I am sorry but WTF? She looks like a slightly tanned white woman. What is going on with her? I don't follow her much anymore. It just seems like in recent time, she is looking more and more white. I am mixed too but girl is looking more white than me. I mean I know she always had a lighter complexion but she looks less black. Is she bleaching?

Airbrushed?

They most likely retouched the photo to make her appear lighter.

Why though? Like that expression plus the blonde hair and the airbrushing makes her look way too white. At least to me!

Most of the time, they always lighten celebrities in their professional photos. They've done it to Gabourey Sidibe, Beyonce, Brandy and some others that I can't remember. Reasons behind making them lighter are always bad... racism, colorism, etc.

Oh right. I remember seeing Brandy be lightened and she has darker skin, much darker than Beyonce. I saw her in person before. The industry is filled with people who don't want to see dark beautiful women I guess.
