Why Asian women are reclaiming tradition with teeth blackening
When Vietnamese-American singer Sailorr's first live performances resurfaced online in late 2024, it attracted a lot of attention: not just for her hypnotic music, but for her distinctive black teeth. 'So I'm not the only one distracted by her mouth?' read a comment liked nearly 2,700 times under a video of one of her performances. Against Instagram's sea of bright-white veneers , Sailorr's dark smile isn't just a fashion statement: publicly practising teeth blackening is a homecoming, a cultural reclamation that she and other artists of Asian descent, including Molly Santana and Qui Yasuka, have been reviving in recent years. A new take on a centuries-old practice Teeth aren't a new canvas for self-expression. We've become used to seeing grills and gems everywhere since about the 1980s – the trend owes much to hip-hop culture's rich influence on fashion and music. Advertisement While less known globally, Asia's traditions of dental adornment are no less culturally profound. Teeth blackening, in particular, has been practised for centuries and was regarded as a rite of passage, a marker of beauty, adulthood and refinement across the region, especially in Vietnam and Japan. In Japan, aristocrats stained their teeth with iron filings and vinegar in a practice called ohaguro from the 11th to 19th centuries. In Vietnam, nhuộm răng dates back to the Hùng King era (2879-258 BC) and made use of betel, charcoal and beeswax. In both cases, the imposition of Western beauty standards during colonial times nearly erased the practice throughout the region, explains Dr Aida Yuen Wong, professor of art history at Brandeis University. 'In Vietnam, French colonial rule engendered new beauty standards. And though Japan was never colonised, authorities banned the practice in alignment with Western ideals, driven by a desire to avoid appearing as uncivilised.' Shunned into near extinction, teeth blackening was mostly preserved by the elders – until artists like Sailorr, and Japanese-American creatives Sukii Baby and Molly Santana, reclaimed the practice and inspired a new generation of women. Beauty trend and identity politics 'I'm Vietnamese-American, so I knew of teeth blackening,' says aspiring fashion designer Mou Isabel Phung. 'But when I saw Sailorr and Sukii Baby mixing such an old traditional practice into modern fashion, I knew I wanted to do it as well.'

Meet 16-year-old Julia Butters, who stars in Freakier Friday with Lindsay Lohan
Julia Butters is only 16, but she has already built a Hollywood résumé any actor would envy. With experience working with Quentin Tarantino, Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, Butters is now stepping into her first main character role as Harper Coleman in Freakier Friday alongside Lindsay Lohan , Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray Jamie Lee Curtis, Julia Butters, Lindsay Lohan, Sophia Hammons and Chad Michael Murray at the Los Angeles premiere of their film Freakier Friday on July 22.

Butters then got her breakout moment with a role in Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood – a project that earned her a ticket to the Oscars, where she made headlines for bringing a turkey sandwich in her designer bag.

She didn't know who Leonardo DiCaprio was before she worked with him Julia Butters worked with Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood. Photo: @julia_butters/Instagram When Butters filmed Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, she was only 10 – far too young to have seen any Tarantino films or recognise her A-list co-stars. In fact, at the premiere of her own movie, she had to leave during some age-inappropriate scenes. During her audition for the part of Trudi Fraser, Tarantino handed her all 21 pages of the scene and gave her an overview of the character. When he mentioned writing the script, the young actress responded with charming candour: 'Oh, you wrote it? Well done,' she recalled in an interview with Esquire. She was cast in The Fabelmans on her 12th birthday Julia Butters worked with her idol, director Steven Spielberg, on The Fabelmans. Photo: @julia_butters/Instagram
