Wow Kate, what a tiny waist you have!

It appears that the editors of Grazia thought the newlywed could stand to lose a few and trimmed the bride's torso (and added a bronze glow) for their latest cover, Jezebel points out.

The international fashion magazine's new issue celebrates the royal wedding and features the duchess in her Sarah Burton-designed gown with a Barbie-esque physique.

While retouching is the norm in publishing, Kate's digital lipo is particularly ironic given the media's fascination and scrutiny over her weight leading up the wedding. She was both applauded and criticized for dropping pounds too quickly, and at one point wanted to gain weight, according to Now magazine, the Daily Mail reported.

It's been estimated that Kate went from a U.K. size 12 (or U.S. size 10) in November to a size 8 (U.S. size 6) just before her big day. Her secret? The Dukan diet. Both her and her mother Carole Middleton reportedly follow the plan, which involves a strict eating regiment similar to the Atkins diet but with carbs... and a side of Photoshop for good measure.
