17 Stars Whose Instagram Pics Were Much Different Than Those Taken by Photographers on the Same Day
We all try to present ourselves in the best way possible on social media, and celebrities are no different. In fact, sometimes the photos they post on their own social pages don’t truly match the ones taken by professional photographers on the red carpet. This just proves that social media and real life are 2 different worlds that shouldn’t be compared with one another.
Naomi Watts
Rebel Wilson


Different lighting, a more relaxed face, not caught in a candid moment. The “pro” has very unflattering light. Not comparable.
Kate Hudson


Way different lighting. High exposure and a relaxed face. You couldn’t see wrinkles even if they were there because of the exposure. Not comparable.
Helen Mirren
Lena Dunham


Flattering lighting, unflattering lighting. Different camera quality. Not comparable.
Lily James


Better lighting, selfie so she can arrange her pose. Flattering lighting and relaxed face next to unflattering lighting and smiling face. Not comparable.
Paris Hilton


Finally an actually edited photo, and not only that, but severely edited. Did she blend her jaw into her neck? Way too much filter.
Kerry Washington


Better lighting- unflattering lighting. Relaxed face- unrelaxed face. Posed- caught in a candid moment. Not comparable.
Ashley Graham


Different angle, different camera quality. Possibly a filter. Not unrecognizable. Not comparable.
Chloë Grace Moretz


Different lighting, different camera quality, relaxed face compared to unrelaxed. Looks gorgeous in both. Not comparable.
Alyssa Milano


Different lighting and camera quality. Probably a filter, possibly smoothed her skin texture.
Gwen Stefani


High exposure. If there was any wrinkles or changes you couldn’t even see them because of the lighting. Not comparable.
Demi Moore


Same person, no editing, different lighting, exposure, and camera quality. Skin texture, wrinkles, and flyaways were untouched. Not comparable.
Zoe Saldaña


Flattering lighting and exposure compared to unflattering lighting and exposure. Not comparable.
Gemma Chan


Different setting and lighting. Maybe a filter/smoothing, or maybe one was with a camera and in lighting that picks out the skin texture.
Mindy Kaling


Unflattering lighting and relaxed face compared to warmer lighting/setting and smiling face. Different cameras. Not comparable.
Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner


Different lighting/setting. Probably edited heavily but subtly. Way too much makeup to tell.
