Has Kelly Osbourne lost a ton of weight, or is she a case of extreme photoshopping?

It’s unbelievable how she looks in these publicity shots for Chicago (Kelly‘s first professional theatrical role)!

Kelly will join Chicago at the Cambridge Theatre in the West End on September 10 and will appear in it for seven weeks.

Here’s what an airbrushing expert quoted by the Daily Mail says about these photos:

“This is a really extreme case of retouching.

This looks like a combination of a very tightly fitting corset and an extensive amount of Photoshop computer trickery. You can tell from the thickness of her upper arms alone that everything has been shrunk.

In cases like this, to make things easier for the artists, a body double is even used and the person’s head placed on top. But if this is her body, then it has been stretched and thinned and there has been a large amount of retouching around the waist and arms. I would say the only part of this that is really Kelly is her bust area.

She has never looked this good, ever. She looks to be a size eight in the PR shots. No basque can do that amount of work.” [Source]

But Kelly Osbourne‘s spokesman claimed that only her “hair and chin” had been airbrushed in the publicity shots.

Here’s another photo, this time a candid one taken on the streets. It’s obvious Kelly has lost (some) weight!
