Demi Moore W Magazine Photoshop Controversy: “I’m Just Skinny!”
Is Demi Moore airbrushed hipless on the cover of the December issue of W? The acting vet’s appearance on the magazine’s current cover has sparked an outcry across the Interwebs for bloggers claiming the star’s slim looks are the result of extensive Photoshopping….
Demi says she’s just skinny.
“I don’t have any hips!” Demi Tweeted in response to the controversy on Thursday. “I love the pic and can only say I wish I had good lighting like that following me around all day.”
The mother of three even posted the original image, pre-edits, to drive the point home.
“My hips were not touched don’t let these people bullshit you!” she Tweeted of the cover, which critics claimed appears to have removed a chunk of her left hip. “I am [on] the skinny side lately.”
A spokesman for the mag told Jezebel.com that photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott “did not do anything unusual or out of the ordinary on Demi Moore for the photo on the cover of W. Demi is an extraordinary beautiful woman and we feel our cover reflects that.”

No. There is no photoshopping of the thigh/hip in this photo. The thigh/hip area is natural. The “dimple” is a consequence of the pose.
I found a photo of an old sculpture of a female model in the classic contrapposto pose. Although the model is much heavier, she has the dimple in her thigh/hip area. I went a step further and traced the model’s outline, much like bbonyx at BoingBoing did with the Demi photo. Then, I compared the two. See the results below:

Very similar!
If the model had been thinner, you’d even see a much closer match.
