Usually known for her outstanding voice and heartbreaking hits, Adele is now in the spotlight for something other than her voice: her body.

Adele is on the cover of this month’s Vogue, and the pictures show a much thinner version of herself. The singer’s face and waist look thinner, and her bust looks much larger.

She was noticeably thinner at this year’s Grammy Awards, but not as thin as the Vogue cover depicts.

Adele has never been one to care about her weight. In People Magazine, Adele said, “I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women, and I’m very proud of that.”

Many of her fans are outraged by Vogue’s use of photo editing software and airbrushing to alter the singer’s appearance.

“I do think it’s wrong when editors make the person they are Photoshopping look like a completely different person,” said Katy Jordan, a pre-dental hygiene sophomore from Natchitoches.

So why do girls have to be thin to be considered pretty?  Jordan said photoshopping “…gives society a false outlook on the way they should be trying to look.”

Magazine covers are photoshopped all of the time. That’s nothing new, but taking a woman who’s not your typical model size and Photoshopping her to look skinnier is ridiculous.

Adele is a very beautiful woman no matter what size she is, and that’s the kind of message Vogue should be sending to young girls.

“I think that everyone should be comfortable in his or her own skin, unfortunately our culture makes us all feel like we have to compete to look flawless,” Jordan said.
