Elle has quickly issued a statement denying they lightened up Gabourey Sidibe‘s skin on the October cover.
The statement read:
“We have four separate covers this month and Gabby’s cover was not retouched any more or less than the others. We had 25 cover-worthy subjects in our portfolio and we chose Gabby because of who she is. We shot this as a story of exuberant young women changing the world. If you take a look at the portfolio, each of the women were shot in different ways and for different reasons.”
And there you have it.
