Icon-t Get Enough of Her Look: Kirsten Dunst


 In the early 2000's, Kirsten Dunst was THE it-girl on the big screen and red carpet.  A few missteps in her career - and personal style - and she dropped off Hollywood's radar.

But now, in 2011, she's back an better than ever.  As the new face of Bulgari, Dunst is getting critical praise for her movie roles, and also street cred for her sublime fashion choices of late.  That, and her fabulous "lob" haircut.  Not only have I copied her latest chop, I'm also getting ideas from her closet.


Here, Dunst wears a bold, marigold Chloe dress with the slightest accessory of stud earrings.  With a look-at-me color like that, why add more?


In this gorgeous dress, Dunst leaves all eyes on her detailed frock with no accessory other than her braided hairstyle.  She perfects it all with simple makeup - a pretty pink lip with downplayed eyes.  The combination of it all works magically with her fair skin.  Hollywood starlets with spray tans and heavy eyeliner could take a few notes from Dunst here.


Dunst leaves the spotlight on her Chanel dress by foregoing on accessories altogether.  An unfussy updo is the perfect accent to a metallic bodice and intricately-skirted dress.


Again in a Chanel dress, she modernizes a 1930's Hollywood look by mixing black and navy - all while keeping it sophisticated with a simple clutch, blazer and hairstyle.


Old Hollywood glamour comes to life again as Dunst dones this Rodarte dress on the red carpet.  This time, she resembles a modern-day 50's bombshell with a mermaid cut and retro curls.


Though her fashion statements of late have been mostly feminine dresses, Dunst shined in a perfectly tailored Patrik Ervell tux.  An easy chignon played up the look, along with classic black pumps.

Kirsten Dunst has made an in-ignorable presence on the red carpet this year.  She's brought something fresh and exciting to a fashion world filled with an abundance of metal hardware, over-exaggerated shoulder pads, and Gaga-like stunts as of late.  It's a welcome change and I hope this is only the beginning of much more to come.
