Yesterday New York Magazine's fashion blog posted Demi Moore's cover of W Magazine December. In the cover photo Demi wore the stunning gold cutout dress from Balmain's S/S 2010 collection. Simply posting the cover New York Magazine had no idea the controversy that would erupt. Immediately comments began pouring in that either another photoshop butchering had been committed or that it was not, in fact, Demi's body in the photo. Demi is famous for staying in incredible athletic shape despite her ever advancing age. Yet, model thin she is not. Upon further studying commenters on the post began to notice striking similarity between the model, Anja Rubik's collarbone, shoulders, arms, and thighs and the body in Demi's photo. Commenters suggested that if Demi were standing at a complete still as she is in the photo why would the tendons in her neck be so stretched?
Finally The Wish List itself commented that magazines shoot their cover photos far in advance of actually going to print and Balmain only showed this dress 1 month ago. For it to have been used in the cover photo an exact copy would have had to be made specifically for this shoot before being showed at Paris Fashion Week.
Here are recent photos of Demi at an awards show in an equally form fitting dress. You be the judge.
oh, my... thanks for sharing this; v fascinating.
