Spotting veneers has become a sport in my household. Specifically, when it comes to the actors, singers and reality stars who have swapped their previously inconspicuous gnashers for a supersized look, often of the blinding white, gum shield-esque variety. While the quality of work varies, it’s hard to pick out a celebrity, from The Weeknd and Margot Robbie to Michael B. Jordan and Scarlett Johansson, that doesn’t have a set. Perhaps this explains all the conversation around The White Lotus’s Aimee Lou Wood, whose gappy, bucked and incredibly charming chompers have wooed the internet.
In a recent interview with Jonathan Ross, Wood says she “can’t believe the impact” her smile has had. “It feels so lovely, a real full-circle moment after being bullied for my teeth forever… Now people are clapping in an audience.” Just a few years prior, this wouldn’t have been a topic of conversation, but now, it’s hailing the return of “natural teeth”. Could it be true that we haven’t seen a set of real, characterful teeth in so long?
