The Gemma Ward Photoshopped Picture

October 16th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Photoshopped Celebs, Supermodels.

OK, after countless comments about this, I figured I would clear the air. Apparently this photo:

Gemma Ward

… that I got from another blog, was photoshopped. Sorry for the confusion - I had no idea!

In real life, Gemma hasn’t gained nearly that much weight. Here are photos from the Style.com website… (which may or may not be photoshopped themselves):

It seems as though her arms and legs are a lot thinner than the Photoshopped picture!

    Yeah it looks like it was, they just like made her legs lumpy and expanded them. She looks well in the other pictures.

  2. Ellie | 16/10/07

    Eh, it doesn’t look like it was THAT photoshopped. There are little things that were changed, like the lumpiness on the sides of her legs and making them look a little wider, but that’s about it. *shrug* I don’t think the first picture is bad anyway.

  3. lk | 16/10/07

    I was reading on another site Britney listed on her Drivers licence a height and weight of 5′5, 125 pounds.

  4. anelej | 16/10/07

    yes, i also think it wasnt THAT photoshopped.

  5. poops | 16/10/07

    I can sleep better now.

  6. skng | 16/10/07

    I dont find her attractive at all she looked better skinny her head is too small for her body

  7. Jodi | 16/10/07

    EIther way, she’s no great shakes. Her face in particular — she looks like she would have absolutely nothing interesting to say. Feh.

  8. Ally | 16/10/07

    Much better! She has definately gained weight but she looks healthy and toned in the real pictures.

  9. gina | 16/10/07

    lol i think it’s funny that we thought it was real.

  10. mamalisa | 16/10/07

    sometimes I really don’t understand why some women/girls are supermodels. I just dont get the criteria. Personally, I don’t think this girl is that attractive…am I wrong? I just don’t get it!!

  11. Joelle | 16/10/07

    Actually, I don’t think she’s toned. She’s wearing 5″ wedges, and her legs don’t show definition. The rest of her body is in a similar condition.

    Naturally, she has a small head. She’s not a big-headed model like Christy Brinkley and Cindy Crawford.

    Overall, I think she looks okay.

  12. ashley | 16/10/07

    it was so obvious that it was photoshopped…like lagerfeld would let her on the runway looking like that

  13. Crystal | 16/10/07

    Does anyone know what her ethnicity is?

  14. Valeria | 16/10/07

    Alien… :O

  15. cossey | 16/10/07

    Alien face!!

  16. skng | 16/10/07

    so if she has such a small head like the guy off Men in Black then she should be thinner to balance the orange placed atop her neck

  17. Mouse | 16/10/07

    How mean that they photo shopped in cellulite.

    She seems to have short legs for a model. I agree, not a pretty face, but I bet she takes some amazing high fashion photos with those haunting eyes.

  18. beautyqueen18 | 16/10/07

    Much better body! I figured that the photo-shopped pic was too bad to be real. Gemma looks really really nice and thin! Now that you have all mentioned it, she does have a really tiny head. It just looks strange, it’s freaking me out!

  19. Asuka | 16/10/07

    She’s probably Anglo, seeing as how she’s Australian. Of course there’s always a chance that this is not the case,

    The controversial picture is hardly a total departure from the real ones. She looks great and her exotic features remain the same. I hope Le Karl will continue on his efforts to book slim, but healthier models.

  20. cookie | 16/10/07

    Can I be really boring and suggest that the truth probably lies sometwhere between the original photos and the ones that were posted today - it’s not exactly unknown for fashion magazines to zhuzh up a mediocre picture!

  21. Lisa | 16/10/07

    I still don’t think it’s photoshopped. It was just taken at a weird angle, imo.

  22. Carnap | 16/10/07

    Interesting suggestion that “she looks like” she wouldn’t have anything interesting to say? What, exactly, makes a person “look” like she has something to say? Is modelling conducive to looking like one has something to say?

    She’s considered an important model precisely because her face is so out of the ordinary and alien-esque. She’s “ethereal not earthy,” according to the creative director of Allure magazine). In the world of high fashion, standard paradigms of attractiveness (e.g., Jessica Simpson) are typically dismissed as “boring.”

  23. Adrienne | 16/10/07

    I was thinking that her face looks like an alien too!!! It looked better when she was thinner. I think her body looks good though. I was wondering about the photoshopped one. It seemed odd that any designer would let her walk the runway with lumpy legs exposed.

  24. Supermodel_thin | 16/10/07

    I think she has gained a little in the hips area but not a lot.
    Either it was photoshopped or might be becausethe photo was taken up close and it makes everyone look bigger AND if taken from a distance, you do look thinner.

  25. Supermodel_thin | 16/10/07

    Models are meant to look different and not pretty in an obvious way. Fashion changes all the time.. and what they look for is someone who does not look common/normal but different looking .. strong cheek bones, big eyes, large forehead.. (although for catwalk, they pretty much take on tall girls and pretty/non pretty.. but height is the main things I think!

  26. star***55 | 16/10/07

    but she has obviously gained weight

  27. Jamie | 16/10/07

    I think she did gain a bit of weight, and, i hate to say it, I think she looked better skinny

  28. Anna. | 16/10/07

    Ha! I knew it was a fake! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. xP

  29. kara | 16/10/07

    Thank You Rian for posting this new post. I was ‘upset’ last week when you posted the first picture.

  30. SupermodelSuzie | 16/10/07

    She looks the same in all three pics!

  31. Ana | 16/10/07

    *pfff* thank god!!! :D

  32. Susan | 16/10/07

    I never thought for a second that it was a real picture of her. She never would have made it to the catwalk looking like that.

  33. shady | 16/10/07

    its not all that photoshopped

  34. blabla | 16/10/07

    she looks pretty much the same

  35. kelly lee | 16/10/07

    MUCH BETTER! Just enough extra meat to loook sexy and still like a model!

  36. Anonymous1 | 16/10/07

    THANK GOD. She has gained some weight, but she doesn’t look as gross as that photoshopped picture. I mean, come on, those were some LUMPY legs. Phew.

  37. Anonymous1 | 16/10/07

    She could still use a few trips to the gym, though. DEFINITION!

  38. Tara | 16/10/07

    Still she isn’t as thin as she used to be. But maybe supermodels should all look like this. Healthy, probably a bmi of 18-19.

  39. Spectra | 16/10/07

    She looks a tad slimmer in the other pics, but the first one wasn’t terrible. I think she’s weird-looking too, but I think a lot of designers LIKE models that are weird looking. It makes the clothes stand out more or something. I’ve heard that models are supposed to have a “unique” feature or features; they aren’t supposed to be “pretty” like your average person.

  40. Melissa.Marissa | 16/10/07

    DAMMIT that pic made me feel good about my thighs for once.

  41. Maxx05 | 16/10/07

    Gemma could definitely still use some trips to the gym to tighten her body up, but this is much better than the photoshopped picture. That was atrocious. That could not have gone down a catwalk unless the designer was drugged. Being a good model isn’t necessarily about having a spectacular face. If you know how to show off the clothes well, and you are professional, a dream to work with, and are reliable to show up on time ready to work, that counts for almost everything, as well as having a clothes friendly body.

  42. courtney | 16/10/07

    IT WAS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. style.com did the photoshopping just like they do with almost everything else!
    I’ve seen the HD photos from this and believe me, it is not photoshopped!

  43. courtney | 16/10/07

    the ones with the racket look just like the top one, except when she’s posing with her hip out, that tens to lengthen and slim the hips.

  44. lambman | 16/10/07

    well pic 1 was clearly altered….but pic 2 looks wrong to me…her head looks so tiny…compare that to pic 4 or the one in my link

  45. Denise | 16/10/07

    She doesn’t look much different in the “un-photoshopped” pics to me.

  46. Jodi | 16/10/07

    What i mean, Carnap, is that the expression on her face is so devoid of life or character that it doesn’t appear that she would be capable of saying anything other than “Blee blee bloooooooo! Yay!” Compare this with the Victoria’s Secret models, who at least look like they are thinking “teasing” kinds of thoughts. This one? Vapid as overboiled asparagus. This, of course, is “IMHO”, as those who enjoy chat-style abbreviation say.

  47. Miranda | 16/10/07

    doesn’t look that photoshopped to me.

  48. Oksana | 16/10/07

    she gained the weight anyway

  49. Elle | 16/10/07

    I think the first picture def looks photoshopped but not that much. Gemma looks healthy in the other pictures, not lumpy.

  50. Erica | 16/10/07

    It’s nice to see a girl modelling who’s thin, but not emaciated.

  51. Ashley | 16/10/07

    I bet she looks better than all of you have ever dreamed to look, she is BEAUITFUL, and she does NOT look FAT, id really love to see how you all look next to her!!

  52. rolanda | 16/10/07

    she has gained weight. she doesn’t look fat, by any means, but the problem lies that most major models are “discovered” when they are just young girls (16, 17, 18).if you look at high school girls, most of them are very skinny. it’s just the age. now, gemma is now in her early twenties, so she’s filled out. she’s no longer the gawky teenager that she was when she first arrived on the fashion scene. i think it’s important to look at the fact that she is still getting contracts. major contracts. so, kudos to her for being comfortable with her body and kudos for all the houses that continue to hire her.

  53. healthyisbeautiful | 16/10/07

    I think it’s also the angles they were shot at. I mean, honestly, angles can change everything (I know Tyra Banks is always talking about this, and it’s true!) Regardless, she looks much healthier these days

  54. beks | 17/10/07

    looks a bit photoshopped, not much =/

  55. kasia | 17/10/07

    I was at that chanel show and she did look noticeably bigger. I sat there thinking how refreshing it is to see a girl like her that instead of just bones.
    I hope she dosnt fall into the pressure and start dieting.

  56. Cara | 17/10/07

    Cannot understand why she is a supermodel.

  57. breads | 17/10/07

    she is UGLY
    but still has a fab body, better than others who look like they are dying

  58. ny | 17/10/07

    I just worked with her recently. She is not at all fat. Far from FAT. Although, compared to other scary skinny top model, she has a little “meat” on her bones. But she is one beautiful and gorgeous woman who is both stunning in real life and in photos, too.

  59. georgie | 17/10/07

    i can’t see a difference.

  60. Charli | 17/10/07

    The first picy is weird just weird, but anyways she looked much nicer slimmer.

  61. ladyinblack | 17/10/07

    THERE IS NO PHOTOSHOP in the pic. i ve seen the VIDEO of the catwalk runaway, and sure she looks the same as the pic.
    check yourself on www.youtube.com on the desfile pour chanel summer 08.
    if she put more weight on, she will be as beautiful as allways.

  62. Sophie | 17/10/07

    Ashley, u r so right about Lagerfeld.

    I think she gained some weight for a movie role but she still looks very slim (except for in the photoshopped pic).

    I also think she looks like an alien but she is quite gorgeous when she smiles.

  63. jules | 17/10/07

    sooo ugly
    everytime i see her i just cant believe it.
    eugh

  64. Lindsay | 17/10/07

    she’s got a retarded walk for an effin model man, she walks like she’s knocked-kneed

  65. FW | 17/10/07

    whew what a relief - she looked so strange in the first pic - very unmodel - the later pics she looks really good - her body looks just right for the runway i think - not too thin and not weird

  66. fifi | 17/10/07

    It could be the angle of the photo. If you take from certain angles you can slimmer/wider.Frontal photo like the 1st mite make some1 look chunkier. If it is photoshopped,its not by much. She does look good in the other photos tho’.Not emaciated like alot of models

  67. ccc | 17/10/07

    thank you for FINALLY posting the real picture! it’s grossly photoshopped!!! those who’s saying it’s not are insane.

  68. Rina | 18/10/07

    Well that’s sort of good.
    She still looks awful though, just less awful than the fake picture…

  69. narcissa | 18/10/07

    i’m in the “not much difference” between “real” and “photoshopped” camp. Maybe I just don’t have a very discriminating eye O_o

  70. takehold | 18/10/07

    haha a big difference!

    She is still not as stick thin as when she was younger, but not THAT big :P

  71. Sami | 20/10/07

    Thank God!

    I freaked out when I saw the picture photoshopped picture because she is one of my favourite models.

    She’s obviously still put on a few pounds, but she looks //toned//, not fat, and can carry her weight if she happens to put on a few extra pounds.

  72. chara | 20/10/07

    allthough i think the first picture was photoshopped, i’m pretty sure she has gained weight anyway. but i think that’s a good thing. she’s toned and she looks healthier than she did a couple years ago. her arms and legs aren’t too thin. there’s muscle in them. good gemma! i hope that more models would gain weight. weight gain doesn’t mean that they should be fat or something, but healthy, toned and gorgeous.

  73. sara | 2/11/07

    still for a model she isnt too skinny

  74. Ellan | 10/11/07

    Don`t you think that In the real “fat” picture she looks like one unhappy and sick girl… Stop eating, girl!

  75. Linn | 28/11/07

    I dont think its photoshopped…but ok.

  76. m | 13/01/08

    she looks like a bug.

  77. Roweterriere | 18/02/08

    Each rammed his animal friends all the development in and suppressed them there while they generated their restrictive virtues of anna kournikova nude photo up my ukuhlobonga and differently my throat.

  78. Jane | 4/04/08

    DONT JUDGE BEFORE YOU KNOW THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!
    she has gained a little bit, yeah thats true but you all dont seem to know why. SHE GOT A MOVIE ROLE!!! and thats why she needed to put on a few pounds cause otherwise she would have been too skinny..if u didnt know, supermodels are usually thinner than actors so thats logical you idiots!!!!!

  79. anon. | 25/07/08

    i thought she was thin. no
