Becky With The Bronzer: Gigi Hadid Blames Heavy Handed Vogue Italia MUA & Photographer For Blackface Cover
A Vogue Italia cover is getting dragged across the Atlantic ocean for allowing Gigi Hadid to appear 17 shades darker on it. After social media backlash, Hadid did issue an apology, although the final product appeared to have been out of her control.
The shoot’s photographer Steven Klein has been under fire before, for publishing photos of models in actual blackface. Like here:
The same photographer doing blackface with Gigi Hadid for @VogueIta and blackface with Lara Stone for @VogueFrance. Also did the ableist shoot with Kylie Jenner in a wheelchair. Can nothing stop racist baby boomer men from being cancelled? Srsly the worst generation #GigiHadid pic.twitter.com/1HoUmvzgfy

And here:
– Also Gigi is just the model and she doesn't decide on many things when shooting but the photograhper does.
Steven Klein was the photographer of Gigi's Vogue Italia photoshoot and look at the other photos he takes it's not something you see often. pic.twitter.com/JZCz9z1CfI— Era🌹 (@specificjelena) May 3, 2018
In her lengthy apology, Gigi explained that she did wear bronzer during the shoot, however the extreme darkening of her face was done in photoshop, something she would have never consented to.
Once again Gigi is giving us answers we didn’t ask for. Sad that some people talk without knowing anything
We love you @GiGiHadid ❤️ pic.twitter.com/KsHkN68SY9— Zayn&Gigi News (@ZigiFacts) May 3, 2018
Commendable that Hadid did take the initiative to apologize. However, this isn’t the first time that Vogue and Gigi have been accused of the latter. What’s up with that?

I don’t mean to drag any of these two girls but come on
Gigi is not doing blackface on her lastest Vogue Italia cover. She’s just tanned.
If this was blackface then I’m sorry to break it to you but your faves like Ariana Grande and Jesy Nelson are walking blackfaces pic.twitter.com/cpscgzb0yL— juniel (@manbunzarry) May 3, 2018

What I find funny in these situations is how many ppl who claim they're experts on the modeling industry think that Gigi should appoligize for doing "blackface"in Vogue Italia. If they were such experts they'd know that the model isnt responsible for how the final editorial looks pic.twitter.com/JSrP7WHbki

Gigi blames the creative director for her black face! I’m sorry but if in any job you feel uncomfortable in the environment say no! I don’t care if it’s in the local coffee shop or a vogue cover! Man up and say no for the people who have had their voice stolen for them for years

Call out @vogue_italia for putting @GiGiHadid, who is not a woman of color, in an afro wig and blackface. pic.twitter.com/s0jKf2TfjY
