http://scoop.newsvine.com/_news/2010/09/16/5120908-was-gabourey-sidibes-skin-lightened-on-elle- Why would they do that? It doesn't even look like the same young lady.
Doesn't look the same, VERY different lighting ... even her hair style was lightened up. Dont know why - she has gorgeous dark skin.
Not the same person. Notice the Teeth are differant, the Eyes are differant, and the Cleff in her chin is Much differant. Nope I dont think it is the same person. .. Come on Tabloids, They gotta make a Buck some How.
It's her, she's just photo-shopped so her skin appears lighter, and they tweaked other stuff too, but it is her.
