Halle Bailey and Daisy Jones and the Six star Camila Morrone have been accused of having 'smartphone face'. But what is it?
Smartphones have been totally embedded in our lives for a good chunk of our lives now. Yet now, somehow, people are saying they play a part in how we look these days. The concept has been dubbed ‘smartphone face’, one that has been used to point out if certain actors can’t pull off a period drama role because they ‘look like they know what Instagram is’.
One Twitter user tweeted that this is the centre of where ‘smartphone face’ has come from: 'my personal theory for why it's impossible for hollywood to make a plausible period piece for TV/film in 2023 is cosmetic dentistry. these fake teeth simply did not exist in the 70s.’, this inevitably is a patriarchal problem.
A TikTok breaking down about which actors have ‘smartphone face’ has received over 813,000 likes and over 8000 comments. So really, is ‘smartphone face’ as a concept partially a way of blaming women, or other actors, for our own typecasting?
