Kate Winslet overly airbrushed on Vogue cover

Kate Winslet on the cover of Vogue, and on the red carpet last night.

Kate Winslet has appeared on the cover of USVoguelooking even more flawless than usual thanks to some heavy-handed airbrushing.

The fashion bible has been accused of overly-Photoshopping Kate’s famous face, erasing her laugh lines and blemishes and even getting rid of her trademark mole.

The 38-year-old mother-to-be’s blue eyes also appear unnaturally brightened, while her cheekbones and jaw are much more sculpted than they appear in real life.

In pictures: Photoshop of horrors – the latest airbrushing fail

Kate is an outspoken opponent of airbrushing. She was furious whenGQmagazine heavily retouched an image of her in 2003, publicly lashing out at the title’s unrealistic standards of beauty.

“The retouching is excessive,” she said at the time. “I do not look like that and more importantly, I don’t desire to look like that.

“I actually have a Polaroid that the photographer gave me on the day of the shoot … I can tell you they’ve reduced the size of my legs by about a third. For my money it looks pretty good the way it was taken.”
