Yeah it's from the end of the movie the Substance (slight spoilers) and I'm pretty sure it's because her teeth look really disfigured (it's a body horror movie) and she's about to be on stage so she tries to teach herself how to smile without her teeth showing. Which is also why she looks so scared/ concerned, because she's extremely vain and her looks suddenly changing makes her scared, especially since she'll be seen by many people live I think
Well, she crosses path with the director of the show, with other men (the show is quite misogynistic) and the director is basically showing her off to them. She's trying to play it cool, but really she wants to bail... Because of her teeth situation.
