Kate Middleton
Before Prince William could kiss the bride, Kate Middleton (now the Duchess of Cambridge), was rumored to have had dental work to create an improved yet natural-looking smile. "Middleton has a golden proportion smile," says Kevin Sands, DDS, a cosmetic dentist who treats celebrities in Beverly Hills. "Her four front teeth -- the ones you notice most -- are perfectly lined up. This symmetry makes for one gorgeous smile."

Brad Pitt reportedly once voluntarily chipped his teeth for the movie Fight Club. But women still swooned over his smile and all-around good looks.

Angelina Jolie
Former Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt both have famous smiles, but Jolie is known for her lips, too. "Her full, pouty lips give her a more youthful appearance," says Smigel. And she knows how to work it with dark shades of red and plum lipstick, which make her teeth appear whiter and brighter. The Oscar winner’s voluptuous lips even have their own Facebook fan page.
