Fans have rallied behind Kathy Bates over seemingly photoshopped images of the actress as she attended the 98th over the past weekend.
The 77-year-old star — who — was radiant in a powder blue gown by Vera Wang as she walked the red carpet.
A designer for the brand, Dean M. Sonnenberg, uploaded a few photos to Instagram and said he had been 'delighted to have dressed the incomparable Kathy Bates.'
However, Threads user @ginaatinukeknight pointed out in a post that some of the images shared by Sonnenberg appeared to have been edited.
The pictures showed the dress suddenly wrinkle-free, while Bates' complexion appeared to have been slightly smoothed out.
The official Instagram account for Vera Wang also shared images that appeared to have similar edits.
