French Vogue has gotten into some more haute controversy.
This month's issue of the fashion magazine features a photoshoot with white supermodel Lara Stone in blackface, according to Jezebel.com.
No stranger to shocking shoots — it recently featured a faux-pregnant model smoking a cigarette— the magazine enlisted photographer Steven Klein to shoot the 14-page spread, styled by editor Carine Rotifeld.
The story that goes along with the photos praises Stone for her "radical break with the wave of anorexic models."
But the fashion world isn't alone in the blackface controversy.
A recent episode of "Mad Men" set in the 1960's — found Roger Sterling (played by John Slattery) hosting a party and entertaining in black face.
And last week, Harry Connick Jr. slammed contestants on an Australian variety show who performed a Jackson Five song in blackface.
As a judge, Connick Jr. gave the group a zero score. The show later apologized for the skit.
