Vogue Thinks Adele Is Too Fat

Vogue's view of Adele...

And they get Annie Leibowitz to do something about it...

This one was brought to my attention by our girl-crush fave, Jezebel, who has highlighted the gross exploit of singer-songwriter, Adele, in the pages of the ever classy Vogue magazine.

I can't say I'm surprised that the magazine most famous for posing waifish models in dead-eyed poses has sunken to new Photoshop lows with this spread, but... I am actually surprised.

After a several paragraph focus on how clothing has to be modified for uber-talented Adele's "voluptuous" frame for the Grammys, the article gets down to the business of describing how the singer rose to fame. But Hamish Bowles always gravitates back to the matter of her size, whether through describing what Adele eats to celebrate her award winnings, or quoting Adele's own minor insecurities: "I don't like my arms—my upper arms," she explains. "It's the only feature I don't like about myself. I used to wear minidresses with jeans, but I get my legs out now."

She's hella cute!

After beating the Jonas Brothers and Duffy for the Best New Artist Grammy, and taking the coveted Best Female Pop Vocal Performance one as well, is it really necessary to not only fixate on her size, but then depict it in such an utterly unrecognizable way? The photo above is from Vogue, and the one to your right is what Adele actually looks like. Not since the Pshop fiasco of totally tiny Jessica Alba has something gotten under our skin quite so much.

Time to cancel the office subscription to Vogue.

but she IS fat. She's also a very good singer, but she IS fat. Deal with it. Nobody was calling her ugly, or dumb, or bad singer. Just fat, and it's a fact that adele is fat. And so?

Adele is one of these types that if she was curvier or thinner she would still be pretty. She can actually sing and compose, is classy and thank god is more attractive than Miley, Justin B, Rihanna. So to the person who just wrote , OPEN YOUR EYES! if Rihanna gained weight she be be ugly. Adele is attractive, thick or thin.

someone is obviously an idiot.... but obviously i dont even need to say who. - Adele wasnt flat 80 percent of the album, why? cause its an album, theyre edited. - Adele can sing and she is one of the greatest singers to pop, although haters are entitled to their opinon, there is no need for being rude. - When I first saw adele on her music video, I thought she was pretty, It was obvious she was big, but when i saw her live I didnt realize she was that big, and I applaud her for it, for standing out, being big and proud of it and not letting it get in the way of her career, cause thats what being an artist is about. But haters wouldnt understand. - If wasting oxygen gives her 100 million fans and awards and big bucks, by all means she can have my air...

For the anorectic models Vogue put on their pages, yeah Adele is too fat for them. And some comment below be: are you kidding me? Adele has a great voice! Yeah, I bet RIhanna or Jennifer Lopez don't mess with your ears... oh wait: they're thin! --'

I don't understand why people are all surprised. She IS fat. Do you expect them to lie and say, oh she's the healthiest, fittest, person around? NO! It is not healthy to be fat and don't say you can't control it because you can. Everyone who says it is hard to lose weight eats to much and works out too little. People saying they don't have the time when they spend hours watching TV. Take the time to get a treadmill, turn on the TV and run on it while watching soap operas. Just DO IT. Also she smokes, so her voice is going to be gone with the wind in about 2 years. This is the most unhealthy famous girl ever. Why worship that?

She's fat but she can sing.Her job isn't starving herself & looking pretty in pictures.She actually has talent & fans.It's pretty lame Vogue doesn't want her.I guess they rather put some nameless model rather than Adele who's a huge superstar.Whatever.

Every single blood test I've ever had from any doctor has come back that I was perfectly healthy, as healthy as a size 8 woman my age, the only thing different is that I'm 10 sizes larger. Don't try try to say overweight people are lazy, most of them try a lot harder than the rest of you to be healthy, and in fact by insulting them all you're doing is making their lives harder, and making yourself look like a cruel, cold-hearted, ignoramous who's a "waste of oxygen".

Adele is normal. The anorexic models that are plastered in all those sexist, vile women magazines and T.V. need to eat. The woman is beautiful and her voice is amazing. Just bc you have been programed to think thin is beautiful, fine, But name calling thats pathetic. All you heaters come across as envious. I bet your words stem from your talentless ass wishing you would be able to sing one note the way adele does. I'm ashamed of all you hateful women thanks, for living up to the stereotypes, more senseless women on women hatred.

I think its great that she doesnt let the media and other people get to her. she is a great singer and is beautiful just the way she is.

Posted By redlips (155 days ago)

first off not everyone is made to be super thin so "your mom " kill yourself twice for saying that cause her voice is powerful and so is her beauty she is fine the way she is curves and all.

Look people, there's no escaping that Adelle is fat. She is fat because she chooses to over-consume and not exercise. These are facts of life. Unless she has a VERY rare weight gaining condition, she is fat through her own doing. To the person who said fat people work harder than most. UTTER TRIPE. By definition, if you carry excess weight, it means you are not working hard enough in correspondance with the type and amount of food you eat. This may sound harsh but it's very much the truth many large people NEED to hear, or else we are going to have a epidemic on our hands. As for Vogue, they need to sell magazines and they are not going to sell them with someone who is overweight on the front cover. May sound harsh once again but we are programmed to be attracted to a certain type of figure. That above is not it. Vogue is a business and anyone here would do the same, so stop defending someone who can help the way they look.
