she said. “It’s becoming the norm for people to have this butt that’s been plucked and pulled, and these boobs from somewhere else,” she told Mashable. “It’s not normal. I think it’s our responsibility as women to show our flaws and how we’re far from perfect.”

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid shared what her shots from a swimwear campaign looked like straight from the camera.

Zendaya

“Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated,” Zendaya 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.”

Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts starred in a Photoshop-free campaign for Aerie.

“To me, the most beautiful people are the people who embrace their ‘flaws,’ people who just own what they have.“Demi Lovato posed for an unretouched nude photoshoot in Vanity Fair.
