Missing arms, thinned thighs - Victoria’s Secret has faced ridicule more than once for committing Photoshop blunders against its famously curvy models, and Candice Swanepoel may just be the latest.
The South African beauty is seen with bizarrely-protruding muscles on her left shoulders in a new ad for the lingerie giant.
Though it could just be an awkward angle, made worse by an unfortunate pose, Victoria’s Secret’s history of airbrushing fails suggests otherwise.
Photoshop fail? Miss Swanepoel poses with noticeably muscular shoulders, begging the question if the lingerie giant is overcompensating for her thin frame
Given that the photo has been unveiled just two weeks after the supermodel was accused of looking ’scary skinny’ at a public appearance for VS Swim, it begs the question if the brand is overcompensating for her thin frame.

Miss Swanepoel drew gasps from onlookers when she modelled the label’s new range of swimwear with fellow Angels Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima last month.

Her thin legs, concave stomach and slim jawline were noticeably different from the fuller figure she exhibited in the Victoria’s Secret Valentine’s Day campaign, which was released in January.
In an attempt to hush rumours about unhealthy weight loss, she told the New York Daily News: ’I am healthy and happy.’
It is not the first time Victoria’s Secret has been caught out for aggressive retouching. Just last month, retouchers appeared to have airbrushed out large parts of a model’s thighs.

The beauty, who wore a bright blue linen beach romper, was pictured with unnaturally thin legs in a picture posted on the company’s website.
She had also been given a bizarre concave shape to her inner thighs.
Victoria’s Secret came under fire for another Photoshop blunder last year after model Marisa Miller’s arm was removed in the digital retouching process.

The lingerie retailer was once famous for choosing curvy models to advertise their swimwear, legendary supermodels Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks having catwalked for the brand.
Recently, however, it has been criticised from shifting away from the fuller figures that made the brand so famous in favour of super-slim girls.
Last year, the company was in hot water after a 2010 shoot in St Barts revealed a strikingly skinny Alessandra Ambrosio modelling the label’s swimwear with her pelvic bones and ribs protruding just a year-and-a-half after having her baby Anja.
