The altered Zendaya photos that generated outrage: The full collection explains why the popstar demanded that her cover issue be pulled due to ‘unrealistic ideas of beauty’

Only a week after Zendaya ordered Los Angeles-based fashion magazine Modeliste to cancel its November issue due to heavily manipulated shots of her body, the brand has maintained its word and entirely restored the images to their natural beauty.

While Modeliste never intended to publish the manipulated images after profusely apologizing to Zendaya, the Photoshopped photos from the withdrawn issue have been anonymously provided to Daily Mail Online – and it is clear why the 19-year-old singer and actress said the unnecessary editing perpetuated ‘unrealistic ideals of beauty’.

A comparison of the raw and photoshopped shots reveals that the already tiny star’s legs and torso were substantially slimmer, while the saturation of the images appeared to have been adjusted, giving her complexion a more tanned appearance.
