The inspiration behind Kirsten Dunst’s old school photo shoot for V Magazine

Truthfully, I can take or leave Kristen Dunst. The gin-soaked actress doesn’t offend me to the point where I would refuse to see a movie with her name on the marquee, but I also wouldn’t run out to buy a magazine that contained her on the cover. However, in the latest issue of V Magazine, even staunch Dunst haters would likely agree that the actress looks absolutely stunning as an old school siren shot by Mario Testino.

The images, specifically the shot at left, reminds me of one of my favorite fashion books: In High Fashion—The Conde Nast Years, 1923-1937, which chronicles the work of Edward Steichen, the one-time chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair.

Personally, while I love this Testino shot, I love Steichen’s work from the flapper era even more. The photo at right appeared as the cover of his book.

Which shot do you like better?

Oscar fashion 2010: Red carpet gut reactions

Sarah Jessica Parker: Her pastel yellow Chanel Couture frock makes her look like a giant shapeless sack…and she’s a size 0. This looks like the dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in Sex and the City’s fifth season finale—the Hampton’s wedding. Mind you, SJP was pregnant then. Just saying.
