Bazaar magazine claims Kirsten Dunsts smile not airbrushed on cover

June 2024 · 2 minute read

Kirsten Dunst has taken a lot of crap for her teeth over the years. For some reason she has never fixed her smile, even though she has prominent snaggle teeth. Honestly, every time I write a story about her there’s inevitably a few “why hasn’t she corrected that?” comments, even though none of the topics has ever been Kirsten’s mouth. So it does draw a distracting amount of attention. But I kind of like that she doesn’t feel the need to be exactly like everyone else and accepts herself for who she is. I also have a really bad overbite, so I might be sort of jaded and defensive.

All that said, it’s pretty clear Kirsten’s smile was photoshopped for the cover of October’s issue of Bazaar. However everyone over there claims that’s not the case – which would mean Kirsten’s smile miraculously – and temporarily – improved.

Say, what happened to Kirsten Dunst’s teeth? They’re looking so … straight! Dunst sports a brighter, whiter and less crooked grin on the October cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, prompting some to wonder if the famously snaggle-toothed star finally paid a visit to a cosmetic dentist.

It’s no secret that airbrushers run rampant on glossy magazine covers, but approving such a touch-up would be uncharacteristic for the “Spider-Man” star. Dunst – who recently split from summer love Justin Long – has always embraced her uneven smile, despite pressures from Hollywood and her own family.

“That’s one of the things I like about me. Messed-up teeth are so sexy,” she has said.

“Kirsten has a lovely smile and clearly she is happy to be on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar,” a spokesperson for the mag told WWD.com. “Her teeth were not fixed on the cover or on the inside pages.”

I’m not sure if messed up anything is sexy, but whatever. I’d be fine with Kirsten fixing her teeth. And on a close-up head shot like that, I’d be fine with Bazaar photoshopping it. You can’t really blame them – otherwise the cover would be a distraction instead of an attraction. It just bugs me that it’s pretty clear that they’re insulting us with their lie and instead kissing Kirsten’s ass. We’ve got eyes. They do work. Those are not the same smiles. Thanks.

Here’s Kirsten at the NYC premiere of “Hounddog” on September 16th – well after the Bazaar shoot. Snaggle tooth still intact. Images thanks to Fame.
