Seventeen Magazine reported that the photo, featuring models Martha Hunt and Stella Maxwell, has a few glaring mistakes.

According to commenters on the photos and the Seventeen report, Hunt's right arm appears to be heavily smoothed out and her left elbow, jutting out from the side of Maxwell's arm, is too far to look realistic.

Other errors were also pointed out in the comments:

"There is no reason why they couldn't sell that bra without retouching the size of their already small arms," someone wrote.

"It's obvious they photoshopped another photo of Hunt onto this particular photo. 1. her Abdominals and obliques (stomach area) aren't lining up correctly and 2. Her arms are disproportionate," one commenter wrote, although it is possible Hunt is leaning into Maxwell slightly, creating a dip in her obliques.

Similar comments point out the direction Hunt's bellybutton appears to be pointing in the photo, although the photo is cut off before that point, making it difficult to tell.

Last month, a woman who claimed to work as a former photo editor for the company spoke about the process of editing photos of VS models to Refinery29.

"I know what I'm doing is wrong, and that's a huge part of why I'm not doing it full-time anymore," she said.

Victoria's Secret, Hunt and Maxwell have yet to comment on the accusations.
