There's no denying that everything the members of the Kardashian/Jenner family do gets attention. Not all of it is good attention, though, as images from their collaboration with Calvin Klein have indicated.
When Kim posted an image from the shoot, she probably didn't expect the backlash that followed. Fans broke out their magnifying glasses and fine-toothed combs to figure out what exactly about the photo shoot didn't add up. The biggest controversy hands — er, arms — down was when fans noticed that Kourtney Kardashian's right arm looked skinnier than a toothpick.
Was it yet another Photoshop fail? The famous family has come under fire over the years for the use of touch-ups in their photos, and they have been criticized for presenting unrealistic body images to their fan base, many of whom are young girls. In this photo, it simply wasn't the case. Let's break down how when it comes to the controversial image, there's truly more than meets the eye.
We first got a teaser of the collab in January.
Kim shared this photo of their first photo shoot with Calvin Klein at the beginning of the year, when we were all still trying to figure out how many/which sisters were pregnant.
However, Kim shared this pic two weeks ago.
As we get closer to fall, it only makes sense that we'd see more of the KarJenner/Calvin Klein collaboration, which is part of their fall denim and intimates collections.
When fans took a closer look, though, they discovered a tiny problem.
Haters and appreciators all over the internet branded the image a major Photoshop fail.
Kourtney, who was recently branded the least interesting Kardashian to look at by Kim, stole the show when people realized her arm looked unrealistically tiny in the photo.
Other photos from that day show that Kourtney did, in fact, have a full-sized arm at the time of the shoot, so what gives?
It turns out that the shadow cast on Kourtney's arm, coupled with the black and white tones of the photo, effectively eliminate a good portion of it. It's just an old-fashioned optical illusion, which People confirmed after comparing it to the original, full-resolution image.
Kourtney wasn't the only one raising eyebrows during the shoot, though.
People also had some questions about the youngest of the sisters, Kylie Jenner. Many wondered how Kylie could appear bump-free despite being pregnant at the same time as sister Khloé, who sports a cute, round bump in the photo.
Kylie herself addressed this when recently posting a photo from the shoot. Her caption says, "shot this beautiful campaign for @calvinklein by @willyvanderperre just 3 weeks after i gave birth! #ad I also love that baby true joined us for the shoot. Such special pics ."
You see, Kylie gave birth to Stormi Webster on February 1. Khloé welcomed True Thompson on April 12, which makes her just under eight months pregnant in the photo.
Kylie looked freakin' amazing for being just three weeks postpartum, but it could also explain why she stuck with more covered-up looks throughout the shoot.
Last but not least, there are also some weird things going on with Kendall.
At 5 feet 10 inches, Kendall is the tallest of the sisters. Many questioned why they'd put her in the foreground, so close to the tiniest, Kim.
People believed that Kendall was Photoshopped into the image with her famous sisters, but behind-the-scenes photos of the shoot show Kendall in images with several of her sisters.
Not only was Kendall present, but she was also taking her own photos. She enjoys photography as a hobby and has a pretty good eye for it.
While most people came to the photos with hateful comments, one commenter took a different approach. These women might not be your cup of tea, but they're breaking rules and paving the way for other women, and that's something we can all get behind.
