When "The Swan" first aired on television two decades ago, in 2004, the reality makeover show captivated viewers—and horrified critics. Ahead of a new #Hulu documentary about the controversial series—"The Swan: Behind the Mirror"—we revisit a story longtime Allure contributor, Joan Kron, wrote for our September 2004 issue. At the link in bio, you can read Kron's full reporting on what happened offscreen throughout season one—and the details the contestants didn’t reveal.
