Teeter From Yellowstone Is Gorgeous In Real Life

Fan-favorite character Teeter from the modern Western "Yellowstone" is a force of nature. When she's not slinging borderline unintelligible insults or indulging in foul-mouthed colloquialisms, the audience might find Teeter throwing punches and bullying cattle with the sheer strength of her personality. Naturally, Teeter's looks and mannerisms have been curated to play into her gritty and untamable character.

On the show, Teeter's signature pink hair is often tucked sloppily under an old baseball cap, and her wardrobe consists almost exclusively of weathered jeans, loose button-ups, and tank tops that have seen better days. This isn't about cute Westerncore, cowgirl-inspired vibes — Teeter's wardrobe could most kindly be called "functional." And since she's a dedicated ranch hand who's more concerned about getting the job done than how she looks doing it, makeup is rightfully out of the question.

To put it simply, Teeter is an earthy soul who doesn't give two hoots about her appearance. However, actor Jen Landon, who portrays Teeter so thoroughly on set, is absolutely striking elsewhere. From jaw-dropping photoshoots and red-carpet looks to some of the other characters lurking in her filmography, Landon has showcased many styles throughout the years — not to mention, her own natural beauty.

For audiences who only know actor Jen Landon from her work on "Yellowstone," it can come as a big surprise to see her walk the red carpet. Landon sparkles in front of the paparazzi, and that's before even taking her wardrobe into account. With an eclectic style and a willingness to experiment, Landon showcases a wide variety of aesthetics — and, in our humble opinion, pulls off all of them.

One of Landon's most stunning looks to date has to be the bronze gown she wore for a People magazine shoot in 2023. Landon jokingly said that she took a shower and "put makeup on for the first time in four years" to capture the alluring photo — a far cry from her days spent embodying Teeter. As the actor quipped about her usual routine, "At the end of some days, it's like, what's the point? Because you were in cow poo poo all day and you're going to be in cow poo poo the next day."

Landon also cleans up nicely for events. For instance, she looked whimsical and flawless in her floral suit for the 2022 SAG Awards. The actor was also elegant at the New York City premiere of "Yellowstone" Season 5, wearing a simple and sleek black gown with dramatic yet tasteful icicle earrings. At the 2023 CMT Music Awards, Landon took a more playful approach, repping Teeter energy in a black leather vest and leather pants combo, complete with a cowboy hat. We wouldn't quite call it Western, feminine, country couture because of its sharp lines, and not everyone could have pulled off such a literal ensemble, but Landon managed to make it look fierce.

Jen Landon clearly knows how to put herself — and her personal style — aside to inhabit a character. But looking at Landon's role as Teeter, "Yellowstone" fans might be shocked once more to learn that Landon has spent a lot of her acting career appearing on soap operas like "The Young and the Restless," "Days of Our Lives," and, most notably, "As the World Turns" — for which Landon shot approximately 500 episodes and earned herself three Daytime Emmy Awards.

Of course, the world of soap operas isn't always for the faint of heart. Appearing on The Glamor & Grit podcast, Landon recalled being very beauty-conscious as a young actor. "I was concerned with being prettier," Landon confessed about her early days acting in soap operas. "I was not physically able to even look better, and ... I had a raging eating disorder." 

It can be incredibly difficult to stop comparing yourself to unrealistic beauty standards. However, Landon's awe of the model-esque looks of her soap-opera co-stars and peers evolved into a more inclusive and body-positive mission. "I really had this feeling ... that it was very important that I make it okay for people to feel good about what they look like," Landon explained, confessing that she went so far in the other direction that she sometimes had to be directed to act less normal and everyday — or at least stop picking her teeth on camera. We're just going to say it: That's some low-key Teeter energy.
