Fans of Victoria Beckham have come to her defence over suggestions her latest cover shoot has been doctored, proposing what may seem like a Photoshop fail is actually all about perception.
After the designer shared the photos from her Vogue China shoot with her near 10 million Instagram followers, it generated speculation about Beckham’s right leg.
In one of the stills, which shows the former Spice Girl pulling her knee up to her chest some commentators drew attention to the mysterious “gap” in her right thigh.
“I love these photos even if part of your leg is missing,” wrote one fan. “Photoshop fail,” said another. “It’s Photoshopped, she is missing a bit of her leg,” another commenter claimed.
However, others are now rebuffing that suggestion and pointing out the apparent detachment of her leg is an optical illusion due to the white material from her shirt.
“Stunning!!! Someone said the thigh of her back leg is missing but it’s just her shirt,” wrote one. “Clearly it’s a white body suit that blends into the background. LOL. Silly people,” another suggested. “It’s totally just the back of her shirt!” said another.
A spokeswoman for Beckham dismissed speculation the image had been doctored, pointing out it was “simply the shirt tucked under from behind”.
The Independent has contacted Vogue China for comment.
