Kirsten Dunst is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of V magazine lookin’ all kinds of old skool Hollywood glam. Ki Ki is lookin’ very much like silver screen starlet a la Jean Harlow or Marlene Dietrich in this beautiful new photospread shot by famed fashion photographer Mario Testino. Here is our first look at Kirsten‘s V magazine coverphoto and a bit of a tease of her coverstory article:

“THE ART OF BEING KIRSTEN DUNST” Hollywood’s bored and beautiful blonde has become an icon for a generation, but this year it’s all about reinvention. Art muse, rising director, even serious dramatic actress—you can be anything when you’re Kirsten Dunst. Inside V MAGAZINE (issue #64) Dunst discusses her unique friendships with both the Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte and Japanese pop artist Takashi Murakami as well as her upcoming long-awaited film All Good Things. V64 hit newsstands today.
Kirsten‘s V article is not online just yet but after the jump, you can see a batch of absolutely beautiful photos from her V photospread. I’m not kidding, IMHO these photos are among the most beautiful of Kirsten Dunst ever published — check ‘em out after the jump …

Okay … I don’t *love* the one of her smiling but the rest of the photos are stunning. She really does have that Hollywood glam look going on. I understand that Gwyneth Paltrow has signed on to play Marlene Dietrich in an upcoming biopic on her life … I say, Kirsten Dunst looks more the part. What do y’all think of these photos? Do we like?

These are stunning. I always thought Kirsten Dunst was cute, at best, but these photos really bring out a more glamorous side of her. Beautiful.
She is adorable and I want her to be in more films!
These are beautiful, though I’m not sure about the eyebrows, a bit scary.
She kinda looks like a vampire on the cover picture :s
she is beautifull but i have always thinked that her eyes are lifeless just like the kirsten stewart
While Kirsten may look more the part, I don’t feel like she’s got the acting chops for the part. Love her, but she’s better off doing cutesy. IMO Gwen has a better range than Kirsten.
I actually really like them!! She looks great!!
she looks so sad in all of them. but just gorgeous.
Gwyneth as Marlene – UGH. I have to admit that Margot Tennenbaum is one of my favorite movie characters ever and obviously Gwyneth did a good job but why not get Diane Kruger to play Marlene? Not only does she kind of look like her but she is also GERMAN. Thus I wouldn’t have to listen to some fake, atrocious German accent.
The eyebrows freak me out a little.
She has sad eyes…
Ali, you are BRILLIANT for recommending Diane Kruger. That would be the perfect fit. I think Kirsten looks great in these pictures. She has beautiful skin.
I love Kirsten Dunst! I wish she would get her life together and start popping out movies!
She is one of only very few in Hollywood who do look like the old Classic era. Cate Blanchett is one too. I even believe scarlett johansson looks the part. Keira Knightly to name a few.
Gwenth playing Dietrich what does Madonna feel about this.
Marlene Dietrich is Amazing!
v cover artwork is always so awkward looking IMHO. i like the last 2 pictures tho.
Holy crap, girl looks beautiful! I am so impressed. I have been kinda sour on Dunst since Elizabethtown (everyone loves that movie, I effing HATE IT) but these pics have given me a new outlook! She looks soooooo good.
she is pretty…a little help from make-up and photoshop. Looks great when she isn’t staying up all nite partying
She is so yesterday. So over her. In fact, I was never really liked her in the first place. The only thing I enjoyed her in was Little Women, when she was young. I would NEVER go to a movie because Kirstin Dunst was in it, and I bet a lot of others feel the same way…hence why her star has been shrinking.
Wait a minute…I just read that they`re calling her “an ICON of a generation“?!?? Yeah right, nice try.
Hate the eyebrows, make her look like an alien. Yuck! Otherwise she is lovely.
