It’s been a long road to loving her teeth, though, as twigs toldBritish Voguein July. She shared that when she was 20, she was fully prepared to fix her “weird” teeth with a set of veneers. However, a chance meeting with photographer Alasdair McLellan changed everything.
“We were all at the pub and he was doing a shoot forBeatmagazine and he asked if I wanted to be in it,” she said. “So I turned up on the day with my hair scraped back, wearing red lipstick, and he was just like, ‘Go on, get them teeth out, open your mouth,’ and I was just like ‘What?’ Because I had such big teeth and a big gap between them, which I was really self-conscious about, I couldn’t shut my mouth properly. But he just made me forget about that. He saw something different in me, and it changed my life.”
Before getting the braces on her teeth recently, though, FKA twigs was rocking tooth gems and decals, including in hercampaign for Viktor & Rolf. As theface of new perfume, Good Fortune, she filmed the campaign in shades of purple and a magical glow.
