Gaboure Sidibe’s controversial ELLE cover is gaining steam. Gabby has very dark skin, yet on the cover of the fashion magazine, it is suspiciously…lighter. Was it a trick of the lighting or a photoshop job gone wrong again? (Elle cover photo below)
More pictures of Gabby after the snap…
People are saying it’s a race issue – again – and that her skin was lightened on purpose. What does ELLE say?
Speculation has been running rampant on the Web that the folks behind the new Elle cover featuring the Oscar-nominated Precious star purposely lightened her skin.
For its 25th anniversary issue, the magazine created four covers, each one focusing on four different young stars. In addition to Gabourey, the others spotlighted are Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried and Lauren Conrad.
While the other three all appear in full-length poses, the photo of Gabourey has been cropped at mid-chest level, and thus, not showing her full-figured frame.
Oooooh, the controversy never stops! ELLE says all the models were treated the same and that Gabby’s skin was not lightened on purpose. Do you think it was lightened?
