Turns out, even supermodels like Miranda Kerr have self-esteem issues.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel was caught posting a photoshopped picture of herself from last year’s show on Instagram.
Showing her with an unnaturally narrow waist, the photo was a backstage shot of lingerie-clad Doutzen Kroes, Miranda Kerr, and Alessandra Ambrosio, captioned “sending love and best wishes to the #vsangels from Japan xxx.”

The photo shows the already-fit model with an impossibly teeny-tiny waist. “That is not her waist,” a fan pointed out.
After receiving backlash from followers who were quick to point out the photoshopping, Miranda quickly took the picture down.
She returned with this Instagram pic of the original image, along with the explanation that she just hurriedly grabbed the first photo from the Internet while busy working in Japan.
“Hi guys, here is the original VS image! When I re-posted the photo this week to support the girls I screen grabbed it off the internet when I was working in Japan. I had no idea it was photoshopped. All good intentions- sorry for the confusion and congratulations to the girls for such a great show!”
We tried looking for the site that Miranda claimed she grabbed the Photoshopped image from, but we couldn’t find it.
It also doesn’t help her case that expert Photoshop spotters have also noticed the insta-slimming alterations done on Miranda Kerr’s other Instagram photos.

What do you think? Is Miranda Kerr guilty of photoshopping her own pictures or not?

It’s a sad world we live in when even one of the world’s hottest supermodels feels immense pressure to conform to society’s unrealistic beauty standards.
