Kirsten Dunst has always been one of Hollywood’s biggest fashion inspirations. Since her breakout role in the 1994 film Interview With a Vampire and starring in other hit movies like The Virgin Suicides, Bring It On, and Marie Antoinette — just to name a few — the Jersey native quickly became an industry sweetheart.
