This is what actress Kerry Washington looks like in real life.
And here's how Washington appeared on the April 2016 cover of Adweek. She addressed her doctored look on Instagram: "It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror. It's an unfortunate feeling."

The September 2009 cover of Self magazine featured a super fit looking photo of Kelly Clarkson.
The magazine digitally shed pounds off of Clarkson to make her look "her personal best," according to Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger.
Editor-in-Chief Lucy Danziger admitted and defended Photoshopping the singer on Self.com:
"Do we retouch? Yes! Did we alter her appearance? Only to make her look her personal best ... Did we publish an act of fiction? No. Not unless you think all photos are that. But in the sense that Kelly is the picture of confidence, and she truly is, then I think this photo is the truest we have ever put out there on the newsstand."
Oprah Winfrey was at the top of her game when she appeared on an August 1989 cover of TV Guide. But it wasn't just Oprah on the cover.
