Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu

Kirstendunst Flawless skin, scarlet lips, blood red nails, icy blue eyes and flaxen hair combined like this make me go weak at the knees. Miu Miu is making it hard for me to join the hate squad on Kiki Drunkst.

I tend to like dark looks better than the vaguely Aryan ones of the sort Dunst possesses. But every once in a while, usually with the help of PhotoShop, the typical blonde-and-blue thing works for me in a big way.

(Aside: I have been told by more than one person that I remind them of Kirsten Dunst. I have never, ever been able to see it. But here, I think there is a similarity between our eyes. Any likeness starts and ends there, though.)

I have to defend my league:-): any blonde with tasteful makeup and chic style looks gorgeous!

Oh, I really wasn't trying to slight anyone! I'm just saying that fair-haired and light-eyed usually doesn't stop me dead in my tracks the way this look did. I'm sure there are deep psychological reasons behind my bias...

I think it's the flawless skin that makes her look so amazing in a shot like this. I'm sure there's a degree of photoshopping going on, but man, she looks good.

I like the look, very 40's glamour. On the flip side I would never walk out looking like this...even for a big night out. Even though I have fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair I would feel like I was in stage make up. I also don't see Kirsten employing this look. Have you seen her in her natural element? Not so good. But, for a fashion shoot, yes it works.

Yeah - as Jacq said, lots of PhotoShop here. Kirsten usually is pictured with sort of grey, dull skin. She's a heavy smoker, so no surprise there.

But trust me: If I could look like this, I would. Every day.

You look nothing like Kirsten Dunst. You look much prettier ;-)
