People Are Angry Vogue’s Cover Isn’t Fat Or Black Enough

People Are Angry Vogue’s Cover Isn’t Fat Or Black Enough

(Katie Frates, The Daily Caller News Foundation) – People are furious that Vogue’s newest cover doesn’t include models who are fat enough or black enough.

The March edition features seven women of various ethnicities standing on a beach.

With our March issue, Vogue celebrates modern American women. Click the link in our bio to read the full cover story. Photographed by @inezandvinoodh, styled by @tonnegood. #Vogue125

A photo posted by Vogue (@voguemagazine) on Feb 8, 2017 at 8:47am PST

Readers were quick to point out that the cover can’t possibly celebrate “modern American women” because the models are far too skinny and far too white.

“This photo is so sad,” one user commented on Instagram. Others were more blunt in their criticism: “Still strong in the body shaming game! LIAR. If there ever will be a “revolution” in beauty vogue would be broke :D,” “Didn’t know revolutionaries could only be 5″11 and above with the acceptable level of melanin in their skin. So, so disappointing yet expected,” and “F*** you Vogue!”

@voguemagazine The cover should’ve been more inclusive w/variety of skin tones,sizes,heights & ages,as well as more diversity every month😒

@voguemagazine What does “redefining beauty” mean when you have some of the most overused, most conventional-looking models on your cover?

@voguemagazine a bunch of lightskin slim women, nothing new here.

Ashley Graham, the singular plus-sized model in the photo, said she “chose to pose” with her hand on her leg. “No one told me to do anything,” she said, according to CNN.

Critics allege Vogue photoshopped Gigi Hadid’s hand to cover Graham’s stomach, and also made Imaan Hammam’s arm longer.

@BibaGirrrl @voguemagazine Hadid’s fingers are like 10 inches long in that photo. #facepalm Vogue edit too far again.

@voguemagazine what happened to Gigi’s long arm and hand, odd

They may have a point about Vogue’s poor attempt at diversity, too. Forty percent of U.S. women are now obese, according to Time Magazine. While obesity in men has plateaued, women are getting bigger than ever. If Vogue truly wanted to capture the modern woman, approximately three of the seven models should be obese.
