"Kinda seems like supermodels have the life, huh? Jetting around to exotic locales, scoring major designer wardrobes gratis, and getting up close and personal with their equally hot male counterparts on the sets of photo shoots...and yet, they never seem to smile. Until now! The fabulous French street style photographer Garance Dor&amp;amp;eacute; took to her blog the other day to talk about a fascinating change she&amp;#x27;s noticed in the spring 2011 ad campaigns: Smiling models! Both Chlo&amp;amp;eacute; and Valentino feature lovely ladies flashing their pearly whites in their latest ads, and we have to agree with Garance, it&amp;#x27;s a seriously refreshing change from all of those pouts and smirks and downright indifferent glares we&amp;#x27;ve been seeing on the pages of magazines for years now! As she puts it, &amp;quot;After years of pouting being thought of as the height of sexy, or even worse, the total non-expression (No seriously now, I what about some of the model&amp;amp;#8217;s expressions in ads, I feel like I&amp;amp;#8217;m at Madame Tussauds! Who wants to buy something after seeing those?), it makes me so happy to see some of my favorite brands (Aaaaaah la la la Chlo&amp;amp;eacute;) loosen up a bit. No joke, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think I&amp;amp;#8217;ve ever seen Malgosia&amp;amp;#8217;s smile. And I gotta tell you, I really like it, Malgosia. Aaaaaah, I&amp;amp;#8217;m sensing 2011 is going to be quite a great year.&amp;quot; Sign up for our style newsletter and get the best of our fashion blog, delivered straight to your inbox! We&amp;#x27;ve discussed the topic of &amp;quot;sunshine-y girl next door vs. intimidating steely supermodel&amp;quot; around here before, and you dolls seem to prefer the former--when we asked if Miranda Kerr looked better with severe hair and a pale complexion in her Jil Sander ads or tanned and toned for Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret, commenter tamaracat said, &amp;quot;She is so much prettier when she smiles!&amp;quot;. And a whopping 69% of you agreed! And now it looks like the high fashion powers that be may be making their way to that same conclusion, too. Even if it&amp;#x27;s just a couple of ads, it&amp;#x27;s pretty nice to see some pearly whites on supermodels, isn&amp;#x27;t it?! PLUS... - From half dressed to high fashion: Which way do you prefer the Victoria&amp;#x27;s Secret supermodels? AND! - Guess that celebrity smile!
