Celebrities on loving their imperfections

Okay, we're going to come out and say it—there is a reason Barbie is plastic—perfection is overrated. From Tyra Banks who championed 'ugly-pretty' on the hugely popular television series America's Next Top Model, to top-notch designers who look for interesting concepts (think Marc Jacobs' Spring/Summer 2015 models with absolutely no make-up on the runway), it's pretty evident that today 'imperfections' are pretty damn perfect. Take cues from these celebrities who teach you how to love your imperfections, at all times.

Flaw: Crooked nose
Flaw-less: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sex and The City made every girl want to be like Carrie Bradshaw, crooked nose and all. Why run for that nose job, then?

Flaw: Bold brows
Flaw-less: Frida Kahlo, Kajol

Fashion icon Frida Kahlo was never afraid to flaut her bushy brows, neither is Bollywood star Kajol. Why do you still want to go thinner each time?

Flaw: Crooked teeth
Flaw-less: Kirsten Dunst, Kate Moss

Dentists the world over have made their millions aligning crooked teeth. Kirsten Dunst loves her "snaggle fangs", and has gone on record to say they give her character. Kate Moss—one of the most photographed women in the world—flashes hers without a qualm!

Flaw: Freckles
Flaw-less: Emma Stone

Concealer. Perhaps the most important trick in any beauty arsenal. But is skipping it a crime? Emma Stone doesn't think so. She loves her freckles and flaunts them on the red carpet. Emma Watson and Megan Fox flash theirs regularly whether they're at Coachella or on the silver screen. Pick your battles, we say.

Flaw: Broad forehead
Flaw-less: Hilary Swank, Sonakshi Sinha

If you've got a broad forehead, get bangs. Or, don't! Hilary Swank, Malaika Arora-Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Nicole Kidman have them—and not a bang in sight.

Flaw: Unmanageable hair
Flaw-less: Kangana Ranaut

Glossy, straight hair has been the global beauty adage forever, and relaxing hair treatments make it achievable. But don't be in such a hurry to banish those curls–follow Kangna Ranaut and Sheetal Malhar who embrace their curls as do their famous curly girl counterparts Beyoncé, Keri Russell and Mariah Carey.

Flaw: Scars
Flaw-less: Padma Lakshmi

Padma Lakshmi, Catherine Zeta Jones and Tina Fey have their scars and they're not afraid to flaunt their 'war wounds'—why are you?
