This morning, Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue was trending for digitally removing James Franco from the cover – now it’s trending for a whole other reason.
Savvy observers on Twitter noticed that Reese Witherspoon, who was one of 12 film stars photographed by Annie Leibovitz for the magazine's latest issue, noticed that the actress appears to have a third leg in the main photograph.
It might take a second for you to see it but there’s legit something wrong here:

Imagine the millions of dollars that have been spent digitally removing Reese Witherspoon's third leg from films and TV shows over the years. pic.twitter.com/mawsX6WLZ9

Her flesh is not the same color as the inside of her dress. pic.twitter.com/xW6343LpVW

Oh no, there are definitely 3. Look at the top of the slit. One leg upright/standing, then 2 legs angled/crossed. pic.twitter.com/g1VK5yDI1v

I just tried to arrange my leg in that position and tweaked my knee. Poor Reese.

To top it all off, another image from the shoot, this one of Reese Witherspoon leaning on her A Wrinkle in Time co-star Oprah Winfrey, seems to give Oprah a third hand:
Forget Reese Witherspoon having 3 legs in Vanity Fair’s photo, Oprah has 3 hands in another ðŸ'‹ðŸÂ?» (She’s holding Reese) pic.twitter.com/ngZ4cFwRWK

Mind you, the actresses had a great sense of humour about the whole thing, as did the publication itself.
Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. 😃( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;) https://t.co/6GyrfWxNSY

While we would have loved the exclusive on @RWitherspoon's three legs, unfortunately it's just the lining of her dress. https://t.co/HJjvbc037S

As for @Oprah, how can we expect her to juggle it all with just two hands?
