Last week, Kendall Jenner shared a carousel of images from what looked like a glorious beach getaway, complete with stunning views and, of course, given she owns her own tequila brand, plenty of the liquor.
While the carousel captured gorge moments like Jenner sunbathing in a lime green bikini, boogie-ing in an orange and pink ombré dress with long lush sleeves that connected to the hem, and sitting on sand dunes, Instagram users zoned in on the fourth photo in particular.
Jenner was pictured on what looks like a concrete balcony, overlooking the sand dunes and ocean. She was crouching in an itty-bitty dark green bikini, balancing herself with her hand.

Fans were quick to comment on the length of her hand that looked elongated, and, quite frankly, Photoshopped, in the photo. They comments included “why the long hand?” and “what up with that hand tho”, and it became speedy speculation that the length of the hand signified an overall lengthening of the photo.
While Jenner remained quiet on the whole debacle, bestie Hailey Bieber came to her defence, in the form of a funny Instagram Story.

The story shows Jenner making that same shape with her hand, to show off its natural length (and damn, it is a long hand).
Zooming in on the hand, Bieber captioned the story with “been had long a** hands x fingers” with a bunch of alien emojis.
In the background of the video, Bieber says, “We’re sitting here analysing, look how bizarre her hand looks normally. This is live! Live footage of the hand,” she laughed. You can hear other friends in the background joking, which made Jenner laugh in response.
Sometimes it seems pretty wild how one social media photo — buried within an Instagram carousel! — can cause such a stir. Poor Kenny and her long alien fingers. We still love you, babe.
