Lara Stone Lara Stone showed off her curves in a sleek, sexy strapless dress by Calvin Klein.
Being beautiful is all about accepting your flaws and viewing them as your strongest assets as opposed to your weaknesses. Lara Stone refuses to fix the gap between her front teeth, and rather than apologizing for it, she is downright cheeky about it, having once told i-D Magazine, “Now every time I go to the dentist they always say, ‘You really need to fix that gap of yours.’ I’m like, ‘My gap is paying your dentist bills.’”
