Victoria’s Secret Model Karolina Kurkova’s belly button is taking on a life of its own. Now it has been revealed that art directors have been adding a belly button to Karolina Kurkova’s belly so she will appear more like other Victoria’s Secret hot models.
"Karolina’s body is amazing, but her belly button is unusual," a fashion insider told Page Six magazine.
"It disappears in photos, so we keep a collection of belly button shots in different positions, and Photoshop them on to her whenever she’s doing a bikini picture."
Karolina isn’t bothered by it because she knows her image will be altered by some art director who has a preconception of what beauty really is.
