Nelly and Paul Wall said it best: “Rob the jewelry store and tell ’em make me a grill. Add da whole top diamond and the bottom row’s gold.” While the popular rap song “Grillz” was released in 2007, the decadent metal mouthpieces have been making a comeback of late. Despite their high cost—rapper Paul Wall now has a custom grills company, whose diamond-encrusted grills can cost nearly $10,000—celebrities have been jumping on the grills bandwagon. From Rihanna to Miley Cyrus, and yes, even Madonna, a look at girls who can seriously rock a set of grills.

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Cyrus acknowledges owning three sets of grills: “This is my chic one because it only has the top,” she says, describing her sleek silver grill. The singer switches to a second set: “This is my plain gold. This is when I’m trying to be chill. I’m trying to blend in...This is my chill grill!”
