Winslet blasts 'Vanity Fair' airbrush claims

Kate Winslet has hit back at claims that her Vanity Fair photoshoot was heavily airbrushed.

The 33-year-old appears in the December issue of the magazine naked apart stockings and heels. Several UK newspapers have cast doubt over the images, with the Daily Mail employing an airbrush artist to dissect the photographs.

However, a representative for Winslet issued a denial to People, saying: "Kate is furious at suggestions that her body has been airbrushed.

"She is in terrific shape and what you see is how she looks or she would never have agreed to pose for those shots. The only retouching was the usual work on skin tone that happens in every glamour shoot."

In 2003, Winslet apologised when drastically altered photographs of her ran in GQ magazine.

"I just didn't want people to think I was a hypocrite and that I'd suddenly lost 30lbs," she said. "So I just came out and said, 'Look, I don't look like that'. I'm not mad at the magazine, but I have no intention of looking like that."
