Fortunately now the fashion is to be natural and every day it is more normal to see advertising or fashion campaigns in which the models appear without retouching, showing their face without makeup or, as the model Ashley Graham has done this week, showing off her cellulite without complex. Readers no longer want to see perfect, Photoshop-retouched images and perhaps that's why they've been furious with the publication of the latest Vogue cover starring Gigi Hadid.

In the photo taken by the prestigious fashion photographer Steven Klein, you can see the top posing with her hair in a very tight ponytail and her skin in a tone much darker than hers, something that has not sat well in the networks.

Couldn't they hire someone with skin that color? We exist and we also model,”wrote one of the offended readers on Twitter.

The model for her part has been quick to respond to the controversy and has done so through Instagram Stories, publishing an image taken by the paparazzi of the day in which the photos were taken for the cover of Vogue and where you can see the makeup she was wearing.

“You can see the level of tanning that I had been given in the studio. Please understand that my control in a photo shoot 1. is non-existent in terms of creative direction and 2. it ends completely when I leave the set”, she explained on the social network.

"I want to apologize because my intention was never to underestimate this issue or take advantage of opportunities from others and I hope this will serve as an example for other magazines in the future," he concludes.

And you, what do you think? Is the controversy exaggerated or was it a mistake for Vogue not to hire another model with naturally dark skin for this editorial?
