'W Magazine' Gets Stung Over Possible Beyoncé Photoshop

W Magazine just learned that the Beyhive isn’t a forgiving swarm.

The fashion magazine posted an Instagram Monday of Beyoncé from a 2011 shoot by Patrick Demarchelier, as a way of commemorating her recent visual album release, Lemonade.

But Bey’s fans quickly criticized the magazine for the image, questioning if Beyoncé’s legs had been Photoshopped to show a “thigh gap” — surprising to see on the singer who has been noted for her curves.

Other fans though noted that in 2011, Beyoncé had yet to be pregnant with daughter Blue Ivy and had a slimmer physique than present-day Bey. You know, like what happens when a woman has a child.

These side by side images of Beyoncé, the first taken from a show in 2011 does show the star with a figure similar to the one shown in W Magazine. The second is from this year’s Super Bowl.

The controversy comes at a time when many celebrities like Lena Dunham and Kerry Washington are speaking out against Photoshop, and many fans are condemning fashion outlets for continuing to alter images that portray unrealistic body standards.

The magazine has yet to comment on the controversy.
