Kirsten Dunst in Valentino: tacky, budget or genuinely cute?

fp_6189656_ram_all_good_things_premiere_120110

These are photos of Kirsten “Kiki” Dunst last night at the All Good Things premiere in New York. I covered the trailer for the film here – I think it looks really, really good. Kiki costars with Ryan Gosling (who was oddly not at the premiere) as a young, rich New York couple in the 1980s. Kiki (as the young wife) gets murdered, I think, and Gosling is the top suspect. I really don’t know why he didn’t show up for the premiere… it’s very odd.

Anyway, Kiki wore this fug Valentino – what the hell is going on with the sleeves/cuffs? They’re some weird little off-white swirls that have absolutely no place on this dress. But you know what? Even if you took the swirls off, the dress would be at best boring and at worst, budget. Kiki can do so much better when she puts her mind to it – I guess she was trying to not do her little vintage/flea market/consignment shop fashions for once, but therein lies the problem: she has bad taste when she’s picking out stuff from current designers. Just my opinion.

I will give her some credit though – she looks sober, and her hair and makeup are solid. The little bob haircut is especially cute.

    Not loving it =/

  2. brin says:

    Yeah, I don’t like the sleeves at all.
    She wears some off beat stuff. Do like her hair, tho.

  3. susanne says:

    Nope.

    She looks loaded. Major eye wonk.

  4. Arianna says:

    without the cuff/sleeve things yes, but ugh this isnt edgy or high fashion it’s heinous.

    i do really love her hair!

  5. NayNay says:

    I like her haircut.

  6. Lori says:

    I think she looks cute. I do wish she’d find a better bra, though — all clothes would look better with her girls supported!

  7. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    OMG Its looks pretty bad to me. Not very flattering to her body at all.

  8. carrie says:

    unflattering! she needs a better bra

  9. DetRiotgirl says:

    Lose the cuff things and that ugly tank top bit. Well, no. Then she would just look like she was wrapped up in my grandmother’s table cloth. So, yeah, this is just a bad look all around.

  10. gabs says:

    The hair and makeup is great but there is something off about the dress. I dont hate it but I dont love it. I wonder why Ryan wasnt there. weird.

  11. francesca says:

    She looks just like Gwynnie in a couple of the pics.

  12. sharylmj says:

    I wish someone would hold her shoulders back and make her stand up straight!! her posture drives me crazy!!! I think she looks good here.. don’t love the dress though.. but her hair looks shiny and healthy. I like her with this hair length.

  13. Bubbling says:

    Don’t care about granny love dress, sleeves are killing me, but this is the best she looked in long time

  14. Alexa says:

    In spite of the fact that the dress is not the most figure flattering to her (or anyone most likely), she’s thin enough to get away with it. I like the classic sexiness of the dress’s black lace contrasted with the primness of the jewel neckline, full skirt, and pilgrim style ivory sleeve cuffs. I think the style is very “Kiki.”

    I’m always fascinated by natural blondes like her (Yes – I know her haircolor is enhanced, but she’s very fair and obviously was a tow head.) And I LOVE that she doesn’t try to tan, bronze or orange away her fair features like SOME people (Lilo…)

  15. gg says:

    At least she’s not fat?

  16. gigi* says:

    Nop!And what’s with the face???

  17. Siren6 says:

    The dress is a big miss but her hair looks fab!

  18. sasa says:

    I think the dress without the cuffs is cute and just right for Kiki. She looks lovely.

  19. gobo says:

    I’m pretty meh when it comes to the dress but I think she’s starting to look much healthier and more beautiful as a result. For a while there… shudder.

  20. Embee says:

    I’m guessing that this dress looks better in person than in photographs.

    She looks good, I think. As others have said, her hair is wonderful at this length/style.

  21. greencardigan says:

    Stand-up straight, please!

  22. Erandyn says:

    Bargain bin.

  23. kelBear says:

    Fugly!

  24. Fabianne says:

    I’m not crazy about the lace on the top and the white cuffs. Love the skirt’s lace. She looks very nice in that third photo.

  25. JustBe says:

    I think that dress is quite hideous. It could be her posture contributing to it, but it looks like a poor design/cut.
    Her hair looks healthy, but there’s something behind her eyes that seems like she’s aged (mentally) tremendously since she was last on the scene. I don’t know if it’s sadness or what, but a couple of the pictures make her seem as if she’s channeling the ghost/looks of June Cleaver.

  26. Megan says:

    she doesn’t look drunk off her ass and her hair is brushed… so this is an improvement.

  27. kristen says:

    I may be in the minority, but I love this dress! Like a sexy BDSM schoolteacher…I’ll stop here 🙂

    the problem is her styling; the hair and makeup are fug- she needs a stylist! not just someone who can pick out pretty clothes.

  28. Eve says:

    The dress is hideous but I happen to find Kirsten Dunst pretty: her shade of blonde hair is really beautiful, she’s got great skin, super cute dimples and heck, I even like her snaggle teeth.

  29. kristin says:

    For her, this is an A+, since she doesn’t look dirty or homeless. Give her credit where credit is due! I LOVE her hair and makeup. Dress is meh, but I’ve seen her in much worse.

  30. Ron says:

    Hair and makeup are great. Dress looks like something my Aunt Fannie wore to church in 1963.

  31. SamiHami says:

    Horrible dress. She is obviously wasted in those pics. She looks like she can barely stand up.

  32. Mia135 says:

    The dress is supposed to be worn with a nude look underneath. I understand why she had to, but wearing it with the black vest (it’s not a bra) and her overall posture makes her look weird and matronly.

  33. ziggy says:

    she’s a pretty woman. dresses like crap, but pretty…

  34. serena says:

    She’s cute. It’s not that terrible.

  35. Kelly says:

    She is beautiful, naturaly beautiful, no botox, no nose job, no stupid lip fillers. She looks great in everything! And she is a good actress!

  36. original kate says:

    i love kirsten. i’m uncertain why, but i do.

  37. Hautie says:

    I don’t think she is remotely wasted.

    She may look a little tired. But this is the cleanest she has looked in… forever. I guess moving home to her Mother’s house has helped.

    I always liked her movies… but somewhere along the way she got lost. And ended up like Lohan. Without all the crack drama from her parents.

    And it is so nice to see a great haircut. I am so tired of all the weaves, extensions and bad wigs that have taken over.

  38. jaye E says:

    From the neck up, this is the best she’s looked in years. From the neck down, however…yikes!

  39. Bella Mosley says:

    Sometimes I do wonder how these designers ever became famous. Or why they don’t go back and destroy the mistakes they made – like this dress. Pretty girl – hideous dress.

  40. Kim says:

    AWFUL! She is a terrible actress with an ego (why i have no idea) the size or Mars. She is unattractive and cant act for beans. Shes living off the movie she did when she was like 10 and Spiderman which was out what 5 years ago?

  41. Radfedg says:

    Wearing stockings with open-toe shoes is so tacky, but the simple haircut and restrained make-up are uber-chic.

  42. HakuraChii says:

    I don’t care for this look at all. I think the waist of this dress is at an awful place. Creates an odd shape. And I may be alone in this, but I think the two differently patterned laces clash with eachother. The sleeves are just RIDICULOUS.

    Her face and hair look great though! Everything else is just a mess xD

  43. CA says:

    Kaiser – The movie’s actually on ITunes now!! Its some pre-release thingy. You have to pay 9.99 to rent it but if you think about it you’d probably pay more at a movie. I thought it was good. Ryan’s extremely creepy (but great)in it and the ending is crazy

  44. bagladey says:

    Kirsten Dunst always looks low-budget.

  45. Beth says:

    Since when is Valentino “budget”? Am I the only one asking myself?

  46. Eleonor says:

    That dress is a bad choice for her, but I think it’s not awful,it requires someone like Dita Von Teese; Dita would be great in it.

  47. Red Rooster says:

    Valentino knows more about fashion than any of you Target/Walmart shoppers who watch Project Runway and think you’re qualified to comment on fashion. None of you are offering anything insightful.
