My dentist (who actually has many models and celebs in his practice (Linda, Shalom, Keith Richards & his whole family) told me that he was aghast when he saw the Prada ad for fall this summer with all the gap toothed models. He said it was only a matter of time before people come in asking for that look. He was baffled, and he’s a dentist! I think that it makes them look goofy and not so perfect, which is the look these days, no? And it may also have to do with looking childlike, as we all probably had a moment in time when we were kids and our adult teeth were coming in or coming in weirdly. The gap teeth and the womanly body give off a child/woman vibe. I think that the casting agents, photographers, & stylists know exactly what they are doing using these models.
that’s pretty much standard practice, isn’t it? Once a model hits it big, start getting in younger, cheaper (in terms of day rates, I suppose) versions of her so you get her look but don’t have to pay them as much. And you can add Daphne Groeneveld to that list- she’s Tom Ford’s companion on the December issue of Vogue Paris, and wasn’t yet born when he gave Gucci its makeover.
I like quirky teeth, Lauren Hutton is forever fab in my book and if I have a reason to dislike Georgia Jagger, it’s not for her teeth but for the permanently gormless expression she has when faced with a camera. At least Lara Stone is capable of more than one facial expression…
Last season’s America’s Next Not Model featured a scene wherein a slightly gap-toothed girl was sent by Tyra to the dentist to have her gap widened–and it’s not the first time, if i remember correctly. He just shaved right in between the top teeth OH GOD.
Amusingly I remember a season of ANTM where one of them (was it Dionne?) had a gap and she said it was her thing like Madonna and Tyra forced her to get caps because she said you couldn’t be a model with gappy front teeth. I despair for humanity sometimes!
I maybe late to this party, but WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE MODEL’S TEETH?!?!?!?
How can she be a model with teeth like that?? Seriously, you could drive a car through that gap!
i love that look, too, but it’s like: i love kate moss’s and brigitte bardot’s similar slightly wall-eyed look, but i’m not going to have my eye sockets shaved down to achieve it personally. its beauty is because of its rarity in nature OR SOMETHING.
That is one BAD pic of Laura. Georgia is in the middle. It saddens me how chavvy her voice sounds yet she’s the face of Chanel. Stupid chavvy English girls giving us a bad name. Yah.
Have I woken up in the Twilight zone?

look! just found this on another blog…..
Haha, I can tell Lara is last but the other two…no clue!
That is so funny!!
There’s Jess Hart too, and Abby Lee Kershaw (who I think you might have praised here before). They are a clone army, soon to be outmoded.
If they shut their mouths their careers will be gone (nudge nudge wink wink).
Just add Pattie Boyd into the mix and you’ve got a cross-generational confusion…
CAN any of the shut their mouths??? or do all those ugly horse teeth get in the way.
I HATE THEM.
so beyond ugly.
love all three. total hotties in my book. now let’s round em up and put them in an editorial together~
Huh? You are saying they are three different people?
The first one is a scene from a zombie movie, right?
Yuck. Beyond weird.

Wait, those photos are of three different women??
gap teeth are SEXY…get a clue.

Rackk and Ruin – I would LOVE to see that editorial! It’s a no-brainer, right?? I love them, too.
Gap teeth and red lips are sexy. Looking identical to 2 other people when you’re not a triplet is not.
I don’t think they look alike at all. Laura and Georgia are very pretty. The first gal not so much.
Lara’s the best! Georgia thinks she’s so cool. Can we also throw current bridget bardot into that editorial? http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/bridget-bardot.jpg
If there would be million of them, world would be a better place.
claudia-
that was one of the single dumbest things i’ve ever seen someone do for a reality tv show.
I like them too,plus 2 out of the 3 are bringing back the big boob look.
I can’t stand that first picture… those teeth. No apologies. It’s like looking at a set of Chicklets surrounded by red licorice.

ok the girls (in order) are ashley, georgia, and lara.
i think its cool they are pimping out their imperfections (gap teeth) and look gorgeous. makes them interesting, not just a cookie-cutter beauty.

Don’t mind the gap, but those always open mouth… it looks so dumb.

Oh fail, I meant Lara.
Er … the gappy teeth are a ruse people. They all have big tits – duh! 😉 xo
