Supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid are featuring in the March issue of British Vogue and it seems it’s caused some kind of weird backlash.
You see, the sisters are pictured naked in their photoshoot and some people think that’s incestuous. Well, it’s not, is it?
Others said they ‘felt uncomfortable’.

One follower said:
A little uncomfortable to see, it’s really awkward to show two sisters in this pose, don’t know, they could chose a different photograph.
Another asked: ‘What are you all promoting? Incest! And another said: ‘Would two famous brothers ever be asked to pose like this? Would you ever feel comfortable taking a picture like this with your sister?’
Then there was this:
Something about this picture makes me feel very sad! It almost looks exploitative. Such a shame. Two young girls who seemingly are supposed to ‘Have it all’ and it just looks wrong. Sorry Vogue! Major faux pas!
As the fashion industry's most in-demand sisters, we're more familiar seeing @gigihadid and @bellahadid apart than together. However, the sisters unite for the March 2018 issue of #NewVogue, on newsstands February 2. Photographed by #StevenMeisel, styled by #JoeMcKenna pic.twitter.com/kFRFDKBtDy

Not everyone was so disapproving of the photoshoot.
One wrote:
I don’t know why people hating here. When you don’t like then keep it to yourself. I like them both and it isn’t a usual photoshoot but the world is changing so please be open for new things.
Another added: ‘I think it is a beautiful picture people are so quick to criticise these days.
Gigi turned to Twitter to share how ‘honoured’ she was over the cover, and made mention of the fact it featured Bella.
Very honored to be your March cover girl @britishvogue @edward_enninful with my sissy bellahadid… https://t.co/kbAd0IAMTX

Come on now, it’s a lovely shoot and two great Vogue covers.
Gigi was on the front page of last year’s March issue of American Vogue – and there was ‘controversy’ surrounding that also.

People thought Gigi’s arm was ‘too long’. If you look closely, you can see Gigi’s arm reaches past Kendall Jenner and sits on Ashley Graham’s hip.
Either it’s the angle, or a bit of dodgy Photoshopping.
@voguemagazine and @GiGiHadid's extra long arm/hand… can we photoshop right at least once please?! There was no need btw ??♀️ pic.twitter.com/yALuAQAYAu

Which is nothing compared to the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
Now they have printed a huge photoshop fail, not only has the mag given Reese Witherspoon three legs, they’ve printed an image of Oprah Winfrey with ‘three hands’.
The 24th annual ‘Hollywood’ issue of the magazine features 12 celebrities and one journalist on its fold-out cover, with the focus being on the Time’s Up call to end sexual harassment and abuse in Hollywood.
Celebrities in the photo include Nicole Kidman, Jessica Chastain, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Michael B Jordan, Zandaya, Wonder Woman actor, Gal Gadot – and journalist Graydon Carter, who was the editor of Vanity Fair for 25 years.
The issue was going to feature actor James Franco, but he was removed from the image amid sexual harassment allegations made against him.
Plenty of people were talking about the cover but mostly pinpointing the clear photoshop problems rather than anything else.
On the cover, Reese Witherspoon appears to have three legs – and in one of the images in the magazine, Oprah is pictured with a hand on Reese’s hip, another hand on her lap, and then a third hand wrapped around Reese’s waist.

Oprah has three hands & Reese has three legs, and we are here for accepting them for who they are!! 2018 is all about LOVING OUR BODIES!!
Kendra commented:
Whoever was in charge of editing that vanity fair cover, i would just like to ask how these mistakes happen? Like making sure your cover stars have a correct number of limbs is literally your job? [Sic]
Well…I guess everybody knows now…I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. ?( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;) https://t.co/6GyrfWxNSY

Even Reese made a joke about the whole thing on Twitter.
