"The other interesting thing about her face is that it represents a style of beauty about 80 years out of fashion."

"Certain faces go in and out of style and she has the pursed lips, luminous eyes and heart-shaped face of a silent screen star from the '20s."

Jason (the commenter) म्हणाले...: I sat through Marie Antoinette just to see her get decapitated (what could be more fun?) and it was completely left out. Boy, was I pissed.; ६/३/१०, १०:४१ AM
traditionalguy म्हणाले...: She looks like a real female to me. That means her natural beauty only needs a strong man to draw her out and enjoy a beautiful life together with her. Maybe this spring she will find a good man. If not, then she needs champagne and laughter therapy until she does.; ६/३/१०, १०:४४ AM
bagoh20 म्हणाले...: The legs on the models there are...scary. So unattractive.; ६/३/१०, ११:२९ AM
Unknown म्हणाले...: The young Gloria Swanson, at the time, was pretty much the standard. In the 60s and 70s, Bernadette Peters was more of a 20s-ish looker.

Ms. Dunst isn't all that pretty, no eyesore, but no beauty, either.; ६/३/१०, ११:३१ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: As far as I'm concerned there's only one style of feminine beauty that matters ... okay, feminine grooming, to be more specific.

lemondog म्हणाले...: she has dead eyes.; ६/३/१०, ११:५२ AM
Nichevo म्हणाले...: She seems to have a very square head. That is IIRC a stereotype of Norwegians. Is she of Norse ancestry?

TW: clerbial. Is she the clerbial "squarehead?"; ६/३/१०, ११:५२ AM
Henry म्हणाले...: Pairing up the actress shots with the runway shots is really interesting. Nice work. Makes you wonder if the catwalk is actually intended to destroy beauty.; ६/३/१०, १२:०४ PM
kentuckyliz म्हणाले...: It's just her makeup job. Kirsten Dunst is pretty and a fairly decent actress. I like her.

So happy natural fresh faced looks are popular, rather than that overly made up look of the early starlets.; ६/३/१०, १२:५२ PM
Methadras म्हणाले...: She has flat tooth syndrome.; ६/३/१०, १:०० PM
Balfegor म्हणाले...: Re: Nichevo

Every time I have seen her in a movie, the first thing that has come into my mind is how Germanic she looks.

Re: whether she's 80 yrs out of date, her eyes seem a bit small for that. My image of all those 20s and 30s actresses is of big, expressive eyes, hooded, open, whatever -- Dunst's eyes are kind of small and squinty here. And her eyebrows are flat and pointy, rather than arched in the old style, but I think that's just the styling here.; ६/३/१०, २:१६ PM
Lincolntf म्हणाले...: I never knew such seemingly universally inane "Fashion Features" could vary in quality like that. The one of Biel and Garner looks like a Junior High yearbook project gone horribly wrong.
The Dunst one is instantly interesting and of implicit high quality.; ६/३/१०, ५:३८ PM
former law student म्हणाले...: As with Scarlett Johanssen and Natalie Portman, we remember how the adolescent looked. They look quite different now that they're hitting their late 20s. I would say that Portman is beautiful while the other two are merely striking.; ६/३/१०, ६:३९ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: If Kirsten Dunst is an icon for a generation, yet I've got my own tag and she doesn't, I figure that makes me either an Idol for the Ages or the Cynosure of All Existence.; ६/३/१०, ७:५० PM
