Zendaya will cover the November issue of Modeliste magazine, which has released part of the shoot but none of the interview (yet). Z noticed that one of the shots ^^^ happened to be Photoshopped to the point where it looks like she lost her hips. Whenever Zendaya is confronted with a sketchy issue like this, she always responds with grace and chooses her words carefully. Just like when she handled those hairstyle issues, she’s on top of this one too. Z always thinks things through because she takes the role model thing seriously. Here’s how she responded to Modeliste’s overzealous treatment of her bod:

Had a new shoot come out today and was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated. These are the things that make women self conscious, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have. Anyone who knows who I am knows I stand for honest and pure self love. So I took it upon myself to release the real pic (right side) and I love it😍😘 Thank you @modelistemagazine for pulling down the images and fixing this retouch issue.

Zendaya always handles these shaming issues well, and yes, Photoshopping like crazy is a form of body shaming by the media. They know better than to do this, but they do it anyway. Z also handled makeup shamers the same way, but she’s also so careful to never shame anyone else in the process. Zendaya isn’t saying anything bad about women with smaller hips and torsos, she just wants to open a magazine and see her actual body!

Oh, and we never posted these photos of Z at Paris fashion week. Here she is looking fabulous at the Vivienne Westwood show.
