A look back at the Kardashians' 10 biggest photoshop fails


The Kardashian clan have come under fire again for editing their pictures, after an untouched image of Khloe Kardashian was accidentally released into the public domain over the weekend. 

While most would be proud to look so good in a bikini, it’s not hard to see that the mother-of-one looked different to her highly glamorized Instagram images that she shares with fans. 

Although the unedited snap has been praised by fans, who were still in awe of the reality star’s enviable curves and natural good looks, Khloe’s team have been working hard to remove all traces of the ‘unauthorized’ photo.

The image in question showed the 36-year-old entrepreneur standing by a pool wearing a skimpy leopard print string bikini. The Good American founder appears unfiltered and un-airbrushed as she looks in campaign shots for her brand. 

The image came as a shock to many fans, who have not seen many unedited snaps of siblings Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall on the internet. But it’s well known that the family are fans of using photo editing apps, with their followers often calling them out for the gaffes.  

Now, as Khloe’s team scramble to remove THAT unedited snap from the internet, MailOnline looks back at the famous family’s biggest Photoshop fails.

While the Kardashians are often accused of editing their own pictures to look in perfect shame, Kim turned the tables when she claimed that ‘awful’ pictures taken by the paparazzi during a trip to Mexico in April 2017 were ‘Photoshopped’ by the photographer to be unflattering.

Speaking after images emerged of the reality star frolicking in a thong bikini, the mother-of-four admitted she wasn’t in her ‘best shape’ and hadn’t worked out for 12 weeks when the pictures were taken.

Yet despite stating that she had been altering her own snaps, the 40-year-old socialite insisted during an appearance on The View that the paparazzi were to blame for ‘sharpening’ and ‘Photoshopping’ the pictures to make her look ‘way worse’ than she really did.

After posting a photo promoting her fragrance with younger sister Kylie, fans couldn’t help but notice what looked like a sixth toe peeking out of Kim’s perspex heels. 

In the photo, taken in August 2019, the mother-of-four and her make-up mogul sister wear matching one legged bodysuits, but it was Kim’s left foot that caught fans’ attention, as it looked as though she had an extra digit poking out of her clear stilettos.

Despite fans chalking the mistake down to an editing fail, several followers became convinced the star did indeed have a sixth toe, prompting her to share a video of her feet in September 2020 to clear the air once and for all taping her foot and counting out each toe.

Back in May 2020, Khloe was accused of heavily editing an Instagram image that showed the reality star looking dramatically different. 

When she initially unveiled the image, fans accused the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star of having cosmetic procedures and even going under the knife after she unveiled the super glam look showing off new golden brown tresses.

But a glaring Photoshop fail pointed out by Instagram users appears to prove that Khloe’s altered appearance was all down to editing wizardry, with the dainty Nicole Rose Jewelry butterfly necklace around Khloe’s neck missing the chain on one side.

While speculation has been rife over Khloe’s changing appearance in recent months, particularly in regards to the shape of her nose, the star maintains she has never had a rhinoplasty, stating her nose looks slimmer because of contouring. 

However, Instagram account Celebface, which prides itself on exposing misleading photo editing by celebrities and high-profile social media influencers, pointed out that more than makeup may have come into play in one snap.

The youngest of the Kardashian clan was forced to delete an Instagram image last summer after eagle-eyed fans pointed out a ‘Photoshop fail’ that appeared as if she had altered an image of herself posing in a bikini.

Just days after being called out for editing a professional image to ‘look like a Barbie doll’, the model was accused of another Photoshop fail.

Keeping up with the changing faces! How Kim, Khloe, Kylie and the rest have transformed since season one of Keeping Up With The Kardashians

Keeping Up With The Kardashians just announced it will be ending next year after 20 seasons on TV. 

And while plenty of things have changed for the superstar family in the past 14 years, nothing has evolved as much as the sisters’ looks.

Since 2007 Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian went from wild 20-somethings with heavy eyeliner habits to chic, contour-savvy CEOs and moms.

At the same time Kendall and Kylie Jenner grew-up in front of the camera, transforming from awkward preteens into their ultra glamorous selves of today.

Though it’s undeniable that styles – and budgets – have changed since the start, many think the ladies have had a little extra help throughout the seasons.

The girls began to flaunt fuller lips, changing curves and ever-thinning noses as the years went on.

While Kim and company have kept coy about their procedures, the sisters have fueled more than a few cosmetic surgery trends along the way, prompting fans to flock to their doctors to get that Kardashian-plump pout or Kim-inspired derriere.
