We're huge Jasmine Tookes fans, and we can't wait to see her walk in this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show—especially wearing that $3 million dollar, diamond- and emerald-encrusted Fantasy Bra. But what we're were even bigger fans of is how unfiltered Tookes is—quite literally. When an unretouched photo of Tookes was released—one where you could see her stretch marks, because surprise, we almost all have them—she didn't shy away from her flaws, but rather owned them. So when one Instagram user made a serious dig, Tookes proved she's no bullshit, and yes, we love her for it.
All things Victoria's Secret we love:
- The Surprising Amazingness of the Victoria's Secret Matte Liquid Lipstick
- Check Out Everyone Who Will Be Performing at the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
- Bella Hadid Booked to Walk Along With Sister Gigi Hadid in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Basically, Tookes decided to post an Instagram showing the Fantasy Bra, with a friendly reminder that the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is soon. Totally tame. (The IG is below.) Lots of comments from fans rolled in, filled with all of the applicable emojis. But then after a few users thought she looked a bit paler in the photo, one user went too far and wrote, "Exactly what I was thinking, I think she bleached herself she used to look black."
Um, wait. What? Here at Allure, the topic of skin bleaching is not something we take lightly—we were highly offended when Azealia Banks compared skin bleaching to hair weaves, to say the least. But we were so proud of Tookes, who when accused of skin bleaching, didn't stay silent—in fact, she responded to the commenter, tagging the user in her reply.
"are you kidding me!?!?!? Who in the world does that?" Tookes wrote. "First of all. Lighting is everything and not to mention I’m way darker in the summer and much lighter towards the winter. My skin tone changes all the time just like everyone else." [sic]
The model's honest and awesome AF response was celebrated by other Instagram followers, Cosmo reports, saying that they encouraged Tookes to simply ignore the haters. Which she should. But we don't blame her for being pissed. We still are for her, TBH.
