Please click on the video and take a look at the lady on the left. Then compare to the woman just above. I understand that people are against Pshop, but how did they manage to make her look worse in the photo than in the video!?

 

Photographing a 56-year-old model from below and with her hair slicked back? And of course, make sure she grimaces just to make sure she looks as bad as possible. What were they thinking?

 

I can only guess. Maybe, for whatever reason, she didn't want to color her hair, and SI refused to show flowing grey hair (even though it's more flattering than it is slicked back). Or were they just afraid of all the "Real 56-year-old women don't look like that" responses on social media?

She looks better in the video with the gray hair flowing. I have seen women her age that are definitely more beach ready than she, which may be the point SI is making. She is an attractive, but not overwhelmingly beautiful 56 year old woman.
