KIKI GROWS UP

Posted Oct 27 2008 @ 06:52 PM

Finally pulling off a look without the sloppy effect, Kirsten Dunst actually checked herself in the mirror before heading out to a lunch date in Los Angeles on Oct 25, and it did her good! Looking casual yet polished in a plain v-neck (check out PGD’s charitable basic tee, the Morgan V Neck Tee in Clay) with dark indigo trousers (like Pierce Jeans’ Newport Perm Press Trouser in Midnight Blue) and black wedge heels, Kiki pinned her bangs to one side and carried a dainty beige purse with a chain strap (similar to Posse New York’s Catalina Bag in Tan Pearl) while shielding her face with brown bug-eye sunnies. Not the most exciting ‘fit but definitely much improved from her usual shabby threads! Why the turn around, you might be asking? Kiki strolled to her luncheon with a mystery man that is rumored to be her new beau, and I would hope the kempt appearance has to do with his presence. Though she has had a never-ending stream of romantic ties, friends say she could be settling down at last. Kiki recently dished on her past, present and future to Harper’s Bazaar: “When you spend your entire life as a child actress, being told where to go and where to stand, you’re performing constantly for people. It definitely breeds the kind of person who’s dependent on other people’s approval. If I’d trusted myself and listened to myself all the times that I ignored myself, I would have been fine. But everyone has to learn their lesson, and now I’ve got it.” Wise words to live by, no?
