Every now and then a star will voluntarily pose without Photoshop or makeup to raise awareness of media's affection for airbrushing. (Jessica Simpson for Marie Claire, anyone?)
But what's even more interesting is when unretouched images that you're NOT supposed to see leak online, as is the case with these new supposedly Photoshop-free photos of Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes. (Victoria's Secret, after all, seems to be a devoted fan of airbrushing.)
Jezebel claims that the pics leaked on the forum The Fashion Spot, and the photos -- which show gorgeous Kroes posing in various VS swimsuits -- do reveal the unmistakable idiosyncrasies of natural beauty: a veiny hand, lighting imperfections, stray pieces of hair. You can also spot glimpses of the flesh-colored thong that Kroes is wearing underneath each suit, which we assume is for sanitary reasons if different girls are modeling the same suits. Do we even have to say it? Doutzen still looks amazing.
