Linda Evangelista says her face, jaw, neck were taped as she appeared on the cover of a magazine

In an Instagram post, the supermodel who was famous in the 1990s, also threatened to file a lawsuit, stating that she was taking “a big step towards righting a wrong that [she has] suffered and [has] kept to [herself] for over five years”. That has since been settled, she announced on Instagram some days back.

Now, she has started to make appearances, too. In July 2022, the 57-year-old Canadian fashion model celebrated her return to modelling by sharing a photo of herself from a Fendi campaign, in which she appeared to be dressed in a grey turtleneck sweater accessorised with Fendi purses, a pair of pink-tinted sunglasses, and multiple pink satin hats, which were plonked on top of each other.

While discussing picture editing, retouching and makeup tricks that accompanied the photo shoot, the model was quoted as saying that for the Vogue cover, makeup artist Pat McGrath “gently drew her face, jaw and neck back with tape and elastics”.

“That’s not my jaw and neck in real life – and I can’t walk around with tape and elastics everywhere,” she told the publication in the interview.

“You know what, I’m trying to love myself as I am, but for the photos… Look, for photos, I always think we’re here to create fantasies. We’re creating dreams. I think it’s allowed. Also, all my insecurities are taken care of in these pictures, so I got to do what I love to do,” Evangelista said.
