Kim Kardashian's latest SKIMS campaign accused of photoshopping supermodel Tyra Banks

Kim Kardashian’s latest SKIMS campaign has been accused of heavily photoshopping Tyra Banks.

The supermodel took part in the underwear shoot alongside Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, and Kim herself who took centre stage.

But fans were less than impressed that images of both Kim and Tyra appeared to have been photoshopped.

One wrote: “Tyra seems to be a victim of extreme photoshop in this one – where did her body go?”

“Appalled to see the amount of photoshop done to Tyra Banks’ body in Kim Kardashian ’s new SKIMS campaign,” said another.

While a third – commenting on Kim’s figure - added: “Your waist looks ½ of Tyra Banks. Does Tyra Banks have a 50 inch waist or is this photoshopped?”

The Instagram account Problematic Fame, which posts about Hollywood beauty standards, said SKIMs had failed to represent “body positivity and inclusivity”.

In a lengthy post, they wrote: “For a brand that prides themselves on body positivity and inclusivity, this is low.

“In what world does editing Tyra’s body into a clone of Kim endorse any sort of body positivity and inclusivity?

“Tyra’s body is perfect, this photoshop is horrendous and completely unnecessary, disappointing @skims.”

Posting a shot of Kim and Tyra side-by-side from the SKIMS photoshoot, Problematic Fame added: “Their bodies are nowhere near identical in real life... this is insane to me.”

Tyra recently spoke of her excitement at being asked to do the SKIMS account with Kim and the other models.

Writing on Instagram, the Next Top Model judge said: “When @KimKardashian called me with the idea to reunite these incredible women and me for @SKIMS, I was intrigued. And here we are!

“I hadn’t modelled lingerie and undergarments since I retired from the runway, but it was like riding a bike. The poses came back fiercer than before!

“I’m rocking their Fits Everybody collection which is just as comfy as it looks. And yep, Kim... I’m now obsessed.”

The model shot to fame when she was just 15 appearing on the covers of magazines like GQ and Sports Illustrated.

She was a Victoria’s Secret Angel for eight years and by the early 2000s was one of the top earning models in the world.

Now 48, Tyra has film as well as TV credits behind her after appearing in movies like Coyote Ugly and Love & Basketball.

These days Tyra is best known for presenting the series Next Top Model around the world and more recently hosting the US version of Strictly Come Dancing – called Dancing With The Stars.
