Why does she try so hard to look light-skinned?

Kerry is clearly a dark brown-skinned woman https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRCde40Ep1zYthCzA cLechzzkUFxY799ryn7FTxwpupnxvkQNboAg but she tries so hard to look lighter by caking her face with extremely light foundation. I feel like she's probably jealous of the looks of naturally light-skinned ethnic women like Freida Pinto.

They lightened her skin on the recent InStyle cover:

She looks beautiful the way she is so I see no reason for them to have done this.
