Yay or Nay: Kirsten Dunst is a Checkerboard

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday January 21, 201398 comments


Oh em gee. I love Kirsten Dunst. She's so cute and quirky and she was in the cinematic masterpiece known as Bring It On. I also love her because she wore a checkerboard dress from Louis Vuitton's Spring 2013 collection.



Our new co-op Melissa thought that this dress was hideous and did nothing for her shape. At first glance, you might be thinking the same thing. But I'm here to defend Kiki Dunst's choice because I love this dress. I love the neckline, I love the sleeve length, I love how it's a column, shift dress cut.

I know that you're probably all going, 'No Alex, it isn't love, it's lust. It's infatuation. Think about it a little while and look again, you'll see that it's actually super fug'. To that I say, 'Not a chance'. I'm especially in love with the fabric. I love that mustardy brown hue and the sheen of the satin. You guys it's true love, and true love lasts a lifetime.

Kristen Stewart, Kerry Washington and Jessica Alba are all fans of the collection as well (see here) but I still think Dunst worked it the best.

So, are you guys on Team Melissa or Team Alex? Is this totally awful or totally amazing? Leave a comment with your yay or nay vote by January 27th for a chance to win a prize!

I'm actually going to have to say YAY to this one too! I really like the square cut top and open back, and I think she's one of the only girls who could pull off this colour and pattern. Looks really nice with her pale skin and blonde hair.

I like it from the waist up. Below it's too long and straight below. Would be nicer at a cocktail/vintage style and length I think.

Team Melissa! I don't like the way this dress looks on her, it's not flattering.

I am actually Team Alex. I kind of like it. It is an out-of-the-box choice, but she styled it well. My only problem is the bottom, I think it just ends awkwardly.

Sorry! I'm with @Marie1234.

NAY! I don't believe this flatters her body at all, as it's a little difficult to even look at the dress - makes me a little queasy. The only thing that I actually like about this is the back cut, it's really nice.
