Yay or Nay: Kirsten Dunst is a Checkerboard

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!

Actually the sleeve would have been cuter at a cap. the whole thing needs a redo. The matching shoe also makes me wince a bit. Sorry girl thumbs down.

	on January 23, 2013 Steffikah 9,295 said: Can I be on team both? For Team Alex: It's an interesting pattern, and the neckline/sleeve length is nice. For Team Melissa: The length isn't "long" or "medium"... I feel if it's going to be long, it needs to BE LONG. This is an awkward length as is. She also needs a belt or something to define her waist because, where is she in that thing??

	on January 23, 2013 Vivid 1,738 said: Nay. It's not extremely awful, but there is too much of the print.
