Kirsten Dunst’s Costume Institute Look: Hit or Miss?

It looks like Kirsten Dunst took the “costume” part of the Costume Institute’s Party of the Year very, very seriously last night. The Spiderman 3 star turned out in a volumous Yves Saint Laurent purple frock that looks like a cross between a 20′s flapper outfit and one of Marie Antoinette’s bedsheets. While we applaud her daring (perhaps she was feeling brave after her whirlwind premiere tour these past few weeks) we’re afraid she looks a little silly. (And we’re not even talking about the pouf on her forehead.) There’s just way too much of this dress — it looks like she’s drowning under all those folds. Perhaps the pregnant Noami Watts (who looked stunning, btw, in Zac Posen) could have been forgiven for this, but Kirsten, we know you could have done better! Do you agree? Tell us: Is Kirsten’s look a hit or a miss?

To see what all your favorite stars wore, including J. Lo., Lindsay, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Jennifer Hudson and Scarlett, check out our Costume Institute gallery.

The Many Faces of Kirsten Dunst

Kirsten Dunst is out and about in a big way right now, promoting her new movie Spider-man 3 from Tokyo to London. Sure, we’re excited for the next Spidey adventure, but what’s really got us on the edge of our seats is her ever-changing makeup! She started in Tokyo (top right) with purple-tinged eyes and pale gloss, amping up the color to a bright berry for the Japanese photocall (bottom left). Once in Europe, she switched to a pale mauve lipstick and a relatively bare face for a press conference in Rome (bottom right), to wind up with dramatic dark red lips and silver eyes at the London premiere. We’re totally impressed with her versatility — and her makeup artist. Tell us: Which look do you like best for Kirsten? Nude lips, mauve lips, berry lips or dark red lips?

Kirsten Dunst Cuts Her Hair: Love It or Hate It?

New guy, new movie, new look — Kirsten Dunst has ditched the long locks that she has been sporting recently for a newly layered shoulder-length do. Celebrity fave cutter Chris McMillan, who will be responsible for the actress’s do’s while promoting her upcoming Spiderman 3, chopped Kirsten’s pale blond hair into the bob with light bangs just in time for her whirlwind press junkets. Tell us: What do you think of Kirsten’s new cut? Love it or hate it?

What Was Kirsten Dunst Thinking?

Never mind the new guy, Johnny Borrell of the British band Razorlight. What we can’t get over is what Kirsten was thinking when she put together her pub-hopping outfit on Tuesday night. Let’s start with the obvious — yellow thigh-highs with orthopedic oxfords? A dress that’s so short that it qualifies as a shirt? And the clashing bright-red Chanel purse and maroon floral scarf? Oh, Kirsten. We’re all for mix-and-matching, and London is the right place to try out eccentric fashion choices … but we can’t help but think that you’ve missed the mark on this one. Tell us: What do you think of Kirsten’s oufit? Would you ever wear it?

Sunglass Faceoff: Drew vs. Kirsten

Turns out that Drew Barrymore and Kirsten Dunst don’t just have the same taste in guys, they also have the same taste in sunglasses! We already knew that Drew loves her white-rimmed Linda Farrow Vintage sunglasses, and it turns out that Kirsten does too, wearing them all the time during her Hawaiian getaway this week. We think the glasses are a fun throwback to the wayfarer look — we told you it’d be a hot trend! — and add a funky edge to any outfit, even a bikini! We leave it up to you. Tell us: Who do you think wears the sunglasses better? Drew or Kirsten?

What Do You Think of Knee Socks?

For many of us, knee-socks are something we wore with school uniforms as children or now refer to as “trouser socks” that stay hidden under pants. But along with all things 80′s — t-shirts, haircuts, booties– they are making a resurgence as legwear meant to be seen on adults. To counteract any unflattering effects of visually blocking off your calves, be ready to flash some thigh to balance them out. Try them paired with a mini-dress, like Lindsay Lohan (left) or Molly Sims (right), or with shorts, like Kirsten Dunst (middle). Just don’t pair them with a pleated skirt unless you are going as Mary Catherine Gallagher for Halloween. Tell us: Will you try this trend? Are you going to rock knee-socks?

Get the Look of Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette opens in movie theaters today, and the buzz is already growing fast and furious about Milena Canonero’s exquisitely executed costumes. Director Sofia Coppola gave PEOPLE the scoop: “The costumes had to be an important element in the story because Marie Antoinette was so into fashion. We obviously based it on that period, but then took certain license.” We think blending the baroque and the modern is a great idea, and certainly won’t be surprised when we see celebs sporting Marie Antoinette inspired pieces on the red carpet soon. In the meantime, click through to the next page to see a few products you can get right now that nod to the young onscreen queen.
