    Why do they always do that to her boobs?

    Cleavage, pink dress with ruffles and a pink corset belt. I think I’m confused.

  • schadenfreudelicious

    there is something about all that cleavage combined with all that petal pink that just doesn’t work for me….

    She is a beautiful woman. She doesn’t need all that Photoshop.

    There are no shadows or lines in the fabric of the upper portion of her dress. Looks so fake.

    • poketom

      It’s the weirdest thing to look at the enormous cleavage created by those sweater-puppies and not see a corresponding shadow below them.

      That retoucher should be FIRED.

    The second dress is fantastic on her. The first is too reminiscent of the opening credits of SATC, which SJP was too old for at the time and Salma is too old for now. Pretty much anyone older than Emma Stone is too old for that dress.

    Pink dress photo is unappealing because it looks so unreal.  She looks much better in the 2nd dress, though there’s something about it that makes the boobs look fake. (ETA: I don’t know why that bugs me a little, here, but it does. Maybe because I think it brings down the total look?).

  • Sara__B

    The cover is just silly with all the pink and ruffles and boobs and photo-shopping. The second would be perfect IF they hadn’t chosen to over-accentuate the cleavage. We know — Selma’s got a great rack. It’s okay if she puts it away once in a while.

  • Lina_bee

    The brown dress would be great IF IT FIT.

    • MilaXX

      It fits, but for some reason Salma and/or her stylist decided to push her boobs up like that. If they sat normally this would be a much better look.

  • TieDye64

    That is not a good cover shot. Her boobs, oy.

    Oh my cleavage.  How shocking.

  • http://asskickingadviser.com/ Ass Kicking Adviser

    InStyle is just addicted to the Photoshop! What is their deal? I can never recognize who is on the cover.
    Although I certainly could this time and I hate the look. The second look is so much more, um, fitting to a woman of her stature. Serioulsy, pink ruffles? She looks silly.

  • holdmewhileimnaked

    gorgeous dress! gorgeous dress! apologies, i love pink [especially pastel], corsets & ruffles. &, yep, some of my family did make fun of me for being this sort of person. my mother, who was a doctor, just found it inexplicable.

  • l3icest3r

    I like the pink McQueen dress, just not on someone with Hayek’s rack. The second look is perfect, the nicest thing I’ve seen in a while.

  • http://twitter.com/SparklyCasanova UglyCasanova

    No to the McQueen on her.  Yes to the BV on her.

  • quiltrx

    Her waist in the first pic and her waist in the second pic do not agree.

  • MilaXX

    I suspect there’s a bit of photoshopping on that cover photo and in real life I wouldn’t like it on her. The Bottega on the other hand, looks pretty good.

  • guest2visits

    I think Salma’s stunning good looks are what make just about everything she wears look fantastic too.
    Even the pink corseted tutu dress that was clearly made for a life size Barbie doll.

    She is too old for that dress!

  • ms_kat

    The AMcQ dress is pretty great in a different color, but a waist cincher wouldn’t do that to her boobs.  

  • http://www.facebook.com/samuel.j.donovan Samuel Joesph Donovan

    WHAT THE FUCK? That is offensively photoshopped. She doesn’t even look human–she looks like gumby.

  • newtonGOTbeaned

    The pink one is weird, but that Bottega Veneta dress looks amazing. Better than anything she’s worn in awhile.

  • Cat_In_A_Hat

    She looks fierce as shit on the inside. But that cover dress belongs on someone much younger.

  • http://profiles.google.com/sara.e.munoz Sara Munoz

    Oh, come ON. That’s not even close. I’d say it’s a new low for InStyle, but… it is sadly typical.

    I also get a kick out of the “218 pages!” headline.

  • Funkykatt

    The cover shot needs to go to Photoshop Disasters. Her waist esp looks ridiculous

    • Warmheartedgirl Seattle

      I thought her right upper arm was the worst of the photoshopping.  The waist is pretty bad, too, though.  What I don’t understand is, why do the stars put up with being photoshopped to death like this??  Do they have any say in it at all?

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_N75LLUHGJEGCGJ3HZAXEB3MBJI Deen

      EXACTLY my thought!!

  • unbornfawn

    They’ve made her body look strange. Why change anything? She’s gorgeous!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=504304481 Elizabeth Stewart

    The problem with that hideous cover is not her cleavage, because she does have some impressive cleavage. The problem is that her waist is the same width as her neck! What an awful Photoshop job. I wish to hell they’d stop trying to make all women look like life-size Barbie dolls.

    The gloves make that Bottega dress rock.

  • charlotte

    We get it. Waists are way overrated.

  • jmorino08

    Infantalize much, In Style?

  • poggi

    You are Salma Hayek and loaded to boot.  Why do you let them dress you up as a Hooters’ saloon girl?   Put your foot (probably clad in a pink granny boot) down and and say No!

  • http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

    Re: the cover photo… Hold photoshop, Batman. WTF is up with what they did to her right boob/ribs? And I’m sorry – she’s tiny, but her waist isn’t THAT tiny. 

  • LinXGUA

    Photoshop much? and … yes i know you have tits. 

  • http://twitter.com/DowntownDoodler DowntownDoodler

    she looks dead in the eyes.

  • Coralie Legister

    I don’t understand why they needed to ‘perfect’ the fabric around her boobs until it was just a flat block of colour.
