Kirsten Caroline Dunst (born April 30, 1982) is an American actress, known for her roles in Interview with the Vampire (for which she received a Golden Globe nomination), The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, and Bring It On, as well as for her portrayal of Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man film series. Her feature film breakthrough came in Interview with the Vampire, a 1994 film based on Anne Rice's novel. The movie featured a scene in which Dunst, then at age eleven, received her first kiss from Brad Pitt, who was 29. Her performance earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination, the MTV Award for Best Breakthrough Performance and the Saturn Award for Best Young Actress. In 1995 (and again in 2002), she was named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People. Dunst was also offered the role of Angela in the 1999 Academy Award-winning film American Beauty, but turned it down because she did not want to appear in the film's suggestive sexual scenes or kiss co-star Kevin Spacey. The same year, she had the role of troubled adolescent Lux Lisbon in Sofia Coppola's independent film The Virgin Suicides. In 2000, she played the captain of a cheerleading squad in Bring It On. After briefly dating her longtime friend, playwright Jeff Smeenge, she started dating actor Jake Gyllenhaal in September 2002, after meeting him through his sister, Maggie (her Mona Lisa Smile co-star). They broke up in July 2004 but then dated intermittently until December 2005. She was recently seen with British rocker Johnny Borrell at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Dunst is known for her fashion style and has been featured on Richard Blackwell's famous Best Dressed List.

Kirsten Dunst seen on Sep 07 2009 in New York, NY. Kirsten Dunst emerges in SoHo, NYC on September 7 while enjoying Labor Day weekend with a girlfriend. I have to say she's looking very healthy despite decent rumors she's returned to her partying ways - what do you readers think? On her afternoon stroll Kiki wore a conservative navy sheath dress (like Graham and Spencer's Cinch Waist Dress in Navy) with a bleached denim jacket and strappy sandals, carrying a casual canvas tote (I would pair Antoinette Lee's Stella Tote in Striped Canvas with the above dress) with a simple charm necklace (like Kimberly Faith's Sign Triple Charm Necklace in Gold) decorating her 'fit. The blonde waves look so much healthier than her usual tresses, don't you think? Over the weekend KD was spotted at the Jane Hotel with a few friends, dancing and smoking but apparently abstaining from alcohol. A witness told Page Six: “She had two bodyguards hovering over her at all times who were monitoring her. Still, she looked like she was having fun.” Kiki was in rehab last year but publicly said she was treated for depression, not alcohol or drugs. Still, friends have commented recently on her occasionally out of control drinking habits, which were on display at the Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel and The Room nightclub in LA earlier this month. A witness told National Inquirer - keep the source in mind! - that Kiki was up to no good while out with a mystery male: "Kirsten looked completely wasted and holding on to some random guy. When he asked her what she was drinking, she told him to order her a double vodka on the rocks - straight vodka! He ordered himself a whiskey, got her a double and they staggered off into the crowd." She's only 27 so I can't blame Kirsten for wanting to have a little fun, but do you think it sounds like she's setting herself up for rehab again?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Aug 06 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. Here's something we only see once in a blue moon: Kirsten Dunst looking lovely in Miu Miu at the 5th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival Celebration soiree on August 6 in Los Angeles. Held at the DGA Theatre, Kiki makes her directorial debut with Demi Moore on the red carpet. Both ladies had their films shot by cinematographer Darren Lew and made the cut to have their work shown on opening night. Who says girls can't make it as directors? Kirsten worked the red carpet in a gorgeous Miu Miu strapless dress (you can buy the dress for $1,180, but you can look just as stunning at a fraction of the cost in frocks like Lotta Stensson's Shirred Tube Dress in Peacock, Rebecca Taylor's Strapless Dress in Cosair Navy or the Summer Cocktail Dress in Midnight). Love the sweetheart neckline and murky cobalt shade with her cleaned up blonde tresses. Just wish she'd picked more exciting footwear! The final touch: a dainty charm necklace (like Maya Brenner's The Everything Necklace in Gold), smoky eyes and a tinted pout. Très chic, no? I mean, even her hair looks great – this is definitely the first time her bleached tresses have looked healthy in at least a year! Kiki's 13-minute short Welcome actually debuted last summer at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, where I'm assuming it did well enough to be featured in the festival this summer. The HollyShorts festival is running this week in Hollywood until August 12. Check out the film schedule online and browse other amateur and student filmmakers' screenings. Will any of you be in attendance?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Jun 15 2009 in New York, NY. Cleaning up her act for a night with fashion's finest, Kirsten Dunst arrives at the CFDA Awards at the Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center in NYC on June 15. Now, this look is quite a contrast to her normal disheveled appearance, but I'm not convinced she deserves to be on the Best Dressed list as some critics have swooned over this look. I'll admit, when I first saw the pictures of Kirsten in this off-shoulder wrap mini (if you like the smoky shade check out Lotta Stensson's Circle Gather Dress in Grey, Cake Couture's Olivia Foil Tunic in Grey or Qi's Ruffled Tank Dress in Pale Heather Grey), Craft Time with KiKi popped into my mind. Step one: cut strips of newspaper. Step two: roll some marbles dipped in paint over the paper. Step 3: wrap oneself like a mummy and attend the CFDA Awards. What else can you say? Then I continued reading that the dress is by Rodarte, and the Mulleavy sisters took home the award for Womenswear Designer of the Year. Even if my first instincts about the design were wrong, I was right about the marbling - the dress is actually hand-marbled silk chiffon and tulle, done at the craft table just like I pictured it. Ok, nice move Kiki, your stylist picked the right dress, but is it right for you? I can't say the shades of gray look bad on Kirsten's pale frame, but I think there are probably more flattering hues for her complexion. Or at least more exciting. I do love the black and gray buckle heels by Nicholas Kirkwood, complemented by the slender silver clutch (if you need something a little roomier try CC Skye's LuLu Day Bag in Grey), but I'm not sure about the heavy black eyeliner. I guess Kirsten needed to be a little daring with her makeup since she skipped jewelry, but do you think brighter lips or more exciting hair would have been a better direction? There's just something about the whole look that seems not quite right to me – are any of you picking up on the same vibe?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Apr 19 2009 in Indio, CA. It's no secret Kirsten Dunst loves a good party, and she made her way out to Indio, CA last weekend for three days of the Coachella music festival to do just that. According to onlookers, Kiki arrived on Friday night and hung out in the VIP area, preoccupied with her Blackberry and countless cigarettes as Morrissey took the stage. On Sunday April 19, Kiki was spotted in this flirty little frock while relaxing on the grass with an icy beverage and a mysterious fellow in a straw hat. Wonder who Kiki has moved on to now - and if he's the same lucky man spotted out in LA with her a week ago! While enjoying the many musical acts, KD meandered around in a loose fitting tunic with a floral cut-out neckline (check out Cake Couture's Mexico Pleated Top in White), wearing simple flip-flops and while carrying a vintage flap bag (play up the eclectic vibe with Carla Mancini's Postman Clutch in Multi). It's a pretty sloppy look but I have to admit I like the tunic dress. Can't you see it with frayed denim shorts like Tag Jean's Lima Cut Off Short in Royal Vintage and espadrilles? So much potential! Wearing her signature Wayfarers and a couple of woven bracelets (try layering a few Single Leather Bracelets by Accessories & Beyond, which come in a myriad of candy colors) along with her wristband, Kiki looked like she enjoyed herself even if it was a little steamy in the desert. Did any of you make your way out there for the festivities? Back in LA-LA Land, talks about the Spiderman 4 sequel have been in the works for quite some time, but there's some question as to whether or not Kiki will reappear as Mary Jane for a fourth time. No one knows for sure if it's Kirsten refusing to commit or if the studio execs wised up and decided to find a real actress, but my money is on the studio. I mean, it's not like Kiki has a lot going on career wise (How to Lose Friends and Alienate People wasn't exactly her best film) so I don't see how she could be crazy enough to turn down such a high-profile role! Sony is tight-lipped about the project, but director Sam Raimi dished a little info: “Right now, [scriptwriter] David Lindsay-Abaire is working on a draft of the new picture. And he’s hard at work, and hopefully we’ll see something in about three months.” Guess we'll have to wait and see how the casting pans out!
Kirsten Dunst seen on Mar 25 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. Kirsten Dunst has been staying away from the shutterbugs lately, but she ventured out in Los Angeles on March 25. Enjoying the winter sunshine, Kiki picked up food to go from Joan’s on Third with a girlfriend before heading over to the park at the La Brea Tar Pits. The pair met up with two male friends and spent the afternoon stretched on a blanket having a seemingly great time. For her afternoon fun in the sun, Kiki wore basic skinny jeans (try Tag Jeans’ super comfy Skinny 5 Pocket Jean in Medium Stone) with a timeless white tee (spice it up with Ecoganik’s Supima Jersey Sleeve Pin Tuck Top in White) and coordinating white flats. Staying hydrated and carrying a brown shoulder bag (check out Carla Mancini’s Messenger Bag in Honey Glaze), Kiki rocked her fav Ray Bans and laughed it up with her pals. What do you think of the uber casual look? On a less sunny note, it looks like Kirsten is still dealing with her stolen purse incident from last year. If you recall, Kiki had her Balenciaga bag full of cash, her camera and about $2000 worth of loot inside snatched from her hotel room in NYC while filming How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. The crooks were caught on camera, so the first plead guilty and got four years in jail for the crime. The second burglar, James Jimenez, has a trial date scheduled in May and it looks like Kiki might have to testify against him. You’d think the whole ordeal would be over by now since the purse was stolen over the summer in 2007! Have any of you had to deal with prolonged legal battles over stolen items like this?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Dec 19 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Not missing a chance to toast to the holidays, Kirsten Dunst stumbled out of Bardot nightclub in Hollywood on Dec 19 for the second time last week. Though her first night out was spent with a gal pal, this time Kiki was escorted out of the bar by a mystery man helping her keep her balance. Clad in a typical lackluster ensemble, KD started with an old fashioned polka dot frock (create your own holiday look with Zoa’s Polka Dot Ruffle Blouse in Black with a loose skirt like Shumaq’s Satin Bell Skirt in Black) with a long camel hooded overcoat (try Ingwa Melero’s elegant Velvet Coat with Frog Closure in Espresso) and comfy wedge heels. Feeling festive with her cherry red Chanel purse (though it’s a different shape, Rocco e Dante’s Rocco East West Bag in Red Patent is to die for), matching lacquered nails and lips, at least Kiki looked like she enjoyed her fun filled night. What do you think of the ‘fit? Though the night out was a bit premature, KD did have something important to celebrate over the weekend: a Los Angeles judge awarded her request for a permanent restraining order against her psycho stalker Christopher R. Smith. After he was arrested trying to break into her home in November, Mr. Smith was placed under a 72 hour psychiatric hold, during which he claimed that he and Kirsten have a “spiritual connection” spanning from a past life. In his statement to police, Mr. Smith said: “I’m in love with Kirsten, so I went to her house, I don’t want to go to jail. I hope to get off with a warning. I connected with Kirsten spiritually, I felt like I connected with her and she connected with me. Now I don’t know if she did, I guess you have to ask her if she connected.” With all the crazies in the world, hopefully this one will be deterred by the seriousness of the restraining order – for Kiki’s sake!
Kirsten Dunst seen on Dec 17 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Not letting the unrelenting rain prevent her from having a good time, Kirsten Dunst stumbled out of Bardot late at night on December 17. Exiting the popular Hollywood club with a gal pal steadying her stride, Kiki rocked a flamboyantly short charcoal mini dress (try PGD Style’s Rachel Turtle Neck Dress in Smoke) with black ribbed thigh highs, black pumps and a classy black overcoat (like Shumaq’s Corinnes Coat in Black). Letting her gray quilted chain strap pocketbook (similar to Julie K’s Gigi Mini Bag in Pewter) swing freely at her side, Kiki accented her ‘fit with a flashy silver band ring (like Femme Metale’s Crown Ring in Silver) and festive poinsettia red nail polish. Though she looks quite inebriated, this is one of the few times I have nothing bad to say about KD’s choice of dress – except maybe to add a few inches to the hem to cover up those pasty white thighs. Guess Kiki stayed out of the sun when she was in Miami last week! I must also comment that this is the second time in a month that KD has been seen noticeably intoxicated in public. Less than a year after her stint in rehab, perhaps Kiki’s partying is spiraling out of control once again? Recently commenting on her teenage years spent building her acting career, KD shed some light on her desire to let loose: “I was always very responsible and sensible. I went through my teens like an adult, always being careful not to stay out too late or get myself into trouble. I was working and getting up very early to be on film sets. I become isolated. I felt like the one with the responsibility who made important decisions." It seems the tables have turned now, with Kiki turning up in more hot nightspots than big screen flicks these days. Do you think it may be time for an intervention?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Dec 04 2008 in Miami, FL. Soaking up the brilliant sunshine in Miami with a hefty dose of art and culture, Kirsten Dunst headed south for the Art Basel 2008 fair on Dec 4. Strolling with an icy Starbucks drink, Kiki tucked a black spaghetti strap tank (try PGD Style’s Fancy Tank in Black), sans bra, into a loose fitting white skirt (try Shumaq’s Linen Pencil Skirt in White) with strappy black flats. I immediately have to wonder, what’s up with the saggy, braless look? Did LiLo give her some style tips? Adding a couple of long pendant necklaces (check out Castaway’s Bone with Anchor Emblem Pendant Necklace in Gold with an angular necklace like Christie Martin’s personalized Long Tag Necklace in 14K Gold), tortoise shell Wayfarers and a woven hippie messenger bag (if you like canvas bags, try Antoinette Lee’s more refined Stella Tote in Striped Canvas), there seemed to be two contrasting themes going on in this ‘fit and I’m not loving it. It’s not that I don’t like Kirsten’s style; I just don’t get it. There are always clashing elements to her ‘fits, and it never makes sense – like the shoes and bag: cute separately, but not together. Whatever the occasion, Kiki almost always looks sloppy and unprepared. I have to wonder why this is so – is she just clueless when it comes to style, or does she really not care what she looks like or what anyone says about her? Such a mystery! Another mystery in Kiki’s life involves whether or not she’s dating Jacob Soboroff, the director she’s been working with making a documentary about the history behind the US presidential voting rules. The two took a trip to North Dakota together on Election Day to witness the only state that doesn’t require voter registration, and were spotted having a few lunch dates recently. Earlier this week Kiki’s publicist swiftly denied rumors the two are a couple, but an “insider” has confirmed they are definitely dating. Either way, Jacob is quite the smarty pants, getting his masters from NYU in political theory and philosophy and working as a commentator for a variety of news outlets. You have to wonder what draws him to a girl like Kiki? It’s a mystery…
Kirsten Dunst seen on Oct 25 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. 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?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Oct 16 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. Looking a little sloppy, Kiki exited a lavish store opening party for the Ten Over Six boutique in West Hollywood on Oct 16. Before I move on to the ‘fit, I must remark that it’s definitely noticeable KD had her fill of complementary champagne – and only 6 months since she left rehab! Though her Cirque stint was for depression, not drinking, you’d think they’d have told her one definitely does not help the other! Unfortunately, I’m not sure Kiki ever learns… and someone should have told her that yellow, black and booze is so not a good look for her. Starting with a chic black knee length dress (check out Black Halo’s Pleated Bodice Dress in Black or Smitten’s Empire Pleated Dress in Black), black wedges (Matiko’s Sassy Wedge in Black Patent would have been a nice touch) and a black headband, the ‘fit would have been okay if she hadn’t added the questionable yellow swing jacket with a detachable cape – that should have been left in the store instead of a reattached on the way out – and the studs along the bottom are particularly problematic for me (a better fitting version like Kushcush’s Three Button Coat in Yellow would have been much better). On a positive note, the dainty metallic chain strap purse she’s carrying does soften the look (try Antoinette Lee's new Mia Bag in Gold)… if only there wasn’t so much bulky yellowness going on! At the bash, Kiki mingled with Brady Cunningham, an up-and-coming LA designer who owns the new boutique, and was all smiles for the press inside – presumably before she had a bit too much bubbly and left the soiree. Lucky for her, she did have a reason to celebrate: her career is finally getting back on track, with Spiderman 4 officially in the works and Kiki expected to continue portraying her role as Mary Jane. Another upside down kiss, anyone?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Oct 05 2008 in Paris, France. Playing the part of a casual tourist perfectly, Kirsten Dunst made her way to Paris to attend Fashion Week, making time for some sightseeing on Oct 5. Though she did look refreshingly lady-like when she attended Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 09 show with Kate Bosworth, her sightseeing ‘fit was another typical mismatched Kiki creation. You’d think being in Paris would inspire her to clean up her act! Instead, Kiki channeled the Parisian vibe with her green beret and quilted Chanel-inspired black chain strap purse (I love Julie K's more affordable Gigi Mini Bag in Pewter), adding a loose fitting cardigan (try Holly’s more tasteful Solid Cardigan in Burgundy) over a drab purple tee (Woo’s Kathy Tee in Grey Clay is a better fitting basic) taking it down a notch. Completely her look with casual trousers (like Denim of Virtue’s Kindress Trouser Flap Pocket in Clay) and pointy black boots, KD almost would have passed for a European had she left her bug-eye sunnies at home in the states. Such a shame! Besides making a rare appearance at fashion week, lately Kiki has opened up about her whirlwind childhood breaking out as an actress. From having her first kiss with Brad Pitt on the set of Interview with a Vampire to her wild partying ways as of late, KD has definitely learned her share of lessons, telling the press, “I have had to grow up very fast in the adult world of acting. I already know that if I have a child, I will never put them through this. I do have regrets. I regret I've done so much in such a short time and regret some of the decisions taken on my behalf.” Not the first time I’ve heard a celeb say they’d never let their kid get into the business at a young age. Makes you wonder, where were Kiki’s parents when she made all of these regretful decisions?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Sep 16 2008 in New York, NY. Laying low while getting comfy in her new Soho digs, Kirsten Dunst made yet another sloppy appearance in NYC on Sept 16 at the long anticipated premiere of Hounddog, starring Dakota Fanning. For all her recent talk about how at peace she is with life after rehab, the girl seriously needs to hire a stylist and be at peace with her closet! Seriously, Dakota looks more put together, and she’s like what, 12? Breaking down her look, Kiki started with a high waist black skirt with skinny suspenders (try Tricia Fix’s much classier Kara Skirt in Black, sans suspenders), tucked in an electric blue cami (Miguelina’s Francine Top in Royal Blue would work), with a long pendant necklace (check out Rachel Leigh’s Rose Pave Pendant in Gold) and a sparkly black clutch (see Julie K’s Natalie Sleek Clutch in Black Python). A little frumpy, but otherwise not so bad, until your eyes are blinded by the white ballet flats. What could possibly have possessed Kirsten to wear flats with this, and white ones at that? The skirt screams “heels!” and so do the ill-placed suspenders! Lastly, the disheveled hair and slight sheen on her face where foundation should be… oh Kiki, whatever happened to your Bring It On preppy, polished days? Taking a break from the spotlight, KD recently sat down with Harper’s Bazaar for a tell-all cover story for the October issue. Among the many things she said, by far the best is her denial of anything romantic going on between her and Justin Long: “[The rumors] are the funniest thing on planet Earth. I don’t know him from Adam. I met him once and he and his friend were kind enough to walk me home. I’ve never seen him since.” Oh, really? Was that the “once” you were ratted out being “all over him” on the way back to his hotel, or the “once” you spent the day in LA at the Sunset Junction street fair, sipping on margaritas? There may not be photographic evidence of the first rendezvous but there definitely is of the second… who’s telling the truth here?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Sep 03 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Kirsten Dunst went out for a walk with her pooch in Hollywood on September 3, looking casually cute on her way to meet friends for dinner. Kiki’s been taking it easy lately in between projects, and her style has taken a little dip as well, but I have to say I think she’s starting to redeem herself here. Wearing a super casual green t-shirt dress (check out Woo’s Gina Dress in Fiji Blue), with a mod double closure belt (like Rock Paper Scissors’ Clamshell Reversible Belt in Black/Grey), funky woven sandals (try Matiko’s Claire Flat in Whiskey), and her fav rounded black sunnies, KD carried an oversized tote bag (try the similar shape of Antoinette Lee’s Stella Tote in Royal) with an iron grip on her dog’s leash. Kiki’s latest flick, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, will premiere next month, but it seems like the title is already becoming a sort of prophecy come true for her. During filming, Kiki’s penthouse hotel room was burglarized, and now she might have to testify in court. Although one of the crooks plead guilty to stealing her $13k Marc Jacobs bag and was sentenced to 4 years in jail last week, it looks like the other thief is going to let a jury decide his fate. If the proceedings continue, Kiki will have to take the stand to affirm that all goods taken belonged to her, including her cell, 2 digital cameras, Balenciaga bag and $2,500 in cash (Yikes! Why carry so much cash, KD? I mean, NY is famous for muggings!) Sadly, even though the thieves were caught, neither of the pricey bags have been returned to Kiki yet… bet she’s anxious to see her goods home safe and sound! On top of her legal woes, rumor has it that during the filming, KD had the author of the book the film is based on kicked off the set. Toby Young recently explained to the press, “She overheard me giving the producer a ‘note’ on her performance in a particular scene. At the time, I didn’t think of it as a criticism, more as a helpful bit of advice, and the producer took it in that spirit. But Kirsten overheard this exchange and interpreted it as a complaint about her acting ability. It was after this, apparently, that she took Bob (Weide, the director) to one side and asked if I could be kept at arm’s length in future.” What do you think – was Kiki wrong to be offended, or is Toby just trying to get his 15 mins of fame?
Kirsten Dunst seen on Aug 23 2008 in Palm Springs, CA. Trying her best to look indie, Kirsten Dunst appeared at the Palm Springs International Film Society’s Shortfest on August 23 looking a lot more shabby than chic. Let’s call this a “vintage” shirt dress, although it is much more of a shirt than a dress (hope she’s wearing shorts underneath!). I say “vintage” rather than “ragged” because it does have some kind of print and cute little buttons up the front, if you overlook the raw threads hanging from the bottom and the awkward collar that may or may not have a hole in it. To properly pull off the shirt dress trend, try Smitten’s Belted T Shirt Dress in Army Green or liven things up a bit with Cake Couture’s printed Shirt Dress in Mosaic Tile, both much more polished versions that Kiki’s attempt. Don’t get me wrong, the sassy shirt dress look is easily attainable, but just make sure that a) the dress is long enough that you can raise your arms without flashing all the old geisers in Palm Springs and b) just because the shirt might be men’s doesn’t mean your footwear should be too. KD added some seriously hideous black loafers (try Matiko’s Claire Flat in Whiskey for a more feminine version) and a black messenger style bag (like Linea Pelle’s Dylan Shoulder Messenger Bag in Black), finishing her ‘fit with a simple silver ring (like Femme Metale’s Rectangle Ring in Silver) and a couple of slender bracelets. Always under scrutiny for her ever-evolving love life, KD was again spotted getting hot and heavy with Justin Long at the Sunset Junction Festival in Los Angeles before scurrying off to Palm Springs for the film festival on Saturday evening. Unlike other high maintenance celebs who hire drivers, Kiki arrived in her Prius, with her hair in a messy bun and no make-up. Then again, maybe she was wearing make-up when she left LA, and the intense desert heat melted it off her face. Whose idea was it to host the film festival in the middle of summer, anyway? KD attended the festival for the screening of her first directorial debut, writing and producing “Welcome,” a 13 minute ghost film. Kirsten said of her leap from acting to directing, “My friend Bryce (Dallas Howard) had done it, and Gwyneth Paltrow and a lot of people I really care about had done it. It was a nice platform to start my — hopefully — directing career.” Kiki wasn’t the only female celeb who made into the director’s chair – Jessica Biel and Kate Hudson also had films that made the cut. Well done, ladies!
Kirsten Dunst seen on Aug 10 2008 in Venice, CA. On a casual California Sunday, Kirsten Dunst was out doing what every 20-something loves to do: lunch with the parents! Looking slightly less putrid than usual, KD dined with her rents in Venice, CA on August 10 before trotting off on her celly, cig in hand. I have to say, what’s with the cancer sticks, Kiki? Don’t turn your teeth as yellow as your hair! Besides her bad habits, Kirsten looked cute in a black frock with Mexican-style embroidery around the ruffle collar (see Cake Couture’s Pink Tolume Wrap Dress in Black for a more flattering south-of-the-border look) and wore stacked black flats (check out Matiko’s similar gold pick, the Birdy Wedge in Gold) with a long silver pendant necklace (try Fabian y Felipe’s Abundance Medallion Necklace). Kiki carried her fav patterned tote (check out the similar shape and cool texture of the Nicole Flat Bag in Night Exotic by Julie K) and blocked out the sun with her stealth black sunnies (like JeeVice’s Divine in Black). In addition to her shopping and dining outing with mom and dad, KD was spotted at Hollywood’s Green Door club on Friday night, dancing it up with her girl friends. KD was also there a few nights earlier with her mama for the renowned jazz night that her All Good Things co-star Ryan Gosling made his DJ debut at a few weeks ago. Despite the fact that he was seen leaving the event with former flame Rachel McAdams, I was shocked to dig up reports that Kiki and Gosling had a little fling while filming their flick back in May. Could KD be moving in on Rachel’s man like she moved in on Justin Long last month? Let’s hope not – two homewrecking romances is two too many!
Kirsten Dunst seen on Jul 28 2008 in New York, NY. Kirsten Dunst sported a much improved look as she meandered around Soho with a gaggle of gal pals on Monday, July 28. Note that “much improved” does not necessarily mean this look works for her! Kiki wore a playful sailor frock with fun pockets and stripes on the collar, just a bit too potato-sack looking on her tiny frame (if you like the nautical look, check out more wearable versions like Parameter’s Metallic Cargo Tunic in Ivy and Miguelina’s Melanie Dress in Marine). KD kept her look very, very simple with black ballet flats (try Matiko’s Tahira Wedge in Black for a not-so-plain version), standard black sunnies (similar to JeeVice’s Sassy in Black), and tamed the blonde mane in a basic ballerina bun. On a side note, her friends all looked cute in their summer dresses with flats and fun jewelry – not sure why they didn’t give Kirsten some tips to spice up her ensemble! Since she has finished filming All Good Things with Ryan Gosling, KD is taking some time to enjoy the intellectual side of life, adding art and politics to her agenda (let that sink in for a minute). Kiki attended 303 Gallery’s 25th anniversary gala last week, where she mingled with other celebs and artists while checking out the futuristic exhibit. The Crazy/Beautiful star is gearing up to rock the vote this fall and threw out this random factoid at the party, “It’s all about America’s agrarian roots, see? November is the end of harvest, and the Tuesday vote allowed Sabbath-observing country folk enough time to horse-and-buggy it to the polling stations before Wednesday market.” KD was explaining the documentary she is going to make this fall, advocating the idea that voting day should be a national holiday so more people can make it to the polls. Whatever gets you in the voting booth, Kiki!
Kirsten Dunst seen on Jul 16 2008 in New York, NY. Kirsten Dunst was out for stroll in NYC’s Soho on July 16, looking fresh faced and ready to take on the… peroxide bottle? Looks like she’s ailing for a straightener and deep conditioning treatment, on the dubs! Kirsten’s trailer-trash-meets-urban-chic look began with a breezy white mini dress (Rails’ Lydia Mini Dress in White is a much cuter version), funky white shades (like JeeVice’s Red Hot in Ice White), and took a turn for the worse with a plaid jacket tied around her waist and retro Chuck Taylor sneaks. This is the second time this month KD has been spotted in Soho wearing plaid – leave it for the lumberjacks babe! If you’re a flannel fan, try 3J Workshop’s Canyon Country Hooded Shirt in Brown for a more refined look. Kirsten accessorized with a fun bauble ring (like Femme Metale’s Carnelian Caged Gem Ring), and enjoyed her essential coffee and cigarettes while grooving to her iPod. Apart from her trainwreck threads, things are looking up for KiKi on all fronts. After a successful stint in rehab for “depression,” Kirsten will star in the new mystery flick All Good Things with Ryan Gosling, which wrapped last month. The latest love gossip reveals KD has moved on from DJ Matt Creed and is getting cozy with Justin Long. The duo was spotted in NYC holding hands and canoodling yesterday, a mere week after Long’s split with Drew Barrymore. A source said, “They stayed out all night and Kirsten was all over him and kept leaning in to kiss him.” On another positive note: Kirsten must be relieved that the drug-dealer-thief-creeper who snatched her $13,000 Marc Jacobs handbag from her hotel room last year (with over 2g’s in cash/cards, digital cameras and iPod inside) will face up at least 4 years in prison after pleading guilty last week. Justice is served!
Kirsten Dunst seen on Jul 08 2008 in Soho, New York. The elusive Kirsten Dunst was spotted going for a stroll through Soho on July 8, giving a (not so) subtle endorsement for Obama by carrying his issue of Rolling Stone along with her. KiKi's street style for the day was cool and casual, sporting a rumpled-looking plaid shirt (check out 3J Workshop's vibrant San Simeon Shirt in Pink)with denim short-shorts (like Joe's Jeans' High Waist Trouser Shorts in Raven) and black leather wedges. Kirsten finished her outfit off with black shades (similar to JeeVice Optics' Edgy Sunglasses in Black) and an eco-friendly, over the shoulder cotton bag. Way to be green, KD! In related KiKi news, it seems that the Crazy/Beautiful actress might have nabbed herself a new man! Rumors are swirling that Dunst is dating DJ Matt Creed, the DJ at Beatrice Inn, as a source close to Kirsten says that "she has become a regular at Beatrice. She's there almost every night of the week to dance, smoke and let loose." I'm sure the fact that Matt's there DJing doesn't hurt, either! However, another friend of KiKi's says that "there is nothing romantic going on" between the two... which source to believe??
Kirsten Dunst seen on Dec 28 2007 in Century City, CA. Kirsten Dunst was spotted in Century City, California on Friday, December 28 getting her morning caffeine jolt at a local Starbucks. Before the holiday, Kirsten was frequently spotted hiking at Runyon Canyon in her signature "indie exercise" look and at Whole Foods making sure to follow the celebrity favorite organic diet. Sporting her signature all black look, Dunst starts her morning off early catching up on the latest current events with her copy of The New York Times. Even in California, one must still stay warm in the crisp winter weather. Beginning her look with a pair of UGGs, the boots showed her only sign of color in this wardrobe. On top, Kirsten sported a black pea style coat (similar to Ecoganik's French Terry Detachable Hoodie Jacket in Black) paired with a scarf to ensure her warmth for the early morning breeze. Like every other Hollywood starlet (especially Lohan), Kirsten sported an all black tight on the bottom (just like Laura Dahl's Longfellows Leggings in Noir). Kirsten made sure to follow all of the latest celebrity trends with the both the tights and drinking the signature "Jennifer Aniston" water, smartwater; not her only time spotted sporting this now famous water. Dunst has been making sure she gets her daily water needs to be in tip top shape for the fourth installment of the Spider-Man franchise. Dunst has confirmed that she and Tobey will both be starring in the fourth installment, and that this will most likely be her last; the movie is set to hit the big screen in 2011. It is unsaid the exact number that Kirsten finally agreed for the fourth installment, but rumor has it she was offered as much as 50 million after refusing previous smaller offers. Whether or not the number is true, it can be assumed that she was given a very pretty penny to star in the fourth installment. With all this extra cash, maybe Dunst will spend some of the money on adding some dazzle and color to her outfit. Or, maybe her new "indie" look will continue and rub off on some of Hollywood's other leading ladies. Whether or not it does, you know we will be providing you with all of the ladies' latest trends.
