Photoshop Overload: Mariska Hargitay in Good Housekeeping

before and after

Law & Order’s Mariska Hargitay (46) is on the cover of Good Housekeeping this month, where she looks positively skinny and bobble-headed in an orange bandage dress. And what’s on the left? The actual Mariska, filming her show in July 2010.

What happened is that Mariska’s head was basically enormified on the cover – in the above comparison, I made sure that her head was the same size in both pictures for an accurate observation; but check the rest of her figure! Her hips start higher in the photoshopped image, her waist insanely smaller and so is the rest of her. And of course, the neck is obligatorily line-free (though that’s virtually impossible in that position).

See more recent pictures of Mariska on the next page – she certainly looks nothing like the fake picture on the right!  (skinnyvscurvy)
