A flaw or a highlight? Madonna and other stars with a gap between their teeth
The gap between the front teeth (in scientific terms, diastema) is considered a cosmetic flaw, which is usually eliminated in order to enter the world of the rich and famous. Nevertheless, today we see many examples of how the "gap" between the teeth not only did not prevent, but, on the contrary, helped celebrities rise to the very heights of fame.
The world of the rich and famous is strict, cruel and inflexible, and here, it would seem, everything is clear: if you do not fit into the standards, you fly out. But, it turns out, it's not quite like that.
After the era of identical faces and figures, the fashion world is striving for something new, and now small flaws in appearance have become an excellent way to get a coveted contract instead of a previously guaranteed refusal. In our selection there are stars who did not correct the diastema, turning it from a lack into a highlight.
Madonna has a "special relationship" with diastema. In 1990, the singer starred for the cover of Glamour magazine.
The designers of the magazine, accustomed to the perfect picture, took and retouched Madonna's smile, removing the gap. The star was furious: she was so offended that she did not even take away the award due to her, awarded by the magazine in the nomination "Person of the Year".
In 2012, Lara Stone took the ninth place in the list of the sexiest models according to the magazine "Icons of the industry".
The supermodel was the "face" of the Prada fragrance, opened the shows of such famous houses as Givenchy, Fendy, Marc Jacobs and Balmain, smiled from the cover of British Vogue… And all this — despite the "alien" appearance, awkward gait and outstanding gap between the teeth.
The first season of Abby Lee Kershaw's fashion shows became a stellar one for the girl.
She managed to walk the runway 29 times, close the Rodarte show, participate in exclusive Gucci and Victoia's Secret shows. In the same 2008 debut for Abby, the model became the face of the Gucci Flora fragrance. A year later, Abby opened and closed shows of such monsters of the fashion industry as Fendi, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana.
Since 2015, Abby has been acting a lot in films, on her account such blockbusters as "Mad Max", "Gods of Egypt", "The Dark Tower". And as you can see, the gap between the teeth does not interfere with the girl's career in any way.
Ashley Smith is called "Texas Brigitte Bardot" for her plump lips and pronounced gap between her teeth.
The late start of her career, unfashionable growth, universal outrage, freckles and the ubiquitous gap – none of this prevents Ashley from opening and closing shows, acting in advertising and generally being a successful and recognizable model around the world.
The great and terrible Karl Lagerfeld definitely does not consider the diastema a disadvantage.
Otherwise, how to explain his tender love for Vanessa Paradis and Georgia May Jagger? Both girls were the "faces" of the Chanel House, and with Vanessa's light hand, the gap between the teeth became a fashionable beauty trend at all. And Georgia May Jagger received the honorary title of "the new Kate Moss" for her unusual appearance.
The star of the series "True Blood" Anna Paquin is very scrupulous about her appearance.
The Oscar-winning actress considers the diastema her highlight and has no plans to get rid of it.
Of the domestic celebrities, perhaps the most famous owner of the gap between the teeth is Masha Tsigal.
The Russian designer does not even think of getting rid of the diastema, considering it an inseparable part of himself.
Singer Elena Temnikova does not consider her gap a disadvantage and smiles with pleasure at photographers.
The girl says that as a teenager, her parents forced her to wear an orthodontic plate to remove the gap between her teeth. But Lena decided in her own way: she threw out the record, and made the diastema her "chip".
Irina Toneva, a member of the Fabrika group, is not at all shy about her smile and does not consider the gap between the front teeth a disadvantage.
And yes, she is even a little proud of this "highlight" of hers. The singer believes in the omen that the gap between the teeth promises happiness to its owner…
