Critics have been abuzz with allegations against Meghan Markle, claiming
she imitated '90s supermodel Christy Turlington's iconic Vogue cover pose. The
heated debate centers on potential photo manipulation, perplexing both fans and
skeptics alike.
While drawing inspiration from celebrities is not unusual, critics argue that
Meghan's attempt at mimicry falls short, revealing noticeable discrepancies in
the pose and body shape.
The comparison highlights Christy Turlington's graceful execution of the pose,
with her torso slightly lifted from the floor. In contrast, Meghan's rendition
shows her flat on the floor, raising only her arms and legs. Detractors point
out that Meghan's pose lacks the same level of difficulty and muscle
engagement, leading some to dismiss it as a mere "cheap knockoff" of the
renowned supermodel's pose.
The controversy doesn't end with the pose; speculation has also arisen about
possible Photoshop alterations in Meghan's Vogue cover. Observers have noted
differences in lighting and shadows around her body, fueling doubts about the
authenticity of the image. Some even question alterations to her feet and
neck, further adding to the skepticism.
Beyond the Vogue cover, Meghan has faced accusations of imitating Christy
Turlington in her humanitarian efforts. Her involvement in discussing safe
birthing practices in Africa has led some to claim she is encroaching on the
territory of Christy Turlington's non-profit organization, Every Mother
Counts, established in 2010.
While Meghan's role as a guest editor for British Vogue's September issue garnered praise from some, others have raised eyebrows over her connections with the former editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful. The debates surrounding Meghan's actions and intentions continue to generate burstiness and intrigue among her supporters and critics alike.
