Marie Claire has been accused of courting controversy to sell more issues. GASP. What's more, the cover cheekily suggests that the actual Kate had struck a pose for the issue, despite insisting that she will not been seen simply as a clothes horse. The headline reads 'Fashion's new royal icon wears SA's best local designs' - oop - but craftily includes an asterisk: 'Of course she doesn't. But she should.' At least they're honest.
Explaining the cover, Marie Claire Editor Aspasia Karrass told The Telegraph: 'We were so inspired by her fairytale wedding and her life as a modern-day princess, which is why we elected Kate Middleton as our cover star for the August issue. The cover is actually a hyper-real illustration of Kate, meant to be a fan art tribute to fashion's new royal icon.' Hmm, with these 'hyper-real illustrations', does a celebrity ever have to pose for a cover again?

However, Jessica Simpson not only speaks out against flagrant photoshopping in her own life, she's gotten involved with Operation Smile to start A Beautiful Me, a campaign to motivate teens to embrace their inner beauty. And she practices what she preaches: Simpson did a make-up free photo shoot for Marie Claire, looking beautiful without help from computer enhancements or cosmetics.
"I don't have anything to prove anymore. What other people think of me is not my business."
—Jessica Simpson

Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, said she thought Simpson was brave for putting herself out there in a way most celebrities would never dare to do.
“The expectations on young women now are unbelievably high,” Coles said. “You have to do well in college, and get a great job even in this crazy market, and have a gymnast’s body. ... But this can make women realize that it’s fine not to wear makeup. It’s fine to be yourself. It’s fine to celebrate who you are and who you want to be.”
Coles insisted that no discreet makeup application or photo retouching occurred at all.
"I absolutely was not wearing makeup," she asserted to MTV News Monday night on the red carpet for Good Housekeeping's 125th anniversary celebration. "If you look at the cover, you can tell my nose has been broken a couple times. It's a little [off]."
