Kirsten Dunst steps out with her husband Jesse Plemons to attend the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards. What’s great about this date night is that it takes us all back to the 2012 Tumblr era of side-swept back. Wispy, elegant, and oh-so-charming, these soft curly bangs make for the best hairstyle for any red carpet event.

Understated Class for the Annual Show

In her own right, Kirsten is known to make waves with her fashion sense. And this week’s awards event is no less. She kept her attire subtle and classy, with a simple low-back black gown as she sizzled at the star-studded gathering. She rocked her blonde tresses in a half updo tied with a black bow, while the rest was in undone curls left recklessly at the shoulders.

Through Kirsten Dunst, we relive our Tumblr era side bangs fashion, only now we have a delicate twist. Instead of having a heavy portion of your front hairs whisked to the side, take a cue from Dunst. Let a few hair strands dance on your forehead in a feathery manner, slightly touching the ear.

A Happy Affair for the Beau

Dunst’s look sends out good vibes and is infectious as the hubby is elated to win recognition for his latest flick. Along with director Martin Scorsese, Jesse accepted the “Vanguard Award” for their film “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Plemons played Tom White, an investigator in the crime thriller. Plemons matched Kirsten’s look in a black tuxedo and clicked candid photos of his wife.

Battle with Depression

Kirsten Dunst, who started her career as a child actress, is a strong advocate of mental health as she battled with depression when she was 27. “It’s hard to talk about such a personal thing, but it is important to share,” she expressed. She was angry all the time and was repressing a lot of emotions during that time.

However, the 41-year-old “Spider-Man” star is now in a good place, and she says that medication helped. Her repertoire includes experimental films like “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “The Power of the Dog,” & “Melancholia,” and commercial blockbusters like “Bring It On” & “Bachelorette.”

Prefers to Work with Female Directors

While several actresses make a hue and cry about not having a chance to work with female directors, Dunst seeks them out. Over half of her films, such as “The Beguiled,” “The Virgin Suicides,” and “Woodshock” are by woman filmmakers. In that view, she is a true female champion and a beacon of light. And her latest look with side-swept bangs is apt to prove this point.
