Steven Klein's photoshopper goes overboard with Gwyneth Paltrow in the new Vogue. Not only does her head look detached, she gets a Stepford Wives makeover.
Go Fug Yourself has a poll on how awful it is, while Stylefrizz weighs in on the heavy-handedness. Thanks to Andrew and Jill for sending this one.

She looks absolutly made of plastic
Bad cover , bad
the cover is appropriate: "when good work goes bad"
I guess Wonder Woman cuffs are hot now...
she looks more like keri russell then herself. weird.
This looks almost as unrealistic as Tina Fey on the cover of Marie Claire:

The cover is epic fail and I can't believe anyone at Stevens studio thought it would go unnoticed. Sigh, Vogue always has some of the worst/stiffest looking faces on it. Which is sad because Allure magazine is based around that and still isn't as awful.
is no one above the air brush!? geez, I wouldn't have even recognized her!
Better photos of Gwyneth on other Vogue covers:

This one shows an unrecognizable Gwyneth.
Wow... I saw that Vogue cover today, and I didn't even realize it was supposed to be Paltrow.
Egads...
Maybe she's supposed to look like a Barbie doll? Probably not, though.
I was wondering if it might possibly be intentional, because she is resting her arm on a robot's head.
Maybe she's actually supposed to be an alien. Maybe that's in this season.
Skeletor!!!!
Finally, Iron Man on the cover of Vogue! Maybe they can trade off and Giselle Bündchen can be on the cover of next month's Wizard.
Please fix your RSS feed so that photos come through!!
I thought it was Juliette from LOST.
I also thought it was the woman from Lost.
Isn't the woman of Lost
Look the name at the cover
I'm sorry, but this time it looks like a good work.
You took a photo reference with Gwineth with any makeup, dressed in a way that she looks fatter and uglyer.
In the Vogue cover she has been represented at her best, with makeup, with a nice dress, with part of the body well shown.
Maybe they were brushing the skin a little, but this happens in almost any cover photo.
It's not only airbrush, look at her eyes ! they're bigger, more open, and eyebrows are totally different.
What? Celine Dion looks even more natural than usual here.
HAHAH! this is __THE VOUGE__ , oh you little n00bs I eat u for breakfast!
she looks like Celine Dion.....
maybe this is actually a photo of the tie-in action figure for "iron man"? they never look anything like the actor either.
I agree, she totally looks like Juliette from Lost on this picture.
I expect this sort of thing from low end magazines, but really... Vogue? Who let that through? If i was to look at this cover, i'd have no idea who it was.
Tag line should've been "when bad photoshop is mistaken for good".
What really bothers me is that her face is obviously pasted in, but it's in such a weird, liiiiitle bit different perspective that makes her look like the alien from "The Abbyss".
It does mention "medical mistakes"...
ZOINKS!!!
Last month's vogue cover (Gisele and LeBron) was even worse a photoshop disaster - so many things wrong, such as the bad recolouring and changing of neckline on her dress, to the way she was pasted in over LeBron's hand... American Vogue covers have been so bad recently.
OK, just saw the post above mine and realized that last month's disaster was Gisele and LeBron, and it was the month before with the Drew Barrymore atrocity... Vogue seriously needs to fire their Photoshop folks.
It doesn't even look like her.
I just visited
http://www.style.com/vogue/
and they heavily use this image on the website, too. I didn't notice the wrongness all that much until I saw it really LARGE, DETACHED and STARING IN YOUR FACE.
Ha ha that is so awful!
What a rip off....she doesn't juggle. Who cares about the rest?
WHEN I SAW THIS COVER I SAID SOMEHTING WAS WRONG THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THAT I AM NOT CRAZY
Doesn't she look like a blonde Celine Dion? Scary!
There was a similarly weird looking photo in Esquire, so I did some research and found some untouched paparazzi photos, and it turns out that Gwyneth Paltrow does actually have a freakishly long neck. Note that in the photo to the left, she's wearing a scarf.
The plastic complexion, on the other hand, that's all Photoshop.
is there a box insider that deleted my comment about how this is just another reason why box studios is not worth the huge amounts they charge?
