   Kerry Washington looks uncharacteristically creepy, unrecognizable on the cover of Lucky

Kerry Washington is a gorgeous woman – aside from being a terrifying actress who always delivers a solid performance. However, you wouldn’t be able to tell how gorgeous she is from the cover of the December 2013 issue of Lucky Magazine.

Click on the image above to see the cover in full. For reference, this is what Kerry actually looks like on the red carpet, when she has her makeup and hair done by a professional and is wearing designer clothes handpicked for her by her stylist.

The woman in the picture could be her long-lost super creepy half / evil sister, but she’s not Kerry by any stretch.

Voices online are saying that this is either the result of very bad and overzealous Photoshop, or of a combination of amateurish Photoshop and very unfortunate makeup and lighting.

One thing is certain though: someone from Lucky, in their quest to make Kerry look her best on the cover, actually managed to make her look unspeakably bad. This was probably not the intent behind the pic but it still happened.

Unlike other celebrities who have committed this faux pas before, Lucky is staying mum on the topic, even though Twitter is on fire with outrage over what they did.
