The pictures have caused outrage online.

When we think about some of the most beautiful women in the world, we think of celebrities like Beyoncé and Rihanna.

Yes, these two women are hailed as being among the most gorgeous, however, someone felt that one change would make them even prettier.

The growing trend of whitewashing images through Photoshop has been seen online in the past and now the attention has been turned to celebrities like Beyoncé and Rihanna.


The images have caused outrage online, with Twitter users quickly hitting back at those who shared them.

“This is the most racist thing I’ve seen today,” said one person in response to the pictures.

Many have also demanded the images be removed from the social media site.

This isn’t the first time these images have been shared. The same edited images of Rihanna were shared last year also on Twitter and were met with a similar response.
