The supermodel stars on the cover of British Vogue’s September issue, her first since announcing she was “permanently disfigured” following a treatment known as CoolSculpting. Although she initially thought the drug was a “magic potion”, it led her to undergo liposuction after complications left things “sticking out of me”. In the Vogue interview, she said, “These CoolSculpting ads kept coming up, on CNN, MSNBC, over and over again, asking, ‘Do you like what you see in the mirror?’ “They were talking to me. It was about stubborn fat in areas that wouldn’t budge. It said no vacation, no surgery and… I drank the magic potion, and I would because I’m a little vain. So I did it – and it failed.” Evangelista, 57, said she had tried several methods to correct the rare post-surgery complication known as paradoxical fat hyperplasia. She had two rounds of liposuction and at one point stopped eating. “I was so embarrassed, I’d just spent all this money and the only way I could think of to fix it was zero calories, so I just drank water. Or sometimes I had a stick of celery or an apple,” she said. “I lost my mind”. Paradoxical fat hyperplasia, which is rare, occurs when freezing the fat cells causes a reaction in the fat tissue that causes the cells to expand instead of breaking down. Evangelista said she now “tries to love myself the way I am” but still regrets the procedure. “If I had known that the side effects could include losing your livelihood and ending up so depressed that you hate yourself … I wouldn’t have taken that risk.” She said she was still suffering from the psychological effects of the botched operation, but had received help from her friends.

Absolutely not,” he said. “But I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from my friends and from my industry… You’re not going to see me in a swimsuit, that’s for sure. It will be hard to get a job with things sticking out of me. no retouching, or compressing things, or taping, or compressing, or cheating.” In the images for Vogue, shot by veteran photographer Steven Meisel, Evangelista looks recognizably radiant, albeit visibly covered up. The model wanted to make it clear that this was not an exact representation. “That’s not my jaw and neck in real life — and I can’t walk around with tape and elastics all over,” Evangelista said in the interview. “You know what, I try to love myself the way I am, but for pictures… Look, for pictures I always think we’re here to create fantasies.” Evangelista was one of the original supermodels – in 1990 she famously said “we don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day” – but the reality behind the glamor of that era is now being revealed. After Kate Moss opened up about her experiences as a young model on Desert Island Discs in July, Evangelista also shared a story about landing a modeling contract in Japan when she was 16. “I went to the agency and it was all, ‘take your clothes off, we need your measurements’, but they already had my measurements,” she said. “They wanted me naked and it wasn’t a ‘would you do nude’ conversation, it was a ‘will you do naked’ conversation. I left and called my mother and she said, “Leave now and go to the embassy.” So that’s what I did and they took me home.” The model first opened up about her experiences with CoolSculpting on Instagram in September 2021. She then sued Zeltiq Aesthetics, the company behind CoolSculpting, for $50m (£42m) alleging serious injuries. The lawsuit was settled last month for an undisclosed amount. This Vogue cover is the second high-profile shoot she’s completed in the last year. In July, she appeared in an ad for luxury brand Fendi, also shot by Steven Meisel. In a statement to Vogue, a spokesperson for US-based Zeltiq said: “We are pleased to resolve this matter with Ms Evangelista. “Our focus continues to be on empowering trust by providing safe, reliable beauty products and services backed by science. CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for visible fat lumps in nine areas of the body.
