Do you love your sister? How much?
Enough to let her share your Netflix account without paying a cent? Lend her that expensive new top you spent months saving for even though you haven’t even worn it yet?
Either way, it’s clearly not as much as Bella and Gigi Hadid.
The famous model sisters have just been unveiled as the joint March cover girls for British Vogue and let’s just say, their spread puts your sister selfie to shame.
The issue features a double cover with either Gigi or Bella on the front.
But the real, ahem, kicker is the shoot inside.
The pair were shot by photographer Steven Meisel for a fashion spread with, erm, no fashion to be seen.
Yes the sisters are nakey. And no, this is not a cute sibling-as-toddlers-at-bathtime kind of nuddy photo.
You mean you DON’T take pics with your sister like this?
People are confused, to say the least.
“Inappropriate and disturbing to say the least. Vogue is a FASHION magazine – we buy it to see clothes. I can’t imagine why anyone would think this was the kind of image the customer wanted. With all the scandals going on in the fashion industry, you then come up with this??,” wrote one commenter on the magazine’s Instagram account.
Listen: Ever wondered what a model gets paid? Chelsea Bonner knows. Post continues after audio.
“Disturbing and weird” and “Am I the only one who thinks this is a little weird?” added others.
Others were quick to appreciate the “artistic” nature of the pictures.
What do you reckon?

This is clearly an artistic statement. The problem is in the current state of how things are playing out in the entertainment industry & (as the modelling industry is inextricably linked to this industry) the heightened awareness around women's rights & the problems around the manipulation & the treatment of them, is common within it. I believe that this image though it would be deemed decidedly strange out of the current context of the Weinstein drama & the daily allegations & grievances around financial imbalances women are talking about are very apparent. I would suggest that British Vogue should of reviewed their decision to publish this cover. They should have erred on the side of caution & nixed it just to be on the safe side. It's also clear that whoever approved the photographer's choice didn't choose to test the waters before they lept in.
Nah. Naked model tableau shots are not new or even that provocative. What is new are social media "models" being shown up when they try to re-create the magic seen in previous compositions. The Hadids are not the real deal. They can't hold a candle to the 90's supermodels, and it shows here.
I don't really mind that the photo is naked, but it's a bit weird to be posing with your sister like that. It reminds me of The Veronicas a bit, there seemed to be a lot of photos of them around (not naked or anything) which were quite touchy-feely in an almost sexual kind of way. I mean, it's nice to be close to your siblings, but I'm not about to pose naked with my brothers!
Naked model shots have been done much better in the past (think: the 90's supermodels group pic), and weren't creepy like this one.
